Then if the date turns out to be a disaster, at least a swift exit can be made.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, it is suggested that soldiers should only swap mobile phone numbers with potential love interests so if it doesn&rsquo;t work out, they won&rsquo;t be bombarded with calls to their land lines. <\/p>\n<p>But the rules of conventional relationships still apply in the online dating world. Jeffrey Hall, lead researcher of a study on internet dating that was recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, recommended that internet partnerships are unlikely to be any different to those formed through friends, school or work. <\/p>\n<p>Posted by Samantha Thompson<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-19674147-ADNFCR\"
