Online Dating is the modern way to
meet people and expand your horizons. It s the equivalent of the Social
in years gone by and those years have gone by and reside only in the memories
of those who have lived more than a few years on this earth.
The Worse Alternatives
Are you tired of friends and relatives
(your mother) fixing you up with dates with people that you have
absolutely nothing in common with? Or how about blind dates ? Is there
anything worse than that?
Well maybe.
How about meeting the losers in bars?
That s even worse! So now, you are ready to take matters into your own hands
and move up to Online Dating.
But how do YOU start?
Online Dating: The Basics
The first thing to do is to find and
Online Dating service and there are so many to choose from.
You need to find one that meets your
needs. There are the general ones where you just post a profile and picture and
hope for the best.
There are the specialized ones that
are for single women, single men, Jewish men and women, gays, even outdoor
enthusiasts. There is one for almost any specificity you can think of. So choose
wisely.
The next thing you need to do is write
a profile. (More on this will be discussed in the later parts of this guide.)
You answer all the obvious, general
questions such as:
- Sex,
- Age,
- The general vicinity where you live,
But you need to go a lot further. Your
profile needs to fresh and funny. Make it stand out in the crowd. You need to
post a picture of yourself. Again, most of these will be covered in the later
parts of this guide.
Warning! Don t post any photos of
yourself that is about 10 years old!
Post the most flattering one you have
that shows you as you really are. Then you need to work hard at contacting
others that seem interesting and replying to those who contact you.
