Common Mistakes that Women Make While Online Dating

Competition can be really tough when looking for Mr.  Right through the Internet.  Subtract the scumbags and players from the male population, and you’re left with an even smaller number of potential partners.  You’re just a nice girl trying to find a nice guy, how hard can it be? I hate to say this, but VERY— especially when you have a habit of committing certain blunders that kill online relationships.  Ever wonder why online dating do’s and don’ts have more “don’ts” than “do’s”? That’s because common mistakes that women make can get Cupid flying out the window.

Common mistakes that make men bolt

The devil is in the details.  Let’s face it.  Women like to talk, but save the gabfest for your girlfriends.  It’s good to tell him about your interests, such as your love for cooking.  Just don’t rattle on about the right way to chop onions, and did he know about this amazing brand of fillet knife? Trust me, he’ll say that your talk got him famished and that he won’t be back until he’s eaten—a lifetime’s worth of meals.  Telling men all the gory details isn’t just boring; it kills the mystery, too.  Also, spinning lies to appear more interesting is a no-no.  Men are people, too, and they don’t deserve to be lied to, just like you.  Besides, would you risk having a date walk out on you once he sees that your idea of looking like Sarah Jessica Parker is having a horse-y face? Another major blunder is to be too psyched about him.  Going gung-ho at the start of an online relationship can scare guys off.  Send him three love notes every day, and he’ll think you’re obsessed and desperate.  However, playing coy and hard-to-get can make him balk, too.

Online dating do’s and don’ts—but “don’ts” mostly

Don’t be an open book—not only for dating success but for personal safety.   Don’t lie and then expect to find Mr.  Right.  Relationships should be based on trust.  Do like yourself first and exude confidence.  It’ll never work unless your date likes you for who you are.  Don’t border on the extremes.  Never be too enthusiastic or play hard-to-get if you want to keep him interested.  Lastly, don’t make the same online dating mistakes that other women make, and let love find you.
