There is no denying that the world of dating is a difficult one to navigate in the current day and age. There is so much to contend with, after all. Not only do you have to deal with the social media age but it is also hard to meet people through traditional channels. In this blog post, though, we are going to shed light on two of the more serious matters in the world of dating - scams and violence. So, let’s take a look…

Dating Scams
Dating scams are, unfortunately, becoming more and more common. We have all heard stories about people that have lost tons of money because their online prince charming turned out to be a scammer. We also all have a tendency to think that we ‘wouldn’t be that stupid’, but these scams can happen to everyone.

Most scammers are intelligent in their approach; gaining your trust and making you fall for their lines. If you are worried that you could be talking to an online dating scammer, read on to discover some key signs to look out for:

•    Too much too fast – Does the relationship seem to be moving quickly? Has the person you are talking to told you that they love you and want to spend the rest of their life with you? Of course, this is something we all want to here. But, when genuinely looking for love, we don’t tend to throw around phrases like this so quickly. It could be a sign that the person wants something else.
•     They can’t meet up – This is a clear indication of a scam. If you want a relationship with someone, why wouldn’t you want to meet him or her? If the person keeps coming up with excuses, it could be that they there is a huge distance between where you live and they are not who they claim to be. 
•    It is all about money – This is the biggest sign of them all. A lot of scammers will indicate that they make huge sums of money and that they can turn a profit for the person they are talking too – so don’t always think they are going to be taking the approach of being hard done by.


If you have noticed any of the signs above, it's only wise to keep your guard up. You may want to consider have getting law enforcement involved.
Violence
Another concern in the world of dating today is domestic violence. Sadly, there are women all over the world who are suffering violence at the hands of their partner. For a lot of women, this happens after a number of years. However, for some, it can happen in the very early days of dating. Violence can show itself in many different ways too. The scars are not always physical. If the person you are dating constantly puts you down and makes you feel worthless, this is a sign that you need to get out.

When you are in a relationship, the other person is meant to make you feel great about yourself and bring out the best version of yourself. If your partner or the person you are dating does not do this, and you feel like he is trying to strip away your identity, the sooner you get out, the better. It can be hard to leave an abusive relationship. However, if you pick up on the signs during the dating process, you can leave before you end up getting too attached. 

All things considered, there is no denying that the world of dating is a difficult one to navigate today. Nevertheless, the two areas mentioned above are undoubtedly two of the most serious you need to concern yourself with when it comes to your quest to find romance. Hopefully, you will have found the information that has been provided useful. It is always important to protect yourself. ​​
