Ugandan Manners Online
Here’s an article out of Uganda about Online dating etiquette, most of which I absolutely agree with. Except #4. For heaven’s sake, why not look online for information about your correspondent? What is Googling all about, anyway? Click here for my earlier postings about Googling.
Rule no. 1: Respond politely and quickly to any expressions of interest.
Rule no. 2: Be honestHonesty is sign of respect.
Rule no. 3: Don’t move too fast.
Rule no. 4: Don’t go digging for information on your new friends.
Rule no. 5: Don’t treat the website like a porn site.
Rule no. 6: Don’t ask for favours. Never ask for money, credit cards, gifts, airline tickets or accommodation, no matter how close you are with your on-line friends.
It’s good to see these kind of guidelines from anywhere, but since so manyof the dating scams seem to be originating in Nigeria, Ugandan behavior suggestions are much appreciated.
