AN ART OF ELECTRONIC MESSAGING.
Which are the useful internet dating tips for romance and the most important do's and don'ts for single women?
Here are some gender specific dating tips for starting and keeping your online dating e-mail exchanges going which will mainly work for single women:
1. Don't stress that you are vulnerable. Do not hint at your lack of courage or confidence etc.
2. Don't emphasise that you are specifically looking for a man who has a good sense of humour. It may intimidate your online dating prospect, especially if he is not particularly funny.
3. Do be positive about yourself but don't overdo it. If your replies are blisteringly funny sometimes men may get turned off by them.
4. Don't make any pre-conditions on your online dating relationship. That is a definite turn off. Even if you are feeling very strongly about something, there are ways of putting your concerns across. Any pre-conditions from the start are bad for your relationship in general.
5. Do safeguard your anonymity and don't give away any information that could make you lose the main advantage that online dating provides - your anonymity.
6. Do avoid any references to sex in any form or any sexual innuendo. That would send certainly a very wrong message if your first e-mail was sexual.
7. Do comment on his photo if there is one posted in his online dating profile. Men do like to hear that they are good looking.
8. Don't make any derogatory comments about men in general, or specifically about online dating men, saying for example ' how awful they are ..' and so on.
9. Do try to answer your online dating e-mails within a reasonable time, even just to say that you are not interested.
