Online dating is a wonderful opportunity for anyone to meet a like-minded singleton who is ready for a relationship, but it is important to remember to stay safe.

NoBullying.com has published its guide to staying out of trouble while browsing the web for a prospective partner, and it started by saying the first thing to get right is choosing a reputable site.

After this, it is important not to give out personal information right away and photos should only be exchanged directly with a recipient.

Macartan Mulligan, co-founder of NoBullying.com, said: "Online dating is becoming such a widespread trend online that it poses some risks."

He went on to suggest that parents and teachers should be quick to point out the dangers of online bullying to children so they know how to avoid it.

And when it comes to dating, the organisation recommends taking things to the next level at your own pace and with safety in mind.ADNFCR-2867-ID-801707886-ADNFCR
