Making Online Dating Work

By Hak Ty

Online dating may be something very easy to get into because all you need is a computer and an Internet connection but if you want it to work for you, well, that's when things become difficult.

Choose The Online Dating Site Carefully - there are naturally hundreds of online dating sites that you could try out but which one is really the best online dating site for you? Sites that come with a price are usually better since they can assure you of better service, more online dating options but what if you're cash strapped?

How can you determine which sites aren't offering empty promises? If you find yourself in this dilemma, always make steps to search for information. Check out third party reviews on the Internet that discusses and rates online dating websites.

Secondly, try asking out friends and colleagues if they have any site they'd love to recommend. You can also try it out for a day and see what type of people these sites are populated with. If most of the people seem to be crude then surely it's not the online dating site for you.

Consistency and Communication Matters - Maintaining an online dating relationship with someone is similar to what a person has to go through with a long distance relationship. You have to be consistent with your efforts.

Since this is an "online thing", make sure that you reply to each and every email or instant message your dating partner sends you. If it's hard for you to correspond in a regular manner then don't expect your online dating experience to be a bed of roses all the time.

Honesty Is Still The Best Policy - Because this is online dating and is done through computers, it's very easy for people to give in to temptation and color the truth a bit. A 26 year old man suddenly becomes 18 and a college student. Someone with thinning hair describes himself as someone with more hair than Rapunzel.

These lies may give you satisfaction at the start but do consider the consequences. What if it's time to meet up with your dating partner?

How then would you explain your big belly when you told him you're more fit than Arnold Schwarzenneger or the fact that you're just an underpaid sales employee when you explicitly told the other person you're a hotel magnate? Even if seems so easy to lie about the little things, it's always better to stick with the truth. Published by Pregnancy Symptoms

Online Dating - The 'Don't Bother' Factor

By Scot McKay

The title of this post references the sick joke women in particular play on themselves in more online dating profiles than I care to count.

An example of such a gem would be:

"If you don't recognize which movie [some obscure line] is from, don't bother."

Seriously...who mortgages her entire future happiness with a guy on familiarity with some quote from a movie which nobody saw other than her?

I have not the words.

But never mind that. This is about something completely different but mildly reminiscent.

Tonight I was working on outgoing first e-mails to women with a guy who put me to work for him on an Online Dating Success Package. Every once in a while during the course of such a session a profile surfaces that almost makes me desirous of "coming out of retirement" just to send this ONE e-mail. JUST THIS ONCE.

And earlier this evening, just such a moment occurred.

The closing statement of a certain woman's profile read as follows:

"My philosophy on life can be summarized quite succinctly ... I think Churchill said it best ... major brownie points to be given for anyone that is familiar with this quote."

...And of course, she leaves us to ponder the question.

My answer to this woman would have been to me an obvious one.

[Subject: Re: Winston Churchill, Brownies, Etc.]

Woman: "Mr. Churchill, were you my husband I'd poison your tea."

Churchill: "Madame, were I your husband I'd gladly drink it."

So tell me, I hit the nail on the head there...didn't I? LOL!

Be Good,

Scot

Emily agreed that e-mail would be irresistible. It demands a response from anyone with a sense of humor. Let's face it, I can hardly resist sending it!

Be brave guys...everyone else is pouring the "nice guy" e-mails into her inbox.
