important to remember to stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>NoBullying.com has published its guide to staying out of trouble while browsing the web for a prospective partner, and it started by saying the first thing to get right is choosing a reputable site.<\/p>\n<p>After this, it is important not to give out personal information right away and photos should only be exchanged directly with a recipient.<\/p>\n<p>Macartan Mulligan, co-founder of NoBullying.com, said: &quot;Online dating is becoming such a widespread trend online that it poses some risks.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He went on to suggest that parents and teachers should be quick to point out the dangers of online bullying to children so they know how to avoid it.<\/p>\n<p>And when it comes to dating, the organisation recommends taking things to the next level at your own pace and with safety in mind.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801707886-ADNFCR\"
