Easy Online Dating Do's and Don'ts

Online dating is seems to be the way to meet someone new these days....no one has time anymore to let things happen naturally. Everyone wants to meet someone. Is it loneliness or an did someone open a can of erotic passion around you and now it's given you a taste for some too? Either way, this is safer and a more effective way to date. My advice, and this comes from experience...be honest. The one thing that men hate most is being lied to. Don't bend the truth, be straight up about it. You want your partner to like you for "you!"
 Little lies turn into big lies and before you now it, you aren't that terrific person in the profile that you built yourself up to be, nor are you the one that he thought you were. Honesty and integrity were two things instilled in me early on. Your partner will have much more respect for you if you just tell it like it is. When you find what/whom it is that you're looking for you'll know....

1. The most important rule: Be honest about who you are!
2. Use a good, current photograph.
3. Choose a dating site with a good reputation.
4. Investigate your dating service to decide if they are the right one for you.
5. It’s okay to use more than one service at the same time, my advice would be though not to sign up for all of them because checking your mail might become a full time job.
6. Take your time in building your profile. It’s the snapshot of your personality! Show some originality! Don't be afraid to be who you are. I wrote profiles for a living, so if you need help or advice.....please, write me in the comment section and I will respond! Remember your profile has to stand out amongst all the others so you need the eye catcher to end all eye catchers!
7. Be clear about what you want. If you only want a hookup, say so. Want more? Say so!
8. Use your profile heading to filter out the dates – for instance, “Looking for Younger Man” is a good way to get rid of those who are older than you.
9. Tell people how to contact you. Prefer email? Instant messaging? Make that very clear. Beware of the one that asks you to Yahoo Instant Messenger...spammers/fakes use that frequently to hide behind a computer and suck you in only weeks or months later to learn that their stories aren't adding up. Think SMART gals! If it seems too good to be true it is! Unless you fell off that turnip truck and hit your head awfully hard on the pavement, you have to know that there are story tellers out there just waiting to suck you in.
10. There are free sites, but paid sites tend to provide more security. (If you own a dating site and want more exposure, see me, I'm taking on new clients and assisting them in advertising on my web site that I'm currently rebuilding. Let's work together, I'm familiar with dating sites, and I specialize in the elite & exclusive sites. Michele@SimplyDeliciousLingerie.com
11. Watch out for married daters, even if your site says they will weed them out. If a man is married and you don't mind, then it becomes your decision, hopefully he'll have the balls enough to tell you up front.If you are on a sugardaddy, or seeking arrangements site, you know the rules...there aren't any!
12. If you are a serious stickler for privacy, give you photo only upon request. If a man insists on it and asks over and over for it, or for additional ones, he's a super freak, weirdo,..next!
13. Use a candid photo instead of a posed one – you will get more interest. No photo shopping your head onto another woman's body! If he gets to know you and sees you naked down the road, it could blow up in your face!
14. Use the message board on the dating site until you are comfortable with email.
15. Take the time to brush up on your communication skills. Men like smart women that speak in complete sentences and use big words occasionally in conversation. Communication is key, also he learns quickly if he can take you to social functions and charitable events. No man wants to introduce a woman to friends or colleagues and have a bunch of "babble" come out when she opens her mouth!
16. Do not lie about anything – it will come back to haunt you!
17. Set up an email account that is meant only for online dating. Is is important, otherwise you may lose important emails that are personal or business related that come through and get lost amongst the hotties who are looking to get to know you.
18. Don’t become overwhelmed by an avalanche of interest. Choose carefully who will get a slice of your time, and tell the others – gently! – that you are too busy to keep in contact.
19. Don’t give out your home phone number! You heard me NO NO NO!!
20. If you call them, use the “private” function on your phone to block Caller ID, at least until you are comfortable giving out your personal phone number.

Finding a good man is like find a good pair of shoes.....first you must try a few different ones on for size before you find one that fits just right for you.....don't be afraid to shop around!
