Online Dating Services: Technology takes on romance

The dating world can be very intimidating. To understand fear of dating, we have to know what makes it so scary. First, there is the risk of rejection. Nobody likes to feel rejected and, unfortunately, it is often part of the dating experience. Second, people tend to fear the unknown - what to expect and how to react. Online dating services are fantastic for improving your dating confidence, choosing a viable match, and helping you to get out there. The risk of rejection is minimized as profiles are viewable online.

If someone’s profile does not appeal to you, you simply move on to the next profile. There is no need to exchange words, and no one walks away feeling unwanted. If you are a shy person, online dating services are great avenues for experimenting with your flirting skills. There is significantly less pressure when you are using email or a computer screen to communicate. Things you would not normally say, either because you blush furiously or you would feel awkward, can flow effortlessly from your fingers onto the screen. Furthermore, when flirting online, appearance is unimportant; you can relax and enjoy the experience.

The Profile
A profile is a description of who you are. It should be honest, direct and always portray you in a positive light. Online dating services are a great way to meet people, but lying in order to meet potential mates is not a good idea if you want to start off on the right foot. Telling someone you are a twenty-something blonde ballet dancer or a hunky Brad Pitt look-a-like when it is simply not the truth can definitely put a crimp in your plans when your online friend asks to meet you in person.

• A good profile should reflect your likes, dislikes, and whatever makes you a unique individual.
• Express what you are looking for in a relationship, and what you will not tolerate.

It should outline qualities and characteristics that are essential and valuable to you. An articulate, honest and interesting profile will serve you well. If you are having trouble writing about yourself, grab a trusted friend who can help you pinpoint your positive qualities and reveal what makes you special, perhaps something you are too shy to put into words.

Enhancing your Profile
One great way to enhance your online profile is to upload a flattering picture of yourself. Choose a well-defined photograph of your face with a big smile; that can make all the difference! Choosing a playful username can also get you noticed. Pick an expression that describes the funny side of your personality, such as SportyGal or DancingQueen. At the onset, it is advisable to use a name other than your real name in order to remain anonymous; also, never use an introduction that is offensive or overly provocative.

Captivate your audience - be interesting, avoid clichés, and proofread your complete profile for errors. Many online dating services’ sites have drop-down menus that you can fill in with information pertaining to your hobbies, lifestyle, and appearance. Instead of using words such as “nice” and “good”, use captivating adjectives that will add spark and spice to your profile!

Always keep it confident and positive - a whiny description of your dead-end job or a long list of your pet-peeves is not something people are generally attracted to. It is also wise to refrain from mentioning past failed relationships; there is no need to cast a shadow over a new, potentially successful relationship.

Do not to leave any blank spaces
When using online dating services, your profile is the first impression you make, so if you have a passion in your life, express it! Do not just make statements that you think potential dates want to hear; be your wonderfully charming self, and your inbox will soon be overflowing.

• If you have a winning sense of humour, then briefly state a funny one-liner from one of your favourite comedians.
• If you are an avid traveler, describe briefly a favourite moment during one of your adventures.

Online Dating Scams
First and foremost, the best way to avoid internet dating scams is to use reputable online dating websites such as Match.com, eHarmony, or Lavalife. Before you join any one of these online dating services, participate in free trials and see what each one has to offer.

An online dater must have an analytical eye and be suspicious of inconsistent information. For instance, if your online friend is telling you one thing and their profile says another, it is time to reconsider meeting this person. Always take it slowly and respond at your own pace; do not let anyone pressure you into meeting them or sending them money. It is crucial that you never give out any personal information about yourself until you are very sure that the individual is on the level. If things are going well online, and you should decide to meet face-to-face, choose a public setting for your first date. Also, it is advisable that you create a new email address (Yahoo or Hotmail) specifically for online dating correspondence.
