An Internet Dating Tip That Everyone Should Follow
Lee Blackspur
One of the biggest problems that comes from internet dating is the way
the whole process from start to finish is handled.
Because you never know who is going to respond to your online profile
you never know how you are going to be treated.
This is something that can continue all the way until the first date is
over. You just do not know how it is going to end up. So here is the
best internet dating tip I can give you. Do unto others as you would
want them to do unto you. The old Golden Rule is still the best policy
today as it has been for years before.
If you are being set up by a friend you can usually trust their
judgment that at the very least your date will go through and they
will be polite. If not you will let your friend know about it and
probably not date anyone else that they recommend.
With internet dating some people seem to feel as though they have the
right to treat others like dirt and this is part of the reason internet
dating has had a bad reputation in the past. They do not respond to
emails, they lie on their profiles, they are vague in the way they
reply and they schedule dates and do not show up. This is just plain
rude and a lot of people feel it is enough to make them want to return
the favor.
In the long run you are better off to try and behave decently yourself
and you will find most of the responses you get will be the same.
Return emails or phone calls. Be honest. If you do not want to go out
with someone politely tell them so. You are not required to date
everyone who contacts you.
If they take the time to contact you from the heart be honest back. If
you get a firm email or a firm letter that is another matter and you
really do not have to feel like you should respond in earnest.
If you go on a date and it is a dud you have no obligation to go out
again, but be up front and honest about it. If you decide, before your
first date, that you have had second thoughts then just let them know
you have changed your mind. Wish them luck and move on.
We are talking about just being a decent person in the internet dating
process. Treating people properly would seem to be accepted as normal,
but online dating brings out some strange characters and some strange
behaviour.
The best internet tip we can give you is be yourself and move on if
someone is not treating you the way you feel they should.
