Tips on Internet Dating?
Meet face to face as soon as possible...





- the more you leave to your imagination...the greater the disappoinment.





- meet in a public place in the day time and go from there.





My experience has been that the woman is different than what I pictured...or different from her picture itself.





"Trying to quit" equates to smoking fiend.





"No drug problems" equates to habitual drug user





"Social drinker" equates to alcoholic social retard.





"average build" equates to "HUGE" with eating disorder.





"spontaneous" equates to Impulsive with Borderline Personality Disorder





"Likes Candles" - Psychotic danger





"What you see is what you get" means...


what you don't see is also what you get.








hehe





all that aside...meet as soon as possible...so you know what you get and you haven't divested nor invested yourself emotionally.





Good luck

Reply:Hi, first advice (from personal experience):NO HUMOUR at the beginning of the chat on line, humour is not "computer compatible", despite smileys and emoticons.


Second: don't chat too long on line, otherwise you will loose yourself in a virtual and artificial relationship. Go and have a drink in real life rather soon (after one week of chats sounds good)


Third : don't be imprudent, never accept a date in a private place, always get a ground phone number and check it before the appointment.


Fourth : when you find at last someone nice, and start sth nice with him, don't use the dating website again, and resist the temptation to check "whether there wouldn't be a nicer guy out there..." Go back to the website ONE WEEK alt least after you end the story with the nice guy, if the story ends, which is not compulsory! Good luck
Reply:becareful about what they tell you and don't just go by pictures they send saying its them when you talk get them to put cam on ...if they are not who they say they are you will get cam is broke or i don't have one .....once you found someone you like talk on net,phone and txt before you meet ...then do it during the day somewhere where you will feel safe and make sure you let friends or family know where you are going and roughly what time you will be home ... think of it as abit like a blind date ... good luck and have fun (am seeing a guy i met on loopylove)

Reply:Be careful, be unfront about what you want, dont be afraid to be very specific about what you dont, keep a sense of humour. Bear in mind that about 80% of what you're being told will be absolute crap. Sometimes good to push for early telecon to get the measure of someone and sort out time wasters early on. Dont give out your number, always call them and withhold number. If you cant speak to that person on the phone, you're never going to stand a chance of speaking to them in a bar, so give up immediately. Try and bear in mind the fundamental question - if I met this person in a bar/at a party/etc would I bother talking to them, if the answer is no, move on.





Sorry to be brutal - but I found my love on the internet - we've been together 5yrs (last week) so believe me when I say internet dating can work, but also understand that 99.09% of people you talk to will be misfits, weirdoes or psychos.... I went was lucky enough to find a combination of the three!





Good Luck
Reply:if you decide to put your profile on a dating site, be totally honest about what you're looking for!





If you aint interested in one night stands, put it on there!





A load of people on these sites are only looking for casual sex and spoil it for the genuine folk!

The advice I have to give you is go slow, it may feel that you know somebody because you have spent 100s of hours online together, but that isn't the case. People have time on line to formulate false impressions
Reply:Don't do it.
Reply:Sack internet dating its full of weirdos...try and meet someone for real!
Reply:Meet the guy /girl in a public place during day time with lots of people around.
Reply:just be extra cautious there might be some people that have good intentions with regards to internet dating but there are some perverts too so just take your time dont believe in beautiful pictures rightaway cause it might not true
