How To Meet a Guy Online
Let’s face it! Today’s dating world is completely different than it was in the old 1960’s drive-in movie with stale popcorn and your dad’s convertible. Between working longer and longer hours, after work routines, and family activities, it can be hard to find someone who fits the mold you are looking for. That is where online dating comes into play and meeting a guy online is the newest and best way to do it.
First, let me tell you that it is time to let go of any stigma you might have about dating online. It’s the 21rst century and it’s time for you to climb aboard and enjoy the ride. Plus, meeting someone online can be much safer for you, if done smartly, than traditional dating.
Here is how you can find a guy online and get your first date. It’s fast, it’s easy and you will be surprised how effective it is. Start by realizing that you have to go to a dating site to fill out some very basic and non intrusive information about yourself.
After you have established your own profile:
- Check your profile for any errors. It sounds odd, however, there are many men/women alike who say that a poorly spelled or grammatically incorrect profile is definitely a turn off. 90% of online profiles contain errors, make sure yours does not!
- You also need to make sure that you have a great photo posted with those pearly whites showing. Everybody loves a good smile and profiles that do not have a picture are usually ignored.
- Don’t be shy. The internet is taking away that first awkward introduction. You can forget about the communication barriers that have held you back before and let people know who you really are. In other words, BE OPEN and BE HONEST.
After you have your profile:
- Make sure that you have a great attitude towards those who try to meet you, as well as those you try to meet. You will have more fun and you’ll meet more people by showing the great attitude that you have. Besides, nobody likes a bore.
- You also need to make sure that you are ready for this type of fun. Meeting someone online is definitely an easy way for you to find someone who shares your same likes/dislikes in many areas. Be prepared and open to meet someone.
- Like they say, "Good things come to those who wait." Don’t expect to find “The one and only” right away. Get to know people and go on some fun dates. The more experience you have with meeting people online, the more you will understand what works for you.
- Make yourself a goal to date 100 men. With this goal (which is easy to meet in a year) you avoid setting yourself up for failure and increase the chance of meeting Mr. Right and not just a Mr. Right Now.
Make first contact:
- When you go to search for men, keep your initial search to your town only (you can always increase it later) Try and introduce yourself to at least 5-10 new men per week. Once you have exhausted options in your town you can increase the radius of your search.
- After you have found 5-10 men in your area, you can then try to contact them. Send them and e mail, send them an instant message, send them whatever! The point here, is to make contact.
- Make a personal email template that you send out to the men you chose. Honestly, it’s not to hard. Just write up a quick intro email, cut and copy it, then save it to your desktop. This email will help you to save a lot of time when introducing yourself to every guy you might be interested in.
- As soon as you get a response, you need to be on the ball and respond back. Men love women who show that they are interested. Don’t respond within the first five minutes (you are not desperate, and if you are, you don’t want them to know that) but respond back within a day or two. Ensure that your reply is at least three paragraphs long!
- When you do find someone that you share a great interest in, make sure to set up a phone call and then a date. Do not even think about an online relationship until at least three dates. Plan to set something up and go on that DATE! Remember to be you and to have fun.
