Politeness Counts
While it doesn’t immediately sound like something that a lot of people first investigating the digital world of online dating and such should think about, being polite and conscientious is one of the best, if not most important, traits that anyone can develop – can be a real help in having a good and best of all productive time online.
It’s understandable that a lot of people, however, feel a certain kind of power at being anonymous online: they feel that since what they are writing cannot immediately be traced back to them they can say whatever they want without repercussions. But what these people totally forget about is that no one really is anonymous online: yes, the identities we create to do online dating and interacting may not immediately be traced back to who we are in the real world but that doesn’t mean that someone’s online reputation isn’t important.
