September 17, 2010

There is a lot of information to know about dating on the internet to make sure you are safe and use the right practice.  Dating online is just like dating in the real world for that there are precautions you should use whether you meet someone in a bar, gym, grocery store, or online.  There can be many perspectives about dating online whether you are a man or women and even those can vary.  Take the proper steps in dating online as well as in the community and it can be beneficial for you in the long run
1. What’s the first thing people notice when looking for a partner?
There are first impressions that matter to men and women, whether you like to hear that or not.  People are looking to see who the right person for them is.  Men and women want a good looking person who takes care of themselves.  Being human, we are physical creatures and want the person who suits us.  Everyone has different views of what looks good to them but physical features are important. 
2. What shouldn’t a guy do when approaching a lady?
Men shouldn’t use the pathetic cheesy pick up lines and if they work, think about what kind of person who listens to them.  Women prefer sincerity even though it is hard to start a conversation.  Be natural and use hello following by asking her/his name.  A woman doesn’t want to hear, “Do you come here often?”  Men, keep your hands to yourself and talk to her face.  Women who are aggressive are intimidating and can backfire is to what men may think you are looking for.  Try and let the guy feel he is making the move.
3. What improve your chances in meeting a lady?
Be confident without being egotistical.  Women like a confident man and to feel secure but don’t be aggressive and over protective. 
4. How soon after getting her number should I call?
If you are thinking waiting a week then you are going to just lose that opportunity.  If you are interested then call the next day.  It shows you are interested and she knows you enjoyed her company.  I called the next day and we are still together 6 and a half years later married with two daughters.  Waiting is just playing games and if you are interested then don’t lose your opportunity.  Women don’t like games.  Don’t think you look desperate if you call the next day, it shows you want to get to know her. 
5. Is sex on the first date ok?
Having sex on the first date can make the woman look easy to some men.  Also doing this can also lead to one night stands.  Women should always be cautious to make sure they don’t have a player who wants only sex.  And, the guys should think what kind of girl has sex so quickly.  If they sleep with you that fast then they can do that with someone else just as easily.  If you have sex first night then it is lust and not on knowing the person. If you wait then the feeling and emotion is more intense because you know the person.
