When using public computers for online dating or meeting new people, there are some important precautions to keep in mind.

1. Refrain from entering personal information. It is important to not enter any passwords, bank account information, credit card numbers, address, or birthdates on a public computer.


2. Avoid downloading anything. Since the computer is not your own, the safety of its files is questionable. So it is best to avoid downloading anything that could possibly damage the computer.


3. Be aware of who is viewing your information. It is important to make sure that no one else can view the information that you are entering.


4. Be slightly cautious with your online activity. Avoid discussing any personal issues or providing too much information about the person you are meeting.
