Dating sites are being targeted by scam artists. With many new free dating sites, scam artists have found a great resource of possibly desperate people they can take advantage of.

One common scam is involving african countries that claim to have money they are willing to share with you if only you help them get the said money out of the country. Getting this money out of the country involves you sending them money. If you send them any money, they will then come up with another reason why you need to send them more money.

Should you a girl a drink? Well, this depends on the situation, but as a first chat up line I would say no.

If you nervously go up and ask girls if they want drinks all night, you are going to waste a lot of money.
