A WARNING about fraudsters using UK dating website to target people for money has come from Thames Valley Police.

The force put out the caution urging people to be aware of the online scams.

It said scammers ‘lower their target’s defences’ by building an online relationship, then asking for sums of money.

It urged people not to give away too much personal detail online such as full name, date of birth and address. Never send or receive money, do not give away bank details and stick to reputable dating site’s messaging services.

Minneapolis world premiere plays off ‘Crazy Rich Asians,’ views romcoms through a biracial lens – Minneapolis Star Tribune

Playwright Leah Nanako Winkler is not ashamed to say it. She wanted a “Hot Asian Doctor Husband.” “It was 2017, I think, and at the time I was going through a lot of complicated feelings regarding race and dating and I thought, ‘I really want to end up with a hot Asian doctor husband,” recalled Winkler. Her dark comedy of the same name, commissioned by Theater Mu, gets its world premiere Friday at Mixed Blood Theatre. That thought came from a couple of places: Her mother’s serious illness made Winkler reflect on her Japanese heritage. And a bunch of weddings revealed that if you want to know how segregated this country remains, go to weddings. “My family is extremely diverse. My sister is married to a black dude.

Must love tutus: A guide to finding love (or at least a date) on the internet – AZCentral

Karina Bland Arizona Republic Published 11:30 AM EDT Aug 15, 2019 So many single people I know use online dating apps. It seems like a good way to meet people. We use the Internet for everything else: ordering pizza, booking vacations, paying bills.  I’d veer away from the more popular dating apps to ones for people over 50. That way, at 54, I’d be among the hot young things. First up, I’d need a profile, which sounded easy enough. “Must love tutus,” I began. Then I was stuck. So I turned to the Internet (of course). “Your profile should start out by describing your most prominent and positive character traits. Are you funny? Outgoing? Creative? Loyal? Affectionate? Intellectually curious?” Oh, sure. I’m all those things. READ MORE:  On how to break up, how NOT to pick up, and hanging in there Be interesting.
