remember to follow all the advice that is given on the dating site - it is in your own interest not to agree immediately to a meeting with someone who appears to be your soulmate - take your time and talk to lots of people.
Don't give out your telephone numbers or address and always arrange to meet in a public place, do not accept a lift - lunchtimes are best for first dates - and always, always let someone know where you are going and when to expect you back.
trust your own instincts - but have fun, online dating is a very safe way of meeting new friends.
