   • Create a New Email Just for Online Dating. Our first tip is to separate your online dating identity from your everyday online activity. By keeping those two worlds apart, you can keep strangers from stalking your other social media accounts.
   • Use Photos That Will Only Appear on Your Profile. Your online dating photos typically have a central spot on your profile because, like it or not, looks are very important to potential matches.
   • Don’t Publish or Give Out Personal/Financial Info. This should be a no-brainer. Identity theft hit an all-time high in 2016, impacting about 15.4 million consumers, and remains a growing problem thanks to the ease of sharing and stealing information online.
   • Ask a Lot of Questions. Asking questions is a good way to keep a flirtatious conversation going, and it also helps singles ferret out falsehoods, inconsistencies, and sketchy behavior.
