Part of the online dating experience involves eventually providing an email address to someone you are communicating with to make the process easier. For this, you should register an email account for the sole purpose of online dating. You want to do this for a couple of reasons. First, by not giving out your real email address, you remain safe in not providing too much identifying information to the person you are initially communicating with. Second, a new email address will be SPAM free and easy to keep your dating life organized.
Yahoo recently evolved its free email service to include 100MB of storage! This is an increase over the 6MB it used to offer. And Google is set to launch Gmail that will provide up to 1GB of storage space for free. Select a good username (one that matches your online dating username, if possible) and don't provide your Last Name in the last name field (which protects your identity when communicating with others). Never post your email address to prevent SPAM bots from picking it up.
Most of all, be selective of who you give your email address to. Some people set up a profile and state in the profile message for you to put an email address in your first communication since they are not a member (Here's some actual text from one profile: "I am not able to write you back if you write me. So you must send another address with your letter.") When you provide your email address, you are suddenly inundated with SPAM and may find your profile suddenly popping up on sites you never signed up for! Be very selective who you give your email address to and you will have a wonderful SPAM free dating communication experience. (SOURCE: Online Dating Newsletter - www.onlinedatingnewsletter.com)
