Internet Dating - Maybe or No Way? – For Men
1) Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Mam or Happily-Ever-After?
Be clear about your intentions online. If you are seeking a casual encounter, say it! There are more than enough people interested in the same thing. Knowing that you only want a casual relationship, whilst saying that you are ‘very much interested in finding a soulmate’ only leads to hurt and disappointment. Think about the feelings of others.
2) Don’t Create Disappointments!
Hmmm…now can one picture really show your potential mate what you look like? Maybe there is one picture that you know always attracts the hottest people, but give your potential mate the opportunity to see you at different events, to get a real idea of your personality. A clear picture of your face, as well as a full-sized picture, helps people to decide if you are the type of man they would like to get to know a little bit more. You do yourself no favours, if you display pictures that show you 5 years younger, when you had a six-pack. When you go on a date, you want to feel at peace knowing they know exactly what you look like – and that you are the height and age that you told them :)
3) I’m Sure You Told Me Your Name Was…?
It’s expected that you (and your date) will have been getting to know other people. Do make sure though, that you get your date’s name right. Nothing worse than calling Sally, Rachael or Bob, Steven.
