Internet Dating Advice - Taking the Techno Plunge

Are you looking for some serious internet dating advice? Is this an avenue you've been reluctant to try, but you think it's about time you entered the twenty first century? Is it more intimidating that you'd expected and you don't know where to start and you hope some internet dating advice will help?

Any dating service can be daunting at first. You can't help but wonder what kind of creeps you'll meet out there. Here is some internet dating advice that will keep you safe and to get you on the right path to finding your true mate.

The Right Service for You

There are a variety of dating services out there and you'll best be served by the one that suits you and your personality. Some sites are geared to extraordinarily beautiful women looking for wealthy men, while others are aimed at heavyset women who are looking for the love of a good man. Know yourself and the service you need.

Know Who You Are

Don't go on a dating service with the intention of lying. Sure, you can say whatever you want and the guy won't know... for now. But if he sees you and is expecting a five foot ten stunner and you're a five foot two cutie pie, he might not be amused.

And when it comes to your lifestyle, don't claim to be into sports or arts or culture if you're not. It'll only be a waste of your time. Every bit of internet dating advice you find out there will tell you to be as honest as you can.

Effective Dates

Any good internet dating advice has to tell you that there's only so much you can learn from reading his profile and chatting with him. Don't waste too much time before setting up a meeting. Once you see that he's what you're looking for, set up a date. No matter how good things look on paper (or the computer screen) there's nothing like a face to face meeting to really clue you into who he is.

You'll generally know within the first ten minutes (often considerably less) if this is the guy for you or not. Perhaps it's something unpleasant in the way he looks at you, or it's in the haughty manner he speaks to you. This is the time to discover what the computer couldn't tell you.

This said, beware of guys who are too quick (on the first or second contact) to set up a meeting.

Safe Dates

A friend of mine had found a guy on the internet. He was really cute, had an impressive job and lived in a nice part of town. She'd chatted with him a bit and he'd quickly asked to meet up with her. She was excited (read desperate) about meeting him and accepted. He'd asked her to meet him at a doughnut shop down the street from his place.

Okay, not a big wow date, but still a cup of coffee is a respectable first and safe meeting ground. But when she contacted him the day of the date, he felt tired and asked if she would mind going to his place.

NO!!!!! When she told me this my first reaction was "Are you nuts?" Not only is it completely unacceptable for a guy to ask you to meet him at his place on the first date (I mean really, he can't bother getting dressed and going out?) but it is a dangerous situation to put yourself in.

The best internet dating advice is to always think of being safe first.
