Rules To Follow When It Comes To Online Dating
If you are single and looking to meet someone chances are you may have tried to find love on the Internet
. It is a very common way now a days to try and meet someone. There are whole new set of rules when it comes to Internet dating. No doubt, you have been warned about being safe online by not giving out your personal information and not telling too much information about yourself. Therefore, let's look at the other rules that often go unmentioned when venturing out into cyberspace to find love.
For starters, don't let your standards be too high. There's nothing wrong with having expectations, however some people set their expectations entirely too high. Don't sign onto the Internet and think the first person you interact with will be your potential spouse. If you go into online dating with this in mind you are setting yourself up for a bf fall. If the situation does not work out you will be highly disappointed and ready to give up on Internet love. You need to approach the situation as something new and exciting for you to try, look for an opportunity to meet new friends. This will keep you from looking at the experience as a waste of time, when the first person you meet don't blow you out of the water.
Don't be too quick to answer e-mail's you receive. Definitely answer the e-mail; you just do not want to give the appearance that you are desperate. You especially do not want to respond to an e-mail that you receive on a Saturday or Sunday. Wait until at least Monday, so you it doesn't look like you are sitting by the computer all weekend.
Take the time to think of a proper response to the e-mail. The first e-mail that you send back to them will be the first real impression they will have of you. Make your first contact a good impression, with a well thought out email response. Don't give out too much information in that first email. You want to give the impression that you are friendly and that you're interested, however you do not want to tell everything that there is to know about you in one e-mail.
Wait until you are comfortable with the person before exchanging phone numbers. This should take, at least, 3-4 email exchanges and you really should try a service like skype before giving them your phone number. If the other individual is not interested in doing this, then you need to move on. You do not have time to waste on someone who just wants to have a friendly cyber romance. You will never meet anybody to spend your future with if you indulge in cyber romances. If you do decide that you are interested in meeting the individual, just be sure that is something that you really want. You do not want to waste your time or someone else's time when you know that you have no interest in getting to know them further. Make the first meeting place a very safe and public place and make sure you tell someone where and when you will meet up with the date.
Always be truthful with the other person. Often times when people start their quest for love on the Internet, they feel that it is okay to lie and that they can exaggerate facts about themselves. Always be truthful with the other person. You may actually find that you are interested in the person that you have been telling these lies to it when it comes time to meet you cannot back up any of the facts that you provided thus far. This will make for a very embarrassing situation for you and more than likely the other person will not want anything to do with you after discovering your dishonesty. If you send them a picture of yourself, please be sure that this is you or make sure that is not a picture you took 10 years ago when you weighed about 20 pounds less.
All in all Internet dating can be a very fun way to meet new and interesting people. Just be sure that you remember your Internet rules for safety and use common sense. Hopefully you will be on track to meeting the person that you will spend the rest of your life with.
