Making the most of your online dating site

ow to look impressive online

Its commonly misunderstood that when it comes to online dating, or online chatting there are no set rules or etiquette that need to be followed, this is not true, even before you plan to meet the person you want to date there are things that your opposite is noticing, things that are making an impression on his/her mind. In fact many people often wonder why they were rejected even without a meeting. It's usually because they have unknowingly triggered warning bells in the mind of the person they have been chatting with.

As is the case with all things in life, there are no such things as common tips, if you are a woman there are a different sets of rules that apply to you and if you are a man there are different rules. The object of this article is to give a few pointers to help people get along and meet Mr. Right or Ms. Perfect.

Tips for women

First things first, no matter how pretty you are, or how adept you are at getting dressed, none of these factors make a difference online. Online a guy is looking for a woman that sound interesting, the definition of interesting could be 'sexy' for one guy and 'intelligent' for another, but the truth is that men appreciate women that have a head on their shoulders. So it does not hurt to sound intelligent and aware of the events that are transpiring in the world, however don't over do it either and sound like a walking talking encyclopaedia (the same applies for men too).

Another thing you need to remember when you are chatting with men is to make sure you are attentive, men dislike women who are chatting with four other guys at the same time, if you have to chat with 4 guys at the same time make sure that you are good at multi-tasking and keep a track of all the conversations that are happening, replying to a majority of the question with a "Hmm" or "okay" will probably result in the guy loosing interest in you. Another factor that holds good for men and women is using correct English, no one appreciates receiving answers like "gr8, th8 means we can me8 up @ 4". The message above sounds immature and childish at best.

Tips for Men

No matter what part of the world you are from, a sense of humour goes a long way, women love talking to a guy who has his wits about him, and can offer a witty remark from time to time. Irrespective of your looks and status, if you can come across as an intelligent and witty guy with a sense of humour there is nothing like it. Remember before the saying clothes make the man comes true, you first have to make a good impression online.

Another common mistake most men make is that they sound too eager to meet, or get too protective too soon. This is a common mistake, women love their independence and if you sound too eager or possessive you stand to scare away your date even before you meet.
