Internet Dating
Fools Rush In::
It Pays to Plan!
by Margy Culp

In order to find what you are looking for in the world of Internet Dating, there is really only one rule that cannot be avoided. You have to know what you want!  

If you don't know what you are looking for, how will you know when you find it?

This is one situation where it clearly pays to think ahead.

You will get the best results from Internet Dating if you begin with a plan. Decide what your goals are. Make notes; think seriously about several concepts:

What characteristics are you looking for in a new relationship?

How will you present yourself to the person you hope to meet?

Why should this person want to meet you?

Advice for single men and women  about  dates and dating singles on the internet from Margy Culp.

The best way to get your act together for Internet Dating is also the old-fashioned way. Write it down!

Think carefully about the answers to these questions:

What is the minimum age of a person you would consider dating?

What is the maximum age?

What are your preferences for physical appearance, income, education, status, race, etc.

How realistic are these expectations?

What are your preferences for religion, hobbies, interests?

Which characteristics are negotiable to you and which are non-negotiable?

What are your long term plans and in what way must this person fit in to your life?

What changes are you willing to make and what are you unwilling to consider?

It is important to carefully think through these ideas and not be afraid to express yourself honestly when communicating on-line. (Using intelligence and good taste, of course).
