What precautions do you need to take on a second date? What kinds of personal information do you need to be careful about sharing at this point and as the relationship grows?

Whether it's the first date, second dateor 10th date, never disregard your common sense, judgment or gut feeling when deciding how much personal information to reveal. As your level of comfort growswith someone, you can be more open.

You should still be careful about revealing your home address or company name at an early stage, and it's also a good idea to withhold information about your children, including their names and the schools they attend.

More financial crime than any other crime occurs from online meetings, and a lot of con artists are very patient and will take a lot of time to try to earn a person's trust.

For this reason, you should never give the impression — in your profile, by email or chat, or in person — that you have a lot of money. And certain personal information, like your Social Security number and date of birth, shouldn't be revealed for quite some time, if ever.

The bottom line is this: Always protect yourself in every way you can until the person has earned your full trust, and even then you should continue to exercise caution and good judgment.
