| When
you are new to cyber dating, the whole process can be quite nerve
wracking, and like anything, to be good at it takes practice.
Here are some general
pointers on how you should approach the whole business:
- Always remain polite
(see our etiquette or "netiquette" section)
- Don't expect to find "Mr or Mrs Right" straight away
just because there are millions of people out there who are "connected".
If you are finding it difficult to communicate in real life, then
you may find it an uphill battle on the web as well. It is however
easier to make the first move on the web - what have you got to
lose!
- Stick with a reputable website / agency, where you know you won't
be ripped off. If the site / agency lists a street address, then
that is a start. A multi million dollar backed site like adult friend
finder is a good bet to start with.
- Be honest when dealing with people. It is easy to exaggerate your
looks / achievements / job etc when online, however you will be
found out for sure once you meet. Be genuine!
- Set up an email account specifically for the purpose of cyber
dating. That way you won't be interrupted at work or have your main
email account spammed like crazy.
- Be truthful in your profile (see our profile creation section).
Send a nice photo of yourself - be warned though - depending on
what you want out of the whole experience, you have had better be
careful on what is being photographed! Friendly face shots and a
full length shot is a good start.
- Once you have developed
a rapport, know that they are in the same area, and think it could
go further, arrange to set up a real date - you need to "close
the deal" as sales people (unfortunately) say.
- Communicate effectively - keep questions general, open, and available
for ongoing dialogue. Don't reply to emails with one liners - it
shows lack of care and thought.
- Take care - when meeting someone for the first time, arrange to
meet somewhere public, and preferably with friends around - a party
is ideal.
- If you want to avoid it entirely and just head to a softcore big
boobies site instead, visit this
site to get an eyefull!
