Navigating The Maze Singles Dating Websites
Men and women are very different creatures, but not when it comes to love. From the moment you are born, you need love. And you never stop searching for it. When you were on the playground in elementary school you either had your hair pulled by the little boy who called you gross but secretly wanted to kiss you, or you were that boy pulling the hair. In high school you walked home that special girl every day, or you were the girl cheering on the star football player even when there wasn’t a game on. But, as an adult you find the day to day minutiae has gotten in the way of meeting a decent man or woman and you need to turn to your computer to meet singles online. There is no judgment in that as most recent studies link one out of every three relationships beginning with an online date.
As with any person looking for a date online, you may find that you think it is easier to either withhold certain information or even make some things seem bigger or better than what they really are like your height, weight, income, marriage history or children. However small you may think the dishonesty, you will have a hard time meeting people in person as you will need to keep up with the untruth you may have told. This will have a direct correlation on the success you have in using any singles dating websites. You must be honest with the people you encounter, even if you are sitting behind a computer monitor, and you have to expect the same from them.
When starting a profile through an online dating site, you need to think about what you want out of a relationship and make it very transparent. Put right on the front page of your personal summary whether you want friendship, casual dating, or a real lifelong committed connection with someone and don’t waiver. The sooner someone knows what you want; they know what they are willing to give. And of course friendships or even a very casual relationship can turn in to something more if you want them to, but if that is where you feel you want to start out socially, then that is the message you need to make sure is presented in plain sight of others. Remember that honesty is the best policy, even with perfect strangers, but especially if you don’t want them to be strangers.
Finding a meaningful and loving relationship that will last for life is what you were born to do, but it is much easier said than done. Sifting through hundreds, if not thousands, of profiles does not sound like the most fun way to meet people, but better than going on several or even dozens of bad dates and not getting any results. Choosing people in an online forum is not all about looks like being in a physical proximity to someone and asking them out. You can actually learn about them from what they put up for you to see. The possibilities are endless with a singles dating website. You just have to take that first leap.
