Online dating for women: don’ts and do’s

There are a few things that women should never do while engaged in an online relationship with a guy. These things are definitely going to put a quick and closing end to any further communications with him.

While chatting online or communicating by email do not write your whole life story. His eyes will glaze over and he will even fall out of his seat. Keep it charming and short until he asks for more… then you can tell more but bit by bit. Only answer the questions he asks. For example: If he asks how many siblings you have, he isn’t asking for details of your contact with them. He just wants to know how many you have, nothing more. Say you have 1 (or whatever the truth is) and then yous should ask how many he has. For every question he asks you, you should ask one of him. Nothing turns a man off more than a long- winded woman who just doesn’t know when to listen or when to shut up.

You should never, ever lie. We all know that lies will catch up with you sooner or later. Many women (and men aswell) lie about their marital status, age, employment, weight, height and a host of other things in their online profiles. That’s a big mistake. If you find a man who you are really interested in, he will find out you lied and there goes any possibility of the relationship progressing. So, just be honest. There is somebody out there who will like you…even come to love you…for exactly the person you are.

Don’t be too eager. It makes you look desperate and it really puts a man off. They are first and foremost conquerors and if getting the person of their desires to like them too is far too easy, they will quickly lose interest. I don’t mean that you have to play “hard-to-get”. I mean, don’t push for a face-to-face meeting. Don’t email them or IM them too often. Play it safe and play it cool.
