1. No Picture, No Email?
So let’s say you’re perusing an online dating site, looking at profiles. One catches your eye - this person has many of the same, uncommon interests you do, and seems funny and engaging. You want to contact them. There’s just one problem: they don’t have a profile picture. What do ...
2. No Strings Attached
The world of online dating can sometimes seem rather formulaic. Do this to get people to look at your profile; don't do that; an email should be this long and stay away from these subjects; don't go on a date too soon. It can become easy to forget about the ...
3. Big Three of First Dates
So, you're ready for that big First Meeting, First Date, whatever you'd like to call it – and you want it to be somewhere other than the cliché coffee shop. Well, first, remember that the coffee shop is cliché because lots of people feel comfortable there – but you want ...
4. Friends First
Chances are, when you sign up for a dating site, love is your primary focus, not friendship. However, if you’re looking for a long-term relationship, there are many reasons to keep good old-fashioned friendship first and foremost in your mind. First of all, regardless of whether you’ve had successful romantic ...
5. Taking a Break
Taking that first step into the world of online dating can be exhilarating - exciting and a little scary. It’s not uncommon, however, to reach a point where the luster wears off, especially if the responses have been less than expected. It might be tempting to just walk away for ...
6. Opposites Attract?
We've all met a couple that made us question the laws of attraction. Maybe one is a Republican and the other is a Democrat, or one is meek and the other boisterous. They seem to get along great, but we don't know why. And we begin to wonder: do opposites ...
7. Beauty and the Beast
Look at any movie or romance novel and you'll see that most relationships fall into a few basic archetypes. Perhaps the most famous of them all is the “opposites attract” couple. It's been done so many times that it's easy to paint a picture even beyond their opposite lifestyles: one ...
8. When Your Date Gets Sick
Undoubtedly a great deal of stress goes into preparing for a first date with someone new. You want everything to go smoothly; you want to reduce any unexpected complications. This time of year, though, the probability of unexpected complications is even higher - because it’s cold and flu season. It’s ...
9. Wrong Person, Right Time?
In dating, it's not uncommon to hear the phrase, “right person, wrong time.” Maybe there was some amazing chemistry, but one or both parties weren't ready to settle down just yet. There's a flip side to this situation - “wrong person, trying to force the right time.” We don't hear ...
10. Cougar?
It's no surprise that when you take the plunge and email someone from an online dating website, occasionally you get a response from someone utterly lacking tact, grace, or good sense. I recently heard about one email, however, that made my jaw drop. A woman decided to email several men ...
11. The "Blind Date" Lie
I've heard this one more than once: “I didn't want to say I was meeting someone from the Internet, so I said I was going on a blind date” or “We told people met on a blind date.” Some feel that online dating has enough of a stigma that meeting ...
12. Small Town Dating
When you live in a big city like, say, Chicago or Houston, there's always a chance you could see someone you know on an online dating site, but it's not very likely. The sheer amount of people in the city means you'd probably have to comb through quite a few ...
13. Why Pick-Up Artists Fail at the Internet
In recent years, much attention has been paid to “pick-up artist” techniques, even spurring a reality show on VH1. I've never been a fan of them. Indeed, I think if you're looking for more than a quick hook-up you're wasting your time, because much of “the Game” is posturing – ...
14. You Look Good Through These Goggles
People like to compare finding someone through an online dating site to meeting someone in a bar. I suspect that's because meeting someone in a bar is the cliché “regular” way to do it, though I can't think of many people I've known who have actually met their significant other ...
15. Yes, You Want to Be Here
Imagine you're at a coffee shop. You're enjoying your drink, maybe reading a book, and someone you find really attractive walks in. Even better, after they order, they sit near you, and strike up a conversation. You have common interests. Everything seems to be going swimmingly. And then, the object ...
