What is online dating and how does it work on lgrdating.co.uk?
It is fun and safe and above all a highly effective way of meeting your ideal partner. Making contact with and meeting other singles looking for a relationship has never been so easy! To search for other members all you need to do is Click Here (link to search page).

Once you have searched and found someone you are interested in you can make contact with them by either sending a message, sending a flirt, sending an IM. To do this you need to join which is simple and totally FREE! (link to the registration page) which takes a matter of minutes. Once you have completed the registration process you will receive your unique Account ID and Password which allows you to access the site's huge database of singles. Don’t worry personal details such as your real email address will always remain anonymous and never appear to other members.
Is it safe?
Yes, meeting people via our dating service is one of the safest forms of meeting your ideal partner. LGR Dating has been set-up to provide a fun and secure dating environment where quality single adults, who share common goals, can make friends, date, form relationships and find life partners. You don’t have to give any personal details (such as your real email address, telephone number or home address) to anyone unless you wish to do so and all correspondence can be done anonymously.

For added safety please follow these simple rules:
• Never give your home address, email address or telephone number to a stranger.
• Always arrange to meet in a very public place, i.e. a restaurant or bar. Never invite a stranger to your home.
• Always tell someone else where you are going and approximately what time you will be back home.
• Above all use your common sense, if you are unsure about meeting someone then don't, your instincts are usually right.
Online dating is different?
Online dating is a very immediate way to get in touch with other like-minded people. You can become very close, very quickly without having met them – this can be great but follow these simple tips for a more enjoyable experience:
• Make use of one of our anonymous methods to contact someone – do not give out personal details straightaway. Do not put personal details in your profile or initial messages such as phone number, email address, home address or place of work
• By using one of our anonymous means to contact a member you can gradually learn more about them, later choosing if you want to give out more personal contact information, or pursue a relationship. Consider setting up an email account just for your dating – a free account like Hotmail, or a mobile phone number that you can easily change. If you call another member you can use the blocking technique to prevent you number appearing on Caller ID.
• Don’t fake your photograph and don’t lie in your profile or messages – if you’re serious about meeting new people, what’s the point? Remember, always be yourself.
• Don’t be afraid to flirt in messages, but equally don’t promise anything that in reality you’d be uncomfortable with if you were meeting face-to-face.
• Be careful if you think a member is lying to you, or:
o Is being forceful about you giving out personal details when they won’t do the same.
o Won’t answer reasonable questions directly.
o Gives inconsistent information about their age, appearance, marital status, employment and so on.
o Makes claims that seem extraordinary, or contradictory to what you already know about them.
• If you feel uncomfortable about a member, stop contacting them. You can block them so you will not receive unwanted messages. If you feel someone is abusing the service, tell us (link to contact us)
• Always use your common sense and be responsible for you conduct.
Arrangements for a safe “offline” date
When you get to the point of meeting face-to-face follow our simple tips for a safer experience:
• Remember, when you meet someone for the first time they are still a stranger.
• Meet in a public place that you know.
• Never arrange to be picked you up from your home.
• Never allow your date to make arrangements for your travel or hotel accommodation.
• Always have a friend or family member to call on if you need assistance. Always let them know where you are going and what time you’ll be expected back. Call them to let them know things are ok. Leave details of the person you are going to meet.
• Consider going on a double date with some of your friends, or going as part of a group of people you both know.
• Don’t accept a lift home if you feel uncomfortable about it
• Always have a contingency plan for the unexpected so you can get away quickly, and have someone close by you can call on. Take a mobile phone with you – and make sure it is fully charged, working and has enough credit to make calls.
• It can take time to get to know someone properly. A person who is truly interested in you won’t mind if you want to take your time in a relationship.
• Impostors and liars can be found anywhere, especially in “offline” places such as bars and nightclubs. The internet is no different, however they are more easily spotted online and we will always remove anyone from the site who is less than genuine.
• Always use your common sense, keep in control and don’t be forced into doing something you wouldn’t normally do.
