What is your top ten list of do's and don'ts in the on line dating world?Which dating website is the best? What would be your advice to someone who wants to wants to use one?
I used to use www.plentyoffish.com. It's a free dating website and has a great search option.





1) Don't rush out to meet the first person who responds


2) Talk to someone online often before phone / meeting


3) Send out lots of first response emails - dont wait for them to email you


4) Make sure your photos are current


5) If you think something sounds out of place when talking to someone, stick with your instincts and quit talking to that person


6) When meeting for the first time, meet in a public place for something quick like coffee - that way if there isn't a connection, you are not locked into a full evening


7) Don't give out to much personal information


8) Date several people before making a decision


9) Make sure your profile is well written, no misspellings, lists your interests and what you are looking for


10) Have fun!Which dating website is the best? What would be your advice to someone who wants to wants to use one?

You know what I think, I think you shouldn't even go to a dating web site! Dating Websites are a waste of time, let's not forget money. Realistically, who whants to pay for finding true love? I mean isn't it supposed to come to us naturally? As I remeber, ';Be patient and God will send you that special one in time';, Mom(A wise woman once said). Granted it's not explained how, the best way is to meet personally, in my opinion. Just seeing the commercials make me upset as if there isn't any other way of finding a mate. Never-the-less having to pay to be apart of a program that doesn't guarantee your happiness. Go out, mingle, that's the best way. If you can get someone who is okay with dating and not seeing you then, so be it. However, when it comes time to actually meet and they aren't what you expected them to be/ as they were percieved, you have no other choice but to accept them flaws and all because you got to know them for who they are and even if they aren't all that physically or facially, you can't get upset let alone drop them when you see what you don't like because then that would be unfair! Take it from someone who used to do online conversing for fun, lol. But the only commercial that looks most convinicng to make me wanna give it a shot is E Harmony.... If online dating is for you, go for it. But hey, it's an experiment, have fun with it %26amp; Be Careful!!!
It sounds horrible, but avoid Russians and Africans, especially Nigerians. Nigeria is one of the cyber crime captials of the world - I have gotten so many phony come ons from there. Once I got contacted by a woman who claimed to be a surgeon in Nigeria. I'll bet that you can count on one hand the number of female surgeons in Nigeria; the culture is very patriarchal and most families can't afford to send women to a university. So I asked her how many cases of osteomyelitis she had operated on. That shut her up right away. Another one claimed to be an African fashion model. Most people in Africa live on $2 a day. A magazine like Vogue or Cosmo couldn't exist in most of the continent. Hell, Africa probably can't even support a photography industry, let alone a modeling industry.


A Russian wrote to me 3 times and then said ';Please send $1600 right away because I almost fell down.'; I told her to look for someone richer.


One of the advantages to internet dating is that it's very cheap, and you can do it at home (no hanging out in bars for weeks at a time hoping to find someone). You can screen people as much as you like. A site like e-harmony gives every member a long psychological test and then matches you with people according to the test results. (They refused to give me membership as they said they couldn't match me with anyone.)


As with any dating, when you finally agree to meet someone, do it in a public place, and watch your credit card closely. Beware of long sad stories that require cash to fix. Match.com is a nice site; they have bulletin boards where you can join ongoing conversations.
Uhhhh...DON';T!





In all honesty, my cousin joined a dating site to get back at her husband. She found a guy that was not only gawd ugly, but a total jerk. She left her husband and uprooted her kids for this guy. Not only does this guy have a record, but he's a drug dealer on the side. Now she's hooked on drugs and alcohol, while he lives off her child support and slaps her kids around. Even the most fool-proof websites aren't really fool-proof.
I haven't actually tried online dating despite how simple it would be for a minor to do because the likely aftershocks are not worth it.Apparently E-harmony is good as long as you ain't a homo.they don't like homos.apparently a decent size of people were rejected from e-harmony for unknown reasons though.reportedly because the matching system doesn't suit them or something.Also E-harmony doesn't let you browse profiles.It gives you a list of ones that match your criteria for you to choose from.Also Always carry protection when first meeting someone you know online.even if you're a dude.I would reccomend mace or a handgun if you own one.make sure its concealable and comfortable though.Sorry about your cousin anarchy, but revenge plots don't usually work.especially when they are about a relationship.You lose even more judgement than normal revenge.And I am a firm believe ending it even
