Online Dating Etiquette
Jason King
You can dress how you want, and have your hair how you want but
you must have online dating etiquette the moment your fingers
touch the keyboard. This is the point where the single on the
other end will feel part of the reel you. This is where
everything you type will be scrutinized as everything naturally
is at an online dating service.
So first and foremost you have to be honest from the moment you
create your profile. Any little white lies or completely made up
stories will get found out eventually. At that point your
creditability will go along with your current online date.
Singles chat to each other in chat rooms, on message boards and
give information in blogs. You don’t want to end up as one of
their topics. Honesty is attractive no matter how you look at
your keyboard.
When you first contact someone, say hello with an e-mail. Lots
of online dating services have smiles or flirts but you can’t
beat a personal message. You can mention parts of their profile
that have caught your attention, and it shows them that you have
actually read their profile.
Everyone is inquisitive when they start conversing with someone
online but that doesn’t mean you should continually ask
questions. Don’t give other singles a reason to be put off. You
need to just let the questions flow with the conversation. Weave
them in naturally. If they bring something up that can lead into
a question then ask it. Also give some information about
yourself as well then other singles will be more willing to let
their guard down a bit.
Become a good listener. Most people like talking about
themselves, and this can lead into you asking a few questions
that they will be willing to answer. Plus this shows that
you’re paying attention, and that can only be in your favor.
Never ask questions or make statements that will put your date
on the defensive. Subjects like politics and religion should be
left alone for quite a while. Leave these topics of conversation
till you know someone very well or even wait until you have met
them offline.
Leave all capital letters and abbreviated sentences out of the
conversation. When you use capitals it’s a form of shouting
online, and abbreviated sentences become hard to decipher and
annoying. You will probably get a way with the odd smiley so
they know when you’re joking but don’t over do it. Remember
this is someone you are trying to impress, and maybe one day
have a lasting relationship with. Presentation is everything
especially when attracting a partner.
Do not come across as eager or desperate. Never push someone
into doing anything they don’t want to do. You have to respect
anyone’s wishes on the speed in which they want to get to know
you. If you find you’re in need of changing the way anyone
thinks or acts it’s probably not going to work anyway.
