Singles Online | Web Dating

Any kind of relationship should not and cannot run on deceit.  The reason singles flock to dating sites is that they’re all looking for love, and it’s quite likely that they’ve tried to find it in the wrong places before.  I hate to break it to you, guys, but indeed, honesty is the best policy.  There’s no point in lying your way into an online relationship, because women have a knack for finding loopholes in your story.  Seriously, you don’t lie and then expect to be trusted.  In any relationship, honesty would go a long way.

Think “honesty is the best policy” right from the start.

While some online dating tips recommend reinventing yourself each time you create a profile on a dating site, that’s a no-no if you want a relationship to work.  Nothing can be more stressful than having to remember whether it’s on this site that you’re a skydiver (or were you a poet?) or on the other.  Don’t say that you’re a dead ringer for Johnny Depp when the closest you’ve gotten to that was in Edward Scissorhands.  How would you feel if you were expecting a Paris Hilton look-alike on your first date, and you suddenly find yourself face-to-face with a female Perez Hilton?  Also, never say you’re quite “boyish” at 40 (your real age?) when you mean “thin-haired.”

Let your profile scream “relationship honesty.”

Most men make the mistake of wanting to appear cool and romantic in their profiles.  If it simply isn’t “you,” spare yourself the trouble of trying too hard to pull it off.  You’ll have a better chance at finding Ms. Right-for-you if your profile tells her exactly what kind of relationship you’re looking for.  When creating your profile, think about the things that you liked and disliked about your former relationships.  Be honest.  In designer stuff and men, what women hate the most are phonies.  Be specific about what you like in a potential girlfriend.  Don’t worry about limiting your matches–it’s quality over quantity, remember?  She’ll appreciate that you’re upfront about it and may even decide that you’re not a player.

Once you do find your perfect match, deactivate your online dating account right away.  You won’t need that any longer, unless you want Ms. Right-for-you to feel that she’s just Ms. Right-now.
