A Tip For Men Involved in Online Dating: Be Totally Honest.

Filed under: General, Tips For Men, dating profile, dating tips, personal ad — Simeon @ 10:35 am

You are a man. You are looking for a girl or a women that you can like, a woman that you can even come to love and live with.  Obviously, you are looking for a girl or woman who also is looking for a guy that she can like or even love.
You have joined an online dating service and you hope to find the girl of your dreams.
In order to identify the right girl for you…and you know for sure that she is out there, somewhere…you have to be totally honest with yourself about yourself at all the stages of the process: while writing your online profile, during the online dating process and beyond.

Before writing your dating profile, start by carefully analyzing your past relationship, if any.  How was it started?  What went wrong?  How did you contribute to the deterioration of your past relationship? Be totally honest! This is very important if you want to start another relationship.
Think about the reasons that made you like the last girl or woman.  Which things didn’t you like about her? List the qualities you expect from your future date and make sure that you also possess the qualities that your future date would expect from a loving and caring gentleman.

The next step is to write your profile and present yourself with total honesty. Don’t claim qualities or wealth or education you don’t have. Avoid exaggerating anything. You want to build a strong and durable relationship, so it is essential that your future date chooses you, based on what you really are, and not based on lies and exaggerations.
Don’t claim to be a lawyer with a six figure income while you are just a bar tender. You could impress somebody for a short time, but you would be short-sighted to believe that your future date will stick on a relationship which started with lies. So, don’t lie about your age, your income, your hobbies, your studies, your health… Be always honest about yourself.

What you want is to find a girl or woman who will like you exactly like you are. If you have lied in your profile, your face-to-face meetings will reveal the real you, and your date will understandably doubt your honesty. She will label you in her mind as a liar…and probably a cheat, as well.  Your relationship might not go further after this discovery.

So, be proud of who you are. Be honest. You will always find somebody to accept you as you are. And your online dating experience will soon be rewarded by a potentially strong relationship.

Online Dating: What To Do When Your Personal Ad Doesn’t Generate The Response You Expected?

Filed under: General, dating tips, personal ad — Simeon @ 6:43 am

For people who long for lasting happiness with their love life, dating is probably one of the most important activities to engage in before proceeding to more serious and challenging status like marriage.

Successful dating can really make you the happiest person.
That is why everybody is trying hard to come up with personal ads which are somehow unique and entertaining. After all, the main purpose of personal ads is to advertise one’s self.
But then, what happens next?
You have tried hard to come up with a personal ad which is unique and entertaining. You have placed your hopes in building a successful online dating experience which would hopefully lead to a successful long-lasting relationship.

You have put so much hope in your personal ad. And after weeks and even months of effort, you get no replies. What to do then when your ads fail, when you don’t get the response you hoped for?

Here are some essential tips:

1.  First of all, don’t pull down your ad and become afflicted with low self-esteem. All is not lost. You must stay calm and analyze what went wrong.

2. Don’t get depressed. Don’t blame yourself for this apparent failure. Don’t even blame the apparent failure on the online dating service that you joined. Instead, take your time and calmly examine each part of your profile, and see how it can be improved to get your desired results.

3. Learn and improve how to describe yourself accurately and truthfully. Think carefully about the things you really like to do and describe them as accurately as possible. Tell about the kind of person you are. Be specific. If you don’t like loud music, say so. If you love animals and have a pet, tell about it. Make sure the person who reads your personal ad can easily visualize the kind of person you are.
Would you buy a car without knowing some details about the make model and colour? It’s the same with people. No one would want to proceed with a date unless they know exactly the kind of person they are dating.

4. Make your profile interesting and humorous, not like a report.
Write some short stories about yourself, your life and experiences. Be honest. Don’t be mushy and sound as if you want sympathy. That can also put people off. Don’t boast much about your accomplishments either. Remember that honesty is the best policy in profiles.

5. Stay positive.
I know that failed relationships can be devastating and bring back constant bad memories. However, remember that posting personal ads is not about seeking counseling help. Don’t dwell on negative aspects of your life like problems or failed relationships.

Remember: The key point in writing good personal ads is to come up with something that will appear very interesting and will grab the attention of your potential date.

So, if at some stage you haven’t had any response to your ad yet, follow these hints and try again. You will then be able to change your apparent failure around and head for a real success.
