Online Dating Etiquette

So, are you really ready to take the online dating plunge? Sure, you€ve found a site that suits you, and have started posting your pictures and creating your photo profile, but do you really know how you€re supposed to act? There are no real written rules in online dating, but success (and enjoyment) is based entirely on you. If you start with a negative attitude, treating people rudely along the way, odds are good you will receive the same (if not worse) in turn. Carrying yourself properly then is the key to a successful, and fun experience online.

Here then is some online dating etiquette.

Leave fear and self-consciousness behind

Feelings of fear and self-consciousness are normal whenever you put yourself up for judgement in new environments. However, if not kept in check these sentiments can mushroom into negative habits that will only hurt your chances for love later on. Always remember that you are not alone in your online dating adventure, and that every available single you encounter has at some point dealt with similar emotions. Embrace what you fear, and focus on being as optimistic and courteous as you can. Keep in mind that those who are most positive are usually those who are the most attractive.

Do on to others€

The major rule of online dating etiquette is simple and as old as the bible itself. Essentially, you have to treat other singles with the same respect you yourself would like to receive. If every correspondence you have begins with this positive framework in place, you€ll help create a caring atmosphere where you may find both your perfect match and scores of online friends. Remember, even if you€re not attracted to someone, there are no real wasted correspondences, as at worst, you€ve made a new friend.
