Anonymous Email Addresses

The most basic requirement is to get yourself an anonymous email


address from one of the thousands of web based email providers

on the Internet. Hotmail (www.hotmail.com) and Yahoo! Mail

(mail.yahoo.com) are by far the two biggest and most popular,

and are the only ones recommended in this book. As you will see

later, these two have extra benefits that will give you an added edge

in communicating. Only use other free email services if you have

some compelling reason to do so.

If you are using your own Internet connection then you will most

likely have your own email address provided by the service provider.

You should avoid using this address if you want to stay completely

anonymous.

Even if you don’t want to remain anonymous, there are a few

good reasons to get a new email address specifically for Internet

dating:

• You can choose to be completely anonymous at a later stage.
 
• It keeps all your personal emails and your Internet dating


emails separate.

• If you get harassed, bombarded with endless spam mail, or

just get sick of the whole thing you can simply shut down or

ignore the account. You will never be bothered again.
