Trust your instincts. Well-thought-out decisions generally lead to better results. Don't rush. Take all the time you need to develop trust.

• If you suspect that the person is not being honest with you, end this acquaintance.
• "Love can make you blind", as the saying goes. So be careful before you start to flirt and don't fall in love right away at the first click!
  
• If you have the impression that you communicate with a fake profile, conctact the Generation Love support.

3. Never send money!

As elsewhere in the world, the internet is home to some dishonest people. NEVER send money to someone you have met online but have never met in person!

• If someone asks for money, than this is probably fake. Use your common sense and let us know right away. To do this, you can use the 'Report Abuse' button in the profile view for each member.
• If someone asks you for money after you have already communicated through your personal e-mail address or other means of communication, please inform GenerationLove immediately!
• Be careful if someone asks you for money, regardless of the reason they give. It will be safer to end such a relationship.

You can not win a heart with money

Always remember, you can't win a heart with money. Please always bear in mind that a sincere person will never ask for money, no matter what the circumstances.

If someone asks for money, it doesn't have to be a fake or a rip-off. But money and expensive gifts can wait untill the other person is sure of their feelings. Money is never a guarantee for a relationship.

4. Personal meeting

If the chemistry between the people is right, you will know when you meet in person. But if you know the other person only through internet yet, than you should follow some hints for the first meeting:

• Wait for the first meeting untill there is enough trust.
• Let a friend know about your meeting, where you will be and how long.
• Only meet in public places like a restaurant or Café.
• For the first meeting you can also ask a fried to accompany you.
• Is you new acquaintance is living in another place, than it should be the man’s part to travel to see the woman in her town.
• Never send travel money if you are ask for it.
• If you want to meet with someone from another country, never act as a guarantor on behalf of another person (i.e. in regional to authorities, insurances, etc.)
