Women will probably get the most out of the tips for safety and the red flags to look for in online contacts. There certainly is value in learning the importance of safety with online contacts. But, honestly, it goes a bit far when Berry advises women to have a friend call them on a cell phone fifteen minutes into the first meeting to make sure that everything is alright. And I wholeheartedly disagree with her etiquette rule that breakups should be done in person if you met the person face-to-face, or by telephone if you talked to them on the telephone.

I don’t want to be unfair to Berry; however, I think most people would become impatient with her over-cautiousness. At least, I did. If you are feeling the need for caution, then Romancing the Web is meant for you.
