On-Line dating can be a very effective way to meet quality men. However there are a few “rules” that women should take heed to if they don’t want to turn off a potential mate, especially one they are interested in.

While chatting online or by email do not write your life story. His eyes will glaze over and he will fall out of his chair. Keep it short and sweet until he asks for details, then provide them slowly and only answer the questions he asks.

For example, if he asks how many siblings you have, he is NOT asking for the details of your interaction with them. He really just wants to know how many you have. Say you have 2 (or whatever is true) and then ask how many he has.

For every question he asks you, you should ask one of him. Nothing turns a man off like a long-winded woman who just doesn’t know when to be quiet or how to listen.

Telling the truth is a virtue. Most of us have insecurities about something, but there is no reason to tell untruths or make up stories. Be honest. If you are a little overweight, don’t say you have a models figure. If you are unemployed, don’t say you are a corporate CEO. I think you get my drift on this one.

One of the ten commandments comes strongly into play strongly when you write your profile and correspond with anyone wanting to connect with you, through dating on-line. “Thou Shall Not Lie”. This might be the most important rule in on-line dating. Untruths have a tendency to rear their ugly little heads at the most inappropriate times. When they do, you could lose the change of developing a great relationship, with someone whose company you have been enjoying.

Maybe you have been alone for a while, or have had some “bad relationships”, but still don’t make yourself look desperate. Desperation or even appearing to be desperate turns most people off, especially men. You don’t want to scare them away, by being clingy or too easy.

These rules are general guidelines which lead to success at on-line dating. They work. I met my husband at an on-line site just by being myself, a good listener, and telling the truth. We have been married for several years now, bought a home together and have adopted twin boys. Your man could be just around the computer for you too.
