You can get lucky with Internet dating sites, or you can meet some real clowns. Here are a few guidelines to keep it safe, but still have fun.

Screen potential partners carefully. Criminal record searches can be a good thing. Set up a blind email account with a free server, so you can keep dating correspondence separate from your regular email. That way, if you do get some weirdo stalker you can ignore the messages, or in the worst case scenario, shut down the account.

Write a charming funny profile, and feel free to stretch the truth about your height, hair color, weight, (heck, age) and financial status. (But don’t go too overboard.) If a meeting never happens, details won’t matter, and the fantasy can be worth it. There’s always time for honesty if you meet someone you really like—chances are, the person who catches your interest also stretched the truth about many of these same details.

Use a good old photo of yourself before gray hair/no hair, crow lines and jelly belly. If you are over 50, sunset photos and blurry ones are best. My sexy photo attracts small town rednecks and retired college professors so maybe it’s time for a new one.

You won’t gain points by starting off with why you’re single. Everyone’s ex was the worst person in the world (that’s why they’re exes), so skip the bitter parts of your history.

Once you feel like you’ve gotten to know someone through numerous emails and chats, meet first via phone. One good criterion for screening potential partners is how many times they make you laugh in the first ten minutes on the phone. Anyone can write a clever hook if they have long enough (or someone to write for them), but it’s harder to do it on the fly. Engage in several conversations before you agree to meet. Then meet in a public place and see if sparks fly.

When the authorities warn you of the dangers of having sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities.
