Pros Cons of Online Dating

When it comes to online dating etiquette there are a few things you need to keep in mind so that all parties concerned can have a respectful interaction. When it comes time to communicate such using e-mails, you will often find that people can be fickle.

Basically out of every e-mail you send expect about a twenty percent response rate. If you make a commitment to communicate with someone at a given time then make sure you honor that commitment.

1/ It is ok to e-mail with multiple contacts, however when in direct communication with somebody via instant messenger then it is more respectful to communicate with just them rather than communicating with multiple people at the same time.

2/ It is ok not to respond back to e-mails if you do not want to however if you do make a commitment, follow through and if it is not to your liking then politely make the point of saying that you no longer wish to communicate.

3/ In your communications do not be insulting, we are human beings after all and we all have feelings, there is no reason to be rude and obnoxious. Treat each other as if you were communicating face to face.

4/ When dating online there is nothing wrong with meeting several people casually to find your perfect mate, with that said when you do meet with someone you like do not leave your profile up as if you are still looking.

This is not fair to the other person and furthermore if they see that your profile is still live then they may think that you’re not that interested or worse still think that you are scamming them.

When you take your profile off line you do not have to delete it, you can save it and post it again later if things do not work out.

5/ Do not post pictures on your profile that are old, post your most recent photo. It is not fair to deceive others just to get what you want. One way to look at it is this, treat others how you want to be treated.

When it comes to dating online it is important to understand that many people can very easily create false identities.

Obviously if someone is intent on setting up a false identity then it is safe to say that their objective is to take advantage of others, otherwise why would they do it?

The main objective of any scammer both online and offline is to build trust between themselves and the victim and once that trust has been established they then take advantage.

When you are dating online it may be wise to do an online dating background check. There are many ways you can do this by accessing public records. When involved in online communication do not be afraid to ask questions.

Once you receive the answers, then when it comes time to go to the next level you could do some research to see if everything matches up. Any scammer is going to create a web of deceit but if they first can convince you that they are trustworthy they are then banking on the fact that you will not question them.

If somebody has nothing to hide then they have nothing to fear and that is the way you ought to approach it. The last thing you want to do is delay this process or worse still find out by accident or by experience that this person was all the time taking you for a ride.

If you find this out later then it will be too late, your heart will be broken and the emotional pain will be significant. So to avoid this ask questions, measure the answers and then check if everything ads up. Sure it may be painful to find out that someone you are growing fond of is a fraud, but in the end you will be better off.

As you know the name of this blog is worst online dating and the objective is discuss things that you should not do when it comes to internet dating, in other words the worse things you can do, but with that said its not all going to be negative.

As I am sure you are aware when you go to internet dating websites you’re really not going to see negative stories relative to peoples experience using that website, instead what you will see are the positive testimonials. Now I am not suggesting that these testimonials are false all I am saying is that you more than likely will not see negative testimonials.

The people you need to be concerned about when it comes to internet dating are those who are out to scam you. They are worst of the worst as they prey on people’s emotions.

The first thing you can do when you see a profile is check the name and Google search it to see if that same name appears on multiple sites at the same time or if there is any negative association relative to it.

This is also the case with the e-mails you get from people interested in you, search the title of the e-mail and see if it has come from somewhere before, or you may find a story of someone who was victimized using these types of e-mails.

Furthermore when you start communication if you are immediately asked for your e-mail address, do not give it out and proceed with caution. The point is this; do not give out any personal information immediately. Take your time!

In addition to this you can also set up a special e-mail address just for your dating correspondence.

You can opt for blind mailing or double blind mailing with only your first name. Use this correspondence until you feel more comfortable with whom you are connecting with. Remember to take your time, patience is of the essence.

One of the typical scams against men is those women who are running an international ad. The goal is to draw you in, get your defenses down and then start requesting some money. Again their goal is to play on your emotion, that is the name of the game in every avenue of online scams. So be aware of this fact.

There is also the question of whether the individual whom you are corresponding with is married or not, if there is no picture posted this can be a telltale sign, that along with erratic communication, vagueness and generalities can be telling.

In conclusion, take you time and you will better enjoy your online dating experience.

These are basically snippets of information where you present yourself. Like any other ad the motive is to create interest. You want those who are viewing your ad to seek out more information.

That is not to say that your online personal add should be over the top and as mentioned previously, you do not want it to contain misrepresenting images of you - nor do you want to tell lies.

When it comes to creating your ad think headline, this is the first piece of information that represents your ad and this is what most people read before they read any further. In actual fact if you have a poor headline then they will not read any further.

Look at the headline on this post, pretty boring right? So what if you changed it to, “How to create the “wow” Factor in your personal profile in 3 simple steps”

In terms of the headline it should be brief, relevant and provocative. Brief in that you don’t want to over do it, relevant in terms of details that make sense and provocative speaks for itself.

Nobody is really interested in boring people, sure we may sympathize but it does not drive interest.

There is no question that photos help and generate more responses, I know there is a superficial element to this, however, your main goal is to get responses so as give you more choices to find your soul mate.

In terms of the ad, do not use long sentences with long paragraphs, break it up and use sub headlines this will keep your reader engaged and in a better position to find out what interests them about you.

The more pleasant your ad is on the eye the more responses you will get. In actual fact now that I think of it I should use the word profile, or online profile rather than ad.

Of course last for not least, many would tell you, “to simply be yourself” and that’s fair enough, but just make sure that your profile is easy to read and easy to navigate and just like bland food, a little spice never does any harm.

On this blog we are going to talk over the positive and negative aspects of online dating. Dating has not really changed over the years, it is merely the medium by which we communicate that has evolved and to that end it is in one sense more convenient to seek out a soul mate, however with that said one has to proceed with caution.

Let’s talk briefly about some of the worse things you can do when dating online and we will drill down further in the coming posts.

So what are the worse things you can do when it comes to online dating? First and foremost never give out personal information from the get go, instead use the communication tools which the site provides.

Secondly don’t lie on your profile, the fact is this, if someone in not interested in the real you, then why should you waste each others time.

Thirdly do not be impatient, take your time, feel things out and if it does not feel right then don’t move on it.

Once you have communicated online for a period of time get beyond cyber communication and go on a real date. Always meet in a public place and don’t be afraid to meet casually with a friend present just to feel things out.

If the other person really cares then it will not be a problem. Everyone’s security and comfort is of the utmost importance.

This is seems obvious but trust me it happens, do not post a picture of yourself from years ago, this is false advertising and will only get you in trouble.

On the next post we will continue to discuss this and will also start to brush on the positives.
