Dating on the Internet
Posted on July 27th, 2008 in Men/Women - stuff you need to know | No Comments »
Millions of Internet dating services have sprung up over the last decade. Joining an internet dating service is an easy decision to make but have you really thought about it? Unlike traditional dating where you meet someone in your area, you might meet someone whom you really like who is several hundred miles away from you. A long distance relationship is not for most people. If your going to join an internet dating service make sure they have people around your area. Take it slow, exchange email, talk a few times over the phone before agreeing to meet them. It may seem counter intuitive but the profiles on internet dating services that do not portray the individual in glowing terms are probably the more honest profiles. Mr. Fantastic or Miss. Wonderful probably are not so fantastic nor wonderful. You really can’t swear by this as a rule thought, confident people will always talk about themselves in a confident bold manner. But don’t people do that in bars, at church, at work, in any social setting? What I am getting at is it takes time to get to know someone no matter where you meet. Join
DO start a new email address when you plan to join an internet dating site UNLESS the service offers you one free. Starting a new email address will protect your main address from spammers and the only emails in this box will be from potential partners. Be sure to check your spam folder to see if your email service is a little aggressive in its filtering of your mail.
After joining an internet dating service, jump right in. Over time you will find yourself being drawn to just a couple of individuals and this is where you should put your time and effort.
Flirt, ask specific questions, and also put yourself out there as to answering very open questions.
Who knows? You may meet that certain special someone. OR you may just enjoy the social contact and flirting.
Me? I did the online “thing” for just over a year before I met Mr. Wonderful. And yes, he’s not totally perfect, not always wonderful….but mostly, yea, he is. We just took our first cruise together, it was a blast!!! Next, Maui in September this year, 2008. Oh yeah baby………this is too much fun.
Are you ready, willing and able? Join
