Rules for online dating

How's this for unsolicited information on online dating - one girl has this as her introduction....




DO:
- HAVE A CURRENT PHOTO (or even better - several). Theres nothing worse than meeting someone you have been mildly flirting with online, and finding out they are really 10 years older, 10 stone heavier and only have 10 hairs left! Be realistic, and approach someone who you think you would match with....hey and the lady with the mo is free on friday ( :
- 'Be yourself!' Who wants to wake up in 6 months time with a stranger next to them. If they don't like what you have to say, then they're not the right person for you.
Most girls love being around someone they feel comfortable enough with, to open up to. Although, there is a fine line between revealing too much too soon. For example, if they already know everything there is to know about you in the first 2 hours....don't expect a second date! ( ;
- 'Honesty is the best policy'...tactful, not rude. How many people add to their profile- looking for someone who plays mind games and leads me on - ???
- Do ask the other person questions - its NOT all about you. Showing a genuine interest in someone and letting them know a bit more about you, is far more appealing.
- Other attributes that score highly....a fun sense of humor (not sick!), reliability (the ability to make plans and stick to them...yes there is such a thing!), loyalty (yes...another dog quality), being able to hold an interesting conversation that doesn't revolve around 'I like drinking with my mates on Thursday's, Friday's and Saturday's....ummm.... Yeah' - (thats why your single dumbarse....go play with the boys!!!).
- Do respect her if she's not willing to jump your bones after 2 hours of being in your delightful company.

DON'T:
- Playing hard to get (or on the flipside - too easy or somewhat desperate) is possible going to turn someone off. Make the time to get to know someone who's interested in you. Most girls think its sweet when a guy texts straight after a date or the next day, to compliment that they had a really cool evening (if they did). But if you're texting or ringing 10 times a day, every day after your first meeting....you'll soon be catagorised as 'stalker freak!'
- It pays not to consume copious amounts of alcohol with your mates before a date to calm your nerves....who's ever met an intelligent, witty, sexy extremely drunk person???
- Don't try and fit two or more dates into one night...you'll either get seriously snapped or you'll receive some seriously bad karma!
- Don't be fooled by sites that are too good to be true. That hot Russian actress who wants a sweet, wholesome man in her life, as she is sick of all the players from her past, and is seeking an average Joe, and is willing to participate in threesomes (its your mates messing with you!).
- When you DO meet someone with great potential, DON'T keep up your addiction to this site!
