Assignment 2 Report – Practices good ethics in Online Dating.

When you’re communication solely on-line, there’s very no excuse for not being entirely
straight with the opposite person. The great factor regarding online dating sites is that it’s so
much easier to mention doubtless embarrassing things than face to face, or maybe even on the
telephone. Most people square measure so much bolder in computer network than we tend to
might ever hope to be within the real world. But though online dating site has its uses, it also
can bring out the worst in us. Freed up from our usual social inhibitions, generally, we will
discover associate degree outrageous aspect to ourselves we tend to never know existed.
Simply because we’re solely reprehension someone on-line, there’s no reason why we tend to
shouldn’t show them a similar level of fine manners we'd do if we tend to speak face to face.
Failing to reply promptly to their emails, chat, being blatantly rude, or leading them on below the
belt is simply as mean-spirited in cyberspace as it is in real life. There is no wrong for people to
find love relationships through online dating sites but what they need to do is be aware and
develop good ethics when using it to avoid some issues that can lead to such as scams.

1. Honesty is the best policy


The internet may well be awash with cyber liars but deception is a bad starting
point for any kind of relationship (“The Protocol of Online Dating”, n.d). Honesty
is important, right from the start of a relationship both men and women are
expected to be truthful more or less. It's positively wrong on a dating website bio
to idle about marital status, as an example. Throughout a relationship, one
person should not purposely mislead the other either by outright lying or by not
mentioning things a partner would want to know and have the right to know
(“Ethical Issues in Dating”, 2015). Certainly, that includes simultaneously dating
others. The problem with any kind of dishonesty is that maintaining it's terribly
arduous work. One lie usually ends up in another, and it’s all too straightforward
to trip ourselves up by contradicting ourselves or failing to stay systematically to
an equivalent story. People should all work to treat other people with greater
kindness and respect (Kieding, J, 2017). Thus don’t be tempted into begging up
your money, skilled, or any kind of status.

2. Be Rational
Review your online presence. Purge religiously for both your personal safety as
much as your peace of mind and privacy. At the end of the day, we won’t want
that person or Googler to know more about ourselves than what we comfortable
sharing. Ultimately, we have a responsibility to erase traces of ourselves online
that we aren’t okay with everyone seeing. Until you personally get burned, there’s
often a delusion that only your friends read your blog, that nobody cares of your
past from five years ago or saw your slightly offensive drunk tweet. Don’t get
seduced by that thinking. Even hiding behind a username only works if you use a
different one for every site (“Ethics Digital Dating”, n.d).

3. Self-Reliance (User responsibility and improved behavior)


Users have to trust their instincts and not falling in love too easy. Don't solicit or
accept a date from someone you are not going to be interested in. It is best to be
honest with yourself about your interest in a person rather than lead him/her on.
You may not be able to accurately assess whether you will end up with a
particular individual until you have dated them for a period of time but if you're
relatively sure there’s virtually no chance of something working out, don't get
involved at all. Going on online dates can be pretty scary, you are literally
meeting up with someone you haven’t got a clue about no matter how detailed
their profiles are and this may freak you out.

4. Trust
In online dating, you communicate with people through online which you cannot
see face to face. You don’t know what their true feeling and their behavior in real
life, which means they have the potency of being a liar to you. So don’t put your
trust easily to others especially the one that you meet online. Not all that you see
on profile that publish online were real. Some of them just use the others people
in their profile to make it that they attractive. Next don’t put your trust at someone
you just met and communicate especially in person that claim want to be in love
with you in short amount of time. When you put your trust to that by telling all
about yourself and your problem so they can get to know you more but the other
person did not tell or give their information to you when you ask. There is a
potential for that person is a scammer. When you use the online platform
especially when you have the aim to find your love, don’t easily trust the people
that you met or communicate online without know their real behavior or met them
in person.
5. Don’t mix up
It is fun to be in a relationship with someone but do not mix up you dating life with
your routine in life such as your job and education. Sometime you need to stop or
give yourself some time off in searching the love in your life which mean you
need set a time for you to use the online dating online platform. You make time in
the weekend only or use it an hour or two per day. So use the time when you are
offline to living your amazing life to the fullest without any disturbance from your
online dating partner. Hang out with friends, read a good book, watch your
favorite TV show or find something that you interest in with this you can distract
yourself from worry about dating life or love problem in life and find the balance
between your life and dating life.
