Dating Tips

I have a few tips I live by:

First are the WARNING SIGNS - think only once about NOT pursuing this person

• Your potential date refuses to speak to you on the phone after you have established an online relationship.


• She or he will only speak on a strangely specific time frame. They only talk between noon and 1PM
• She or he will not answer any direct questions about themselves. They will either give you a vague answer or will simply turn the question back to you.


• She or he will only provide photos of large groups of people, making it impossible for you to find them.


• They give inconsistent information. One day they are 20 and the next they are 32.


• The most important one is - NEVER GO AGAINST YOUR GUT
  

BEST PLACES/TIMES TO MEET

• Daylight is always the best


• Meet for something simple (coffee/tea/icecream or bookstore) this way if you potentially like your date, you can invite them to continue the date at lunch. BUT if you don’t- you had a nice cup of java and can end the date there.


• I personally like meeting over activities (bowling, miniature golf) that way you at least enjoy the activity even if your don’t enjoy the person. Some would advice against this because you may not be able to gage the person correctly.


• And remember NEVER go against you gut. If something does not feel right leave. Who cares if you are wrong…its better to be safe than sorry.
  

CREATING AN ONLINE PROFILE

• Be Honest in Your Profile (body type and age)


• Use Quality Photos- DON’T post four different photos from four different stages in your life. It MUST BE CURRENT!!! They going to find out what you look like when you meet, and there is no reason to lie about your looks.


• Put a Limit on How Much Time You Spend Daily on the Site.
• Don’t list your dislikes about Internet dating. Emphasize your positive points, not your negative ones.
• Take it Slow.
• Don’t be so self-absorbed; saying, “I want a man to be this and that” “I want a man to do that” or “I want a women to cherish me”
• Don’t list all your “I wants” without listing what YOU will bring to the relationship.


• Don’t list your financial desires. Nobody wants to take care of another grown person.
• No baby talk! or baby momma/daddy drama talk
  
• A Final Thought: Be Cautious
