Tip #10 Online Dating Tips
Online dating is a mainstream practice to meet that special someone. The online websites have people of all ages. A recent study by the Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences stated that one-third of marriages in the United States began with online dating. Of those that did not meet on-line: 22% met at work, 19% met through friends, 9% met at a bar or club and 4% met at church. Well, girls with those stats, I say, try it! I have done on-line dating for several years. My philosophy is, if you are not “out” there, you have no hope of meeting someone special.
My on-line dating tips for today:
- Some men want a pen pal. They go on and on with emails. So many times, I would run out of “cute” things to say or ask. Enough! It is my advice to email back and forth several times and then set up a phone conversation. If you are still interested after the phone call, arrange to meet for coffee or a drink. Do not spend a lot of time or energy with emails. Cut to the chase and if he is not right for you. Next! I often wondered about several men that wanted pen pals: maybe they were married or incarcerated?
- Be very suspicious of anyone that calls you “honey” or “sweetie” all the time. The chances are pretty great, that they are dating quite a few women. By using these endearing terms, will not make the mistake of calling you or the other women the wrong name.
- If you attempt online dating, spend some quiet time to analyze what is you are looking for in a man. You will have many, many men contact you, but, if you are not sure what you want, you are wasting their time and yours. Be selective in your choices.
