It’s hard enough being single  for whatever reason , without friends trying to set you up on double dates or drag you along to the nearest speed dating event. Nowadays, with the growth of online dating, it’s much easier to sit at home and chat via computer than meet people face to face in the real world and make that initial contact with them.But to be safe and find the right person in the virtual world is very difficult ,so some tips on online dating are

10) Take time and write a careful online profile

Any relationship can only be successful if there is some honesty in it,so it is very important that the information which anybody provides about themselves on their online profile is true.And we should not pretend to be what we are not as this will eventually lead to demise of the relation as soon as the person comes to know the reality.

9) Give a detailed description of your likes and dislikes

It is very important to provide the entire list of your likes and dislikes to the person whom you are dating online or planing to date, doing this will help you and your partner make a right choice and it will also attract people with similar interests.

8) Update your profile occasionally

Keeping your profile updated is a very good option as people who are interested in you will help them learn more about you before actually approaching you.For example, if you just got back from a great Caribbean holiday where you learned to scuba dive, write about it. There is nothing more boring than reading a generic online dating profile that says “I love to travel and enjoy reading.” So it is always better to mention the details of everything.

7) Describe the person you would like to date

Describing the type of people you would like to date will help save your time and others time and energy as well as this will not give a start to any relation that can not nourish because of your selective choices ,So it is always better to be specific initially rather that regretting things later.

6) Add different photos to your profile

The photo you upload  should be a head shot, preferably with you smiling. If your online dating service allows, upload more shots of you in various activities such as doing a hobby you enjoy, perhaps dressed up at a formal event or even a candid shot at work or school. Refrain from uploading shots that show too much skin or are too sexy because you will attract the wrong types of people. Having a photo on your profile is mandatory because a profile with a photo gets more  replies than one without. If you are unsure if the person you are communicating with is for real, ask them to take a quick digital photo holding that days newspaper. Someone who has nothing to hide, would be more than happy to oblige if they really want to meet you and are for real.

5) Be polite when communicating online

If you are scared to tell someone “no” because it may hurt their feelings, simply tell them politely that you are looking for a certain type of person with specific characteristics and not to take it personally. Say “please” and “thank you.” If someone is rude to you or offends you, simply ignore them and/or block them.Because many a time being rude can simply worsen the situtation and lead to some serious troubles.

4) Listen to your intuition

If something doesn’t feel right to you, it usually isn’t. Either move on or investigate further and proceed with caution. Read, listen, and ask lots of questions. If you think you are dealing with someone who is committed or married, ask for a home phone number and/or consistently call them between the hours of 8p-11p when a commitment person is unable to answer.

3) Do not give your personal details

You have absolutely no idea who is on the other side of the computer. Con artists flock to the internet because it allows them to hide behind phony online profiles. They usually correspond with dozens of people at a time hoping one will bite their hook. Take your time and pretend like you are buying a house by asking questions and researching carefully. Only give out small pieces of information after you have developed a certain level of comfort.This will avoid some unexpected problems and will keep your personal life safe.

2) Always meet in public place for the first time

A good place to meet is for coffee or lunch in a busy place. Make sure you let someone know where you will be and even have them phone you during the date for a safety check or an early escape if needed. Never meet in a bar or drink alcohol the first time you meet. You simply do not know this person well enough to let your guard down that early on. If you are really nervous, take along a friend or meet in a group setting. Make sure you drive yourself.

1) Have fun

he most important part when meeting new people is to relax and have fun. When beginning  be cautious and private, but don’t be overly serious either. A sense of humor online is just as important as offline.
