Dating is not what it used to be. There are risks involved that we may have never thought about in the "good old days." This is especially true in big cities (like Denver).

With that in mind, DenverPersonals.org has a list of some safety tips to consider when choosing a dating service to join. These tips are also worthwhile to keep in mind with dating in general.

Tip #1: Be knowledgeable.
Find out all that you can about any dating service that you're thinking about joining. Some services are more reputable than others. Do they take precautions to make sure that members aren't exposed to danger?

Tip #2: Be cautious.
Know as much as possble about who you're going to be meeting with and the places you're going. You can't be too cautious in this area. This means that you should avoid meeting strangers that you've spoken with on the Internet.

Tip #3: Hosted singles events.
Try to only attend singles events that are planned and hosted by trustworthy people and organization. Don't put yourself at risk. Unsavory characters can hang out in places where the participants aren't screened. Reputable dating services will make sure to take care of that.

Tips #4: Local customer service.
Customer service is of the utmost importance. You need to be able to reach a live person in a time of need. Many dating services and social networks cannot offer this to their members.
