Online Dating Tips for Newbies
Online Dating Tips for Newbies was written by Charles Cuninghame and he writes "These days the one of the best places to meet other lovelorn horn-balls is on dating websites. That's because people who place and respond to ads on these sites are serious about dating and less likely to be time wasters.
But like any dating scene there are certain tips and tricks that will make it easier for you to score. Take note of the following guidelines and you'll be well on the way to breaking that cursed sex drought:
Be pro-active
Rather than just waiting for people to respond to your ad, you'll speed up the process if you reply to others' ads. Use the search engines to find someone who tickles your fancy and send them an email. Make sure you read their ad carefully. If they're looking for a stroll down the aisle and you're looking for a roll in the hay, then don't waste their time or yours. There's plenty more singles out there..
Use a Web mail account
For your own peace of mind don't use an email account that can be traced back to you - especially not a work email address! You never know - your new friend might be a stalker! Use a Web mail account such as HotMail (http://www.hotmail.com) or Start (http://www.start.com.au/).
Be honest!
Don’t oversell yourself and don't undersell yourself - just tell it like it is. This vastly increases your chances of meeting someone compatible. Tell them a bit about yourself, name, age, type of work, interests and hobbies. List as many of your interests as possible, but don't go into too much detail. You want to give enough information so that they can find some common ground, but not too much so that you bore them.
Don't rush it
You don’t have to unburden yourself of all your relationship baggage and issues in the first email. Wait until you get to know them a little better. Ditto dirty talk. Once you've exchanged a few emails then you might drop in some subtle sexual innuendo if it feels right.
You can be up-front
It's much easier to be bare your soul with someone via email than face to face. So take advantage of this and say what you really want. If you're after some occasional nookie with no strings, just say so. Likewise if you're looking for just a penpal, or to shack up and start working on a family.
Don't get your hopes up
If things go well, sooner or later you'll want to meet your new email pal. Don't get your hopes up too high - sometimes people who get on fabulously via email hate each other when they meet in real life (and vice versa).
