The best way to stay safe is to be honest and open with your potential partner. Ask questions about their background and lifestyle so you can get a better understanding of them before getting involved. Make sure to meet in public places like coffee shops or restaurants for safety reasons. Be wary of anyone who asks for money upfront or claims to be in another country when they're not. If someone seems too good to be true, it probably is. Finally, don't give out personal information online until you feel comfortable with the person you're talking to.
