When you meet someone on an online
dating site, be prepared for the unexpected. Many people have unrealistic
expectations regarding the type of person they wish to meet and sometimes wind
up with someone completely different.
While searching for an ideal mate, there
are no guarantees that you will find your prince charming or sleeping beauty. Following
are some straightforward tips to help make your search for romance more rewarding.
Try to describe what qualities,
attributes or characteristics you are seeking in an individual, and be specific
in describing the kind of person you are interested in meeting. Include your
specific preferences, values and goals and never settle for less or comprise
your integrity.
Mention what type of
relationship you are interested in, and be frank. Are you seeking a long or
short-term relationship, a marriage-minded person, a lifetime significant other,
friend or an activity partner? If you are just looking for a friend with benefits,
say so. In other words, do not waste yours or the other person’s time.
Be honest and as brief or
detailed as you wish about yourself. Remember the type of responses you receive
may depend on the quality of information you provide in your profile.
Highlight more hidden
attributes than physical features when you describe yourself. Accentuate such
qualities as considerate, sensitive, compassionate, patient, confident,
serious, open-minded, reasonable, and caring.
If your last relationship
ended on a sour note, do not rush into another liaison. Do not be caught up in
the moment and allow desire to surpass common sense. Give yourself time to
figure out what went wrong before attempting your hand at romance again.
Take the time to do a thorough background check before
committing yourself to anyone. Get to know that person before you become
emotionally and physically involved. Forming a relationship is easy.
Maintaining one is hard work but getting out of a relationship built on dishonesty
can be devastating.
