Secrets to Online Dating for Men

Filed under Dating

People have really warmed to the idea of online dating because it simply works.  Some websites are better than others and many cater to specific dating requirements.  While men have no problem meeting women they’ve met online, women are just the opposite.  They heard about all the negative things that can happen and that influences there decision.  Should they be concerned.  Doesn’t matter…they are.

So what does a nice guy do?  You’re just a good guy looking for a great woman and you’re serious.

Well, patience goes a long way.  You can be aggressive and push for personal information right away.  You have to first prove that your intentions are genuine.  Don’t rush her into meeting you in person. The obvious first impression is that you seem desperate.  Establish some dialogue.  Interject some humor.  Gradually, she’ll open up more and more and a meeting will be the ultimate and the desired result.  So again, be patient.  I know, it’s not easy.  Especially when you’re serious about meeting the right woman.

First things first.  Be honest with her about your looks and what you do for a living.  Anything less will result in disaster.  Being deceitful is the last thing you want to be in a budding relationship.

The next thing you can do is to post numerous pictures of yourself in a number of different situations.  With friends, parents, kids, gardening, your pets.  You get the idea.  Also remember to get some full body shots so she can see what you look like.  Then she’ll know what the total package looks like in advance.  You want to give her pictures like the  kind you want to get from her.

When you’ve done your job and proven yourself, and her to you, you’re likely to be at the right place to ask for a meeting.  For her comfort, suggest to meeting a comfortable public meeting place during the day.  Go to a coffee shop or a restaurant.  Keep the conversation light.  Talk about family, pets, your jobs, past places you’ve lived.  Ask questions and listen, listen, listen.  Women appreciate a guy that listens.  Charm her with your sense of humor.  Humor is one of the favorite things women like about a man.  Most of all be yourself and you can’t miss.

Finally, if you say you’re going to contact her, do it.  If you think she isn’t a fit, don’t tell her you’ll call her and then stand her up.  It’s rude and frankly, like anything in life, you do to others like you want done to you.

One of the keys to online dating is finding a true quality dating site.  There are hundreds out there and many don’t provide a good screening system so you can find the right person faster.  Make sure you take the time to fill out your information correctly and accurately so when she evaluates you, the same applies.
