The Do's and Don'ts of On-line Dating
Just so you know my opinion straight up, I consider On-line dating a pain in the backside. Avoid it at all costs. However, if you are going to get involved in on-line dating, the first thing you will need to is write a self profile. It is very important to think the profile through carefully because this is the tool that will attract attention and help you reel in the man of your dreams.
Perhaps writing isn't something you think you do all that well. Nevertheless, you can do this.
Firstly, be completely honest about yourself.
You want to find a partner that will love you for what you are, not what you pretend to be. Think about what it is that you want out of a relationship. Do you mind if a potential partner is a smoker, or is that a complete turn-off for you? What about pets? Perhaps you like cats and your partner doesn't. Chances are he's not the guy for you. All these issues need to be taken into consideration when looking for a mate.
Ask yourself what makes you unique?
Do you have any special talents? Can you play the piano? Perhaps you're a couch potato. Perhaps you love to compete in marathons. If you love sport do you want to be stuck with a couch potato?
Make a list of the things that are important in your life.
Perhaps you volunteer at the local children’s hospital and that your involvement is a very fulfilling part of your life. You will want someone who would, at the very least, support you if not join you in your cause. It's important to share similar values.
When you place a photo of yourself, make sure it's up-to-date and that it actually looks like you. If you can afford it, get a photographer to take some flattering, current shots of you. Some online dating sites even provide a list of photographers in your area that specialize in online dating site photos.
On-line Safety
Dating Online can be a lot of fun. You need to exercise common sense and good judgment when on-line. Online safety rules are the same as real world safety rules.
Would you give your name, address and phone number to a strange man that you met on the street? I think not. So you should never do that online either. Always play it safe. Take your time and never give information like where you work as who you work for. Rather, simply say “I work as a receptionist in a large Advertising agency”. (if that's what you do) It is safe to tell him what city you live in but you should not be any more specific than that until you have been chatting and exchanging emails for awhile.
If you decide that you are comfortable with having a face-to-face meeting, make sure it's in a public place and during day light hours.
Taking a friend with you can add extra security. It is also a good idea to have a friend call you on your cell phone shortly after the arranged meeting begins. This way, you can always make an excuse and a hasty exit if things are not what you'd hoped for.
Don't forget that you are in control. Never give out personal information and don't be pressured into doing anything you don't want to do.
