If you are curious and interested in trying online dating for the first time, browse all the different dating sites available and find one that matches your needs. There are a number of options to finding love, companionship, intimacy and romance in this new millennium. I am hopeful for myself and believe I am finally ready to give love and let myself be loved in returned. I have been on 3 dates thus far after many online email exchanges, real and current photo swaps for honesty sake and phone conversations. Each time I met them in very public places and told others, trusted friends and family, about the dates so I didn't feel I was going it alone. One of the dates was a movie date that was surprisingly bad. I say surprisingly because he was the one I had the most in common with and thought had the more attractive face. No connection what so ever, almost laughable.
But, I dusted myself off and tried again. The next date I had was a lunch date during the middle of the work week day. Which means there was not a lot of time to gleam any real personal information. It was light and friendly and he was very funny. He made a parting comment about how pretty he thought I was which made me blush. So, I moved on to date number three. A lawyer who was nice and had a very interesting career and seemed very responsible. He seems like a very good man, quiet and serious. I am still looking but I have made dinner plans with date number two and continue to email and phone date number three.
As advice to anyone contemplating on online dating sites for the first time, be well prepared to actually have something to say to people. Write down your interests, your travels and hobbies as reference material. Think of short stories within your life to tell. If it helps, take an honest assessment of your likes and dislikes and do not compromise. I hate seafood, therefore if someone suggested to take me out to a seafood restaurant I would kindly refuse then offer one of my favorite places to go. Now, of course there are a number of expensive places I would like to try but would not like to take advantage of this new dates wallet. I would be honest and tell them the truth that they were places on my list but not places I frequent. Men are just as insecure about their bank accounts as women are about their hips. Be realistic about your expectations but then again don't settle for Taco Bell unless Taco Bell is your favorite restaurant. Honesty here is the best policy to finding people that really match you.Think also about things you would like to do. I never knew there were so many scuba divers people out there! It's insane want people write. For my profile, most of the people responded because they said mine was the most honest sounding, direct and down to earth.
If someone would have told me a year ago I would be going out on multiple dates within the span of a month I would have laughed at the thought. Now, I just wonder what took me so long to see that I deserve these suitors. In the end, maybe you will even gain more friends.
