well…if you 20+….call me..ok..=)

First and foremost, whenever you meet anyone on line, use wisdom. Do NOT reveal your full name or any other identifiable personal information (phone number/address/etc.) in the early stages of any relationship.

Second, repeat after me: All dating websites are not created equal. Different websites tend to attract different crowds. Are you twenty-something and looking for someone in your own age bracket? Perhaps you’re interested in dating someone over six feet tall or someone who is significantly older than you. There is a plethora of dating sites that cater to specific interests: religious sites, political party affiliation sites… there are even Internet dating sites specifically for pet owners! Keep these ideas in mind when choosing where you’ll place your profile. It’s the 21st century — your options are virtually endless!

Speaking of profiles, make sure yours is a good one. A good, strong profile will highlight the best you have to offer so take some time to make sure it is well written and interesting. Another VERY important thing to remember is to post a flattering photo of yourself. This is not the time to post that photo of you and what’s-his-name before you broke up. Nor is this the occasion to whip out that sexy, glamour boudoir picture you had taken a couple of years ago. So what will a good guy notice? Sure, men do notice our physiques but nearly as important are an engaging smile, self-confidence, and a great sense of humor. Being honest about who you are and the type of person you’re looking for will take you a long way in the world of online dating — after all, you want your potential mate to be attracted to you, not some fake character you’ve pretended to be for the purpose of creating a dating profile. Poor spelling and a negative attitude will rarely get a second glance from your potential Prince Charming.
