Online dating for millionaire singles

The beginning of the year is a wonderful mess of emotions. Sophomores have finally got it together, juniors are starting to think about what to do with their lives, seniors are panicking because most of them put off thinking about what to do with their lives when they were juniors, and then there are the freshmen. This column is for you. Welcome, class of 2012, to Case Western Reserve University, and more importantly, to our dating pool. Being right out of high school, I'm sure many of you are coming in with a myriad of different romantic situations, so to start the year off right, allow me to provide you with some basic college romantic etiquette rules and advice that most upperclassmen had to learn the hard way.

There must be plenty of you who came to college already in a relationship. If that's you, one of the most important lessons you must learn immediately is how to be diplomatic about having alone time, since most of you live in doubles. This goes for all of you singles who bring "study buddies" back to your room, too. Having a system to notify your roommate before they open the door that you are in the room with someone else is key. Some people put hair ties on the door knob, others write it on the whiteboard – whatever works for you. Additionally, asking upfront "Hey, can I have my girl/boyfriend over on Thursday night?" can work. It may be uncomfortable at first, but both single and attached roommates should keep in mind that if you're going to live with someone for a year, it's better to avoid awkward moments than to have surprises later on.

Also for those who are attached – if you're wondering if there's a secret to keeping long distance relationships alive and kicking, it'll have to stand the test of time. The key to this one is knowing yourself and setting solid expectations of each other in terms of communication right off the bat. Don't go in without a plan and just try to see what happens in college – think about how you would like to go about solving problems like "he never calls me" and "she talks about her guy friends all the time" in advance. That way, you won't be devastated if the aforementioned or anything else crops up over time.

My next little gems are for those of you who came to college single. The most important piece of advice I can give you is please don't hook up with the first hot thing you see. I know it's hard (no pun intended), but when you're a freshman, it never occurs to you just how often you might see someone you thought was just a one-night stand. For instance, if you hooked up with someone during orientation then brushed them off and now they're in your SAGES class, you might be in trouble. And speaking of the issue of where to meet people, remember that you're more likely to meet your soul mate when you keep your mind open. Your chances of meeting prince charming at the stir fry station are just as good as meeting princess charming at a club meeting, so put yourself out there and go talk to people.

But no matter your situation – don't sweat it! Enjoy your four years for what they're worth. If you find romance, then good for you. And if you don't, then that's another couple of years of reading this column! Either way, good luck and welcome, class of 2012!

1. Lateness

You planned out this date in great detail. You obviously planned also not to be on time. It is one thing to call and let her know you are running a little behind schedule but are on the way. It is another to show up an hour later (or worse) and not even give her the courtesy of a phone call. When it comes to going out somewhere, many women are sticklers for promptness. You do not get a second chance to make a first impression and showing up late tells her you are not really taking this date seriously

2. What conversation?

Your date starts talking and talking and talking. Not because she wants to but because you do not have anything to say other than an occasional "uh-huh". It could be nerves on your part non profit fund raising were just unprepared to speak on any subject. Whatever it is, having to drag conversation out of your date is not a woman's idea of fun.

This goes for the opposite end of the spectrum also. Practicing conversation hogging or slapping down her opinion each time she attempts to contribute to the discussion may give her the following impression: "This guy is a jerk." Chances are that's not the vibe you wanted to give out.

3. What humor?

You don't know any jokes. You don't make any humorous comments. As a matter of fact, when she says something funny you go out of your way furniture cleaning chicago it and find the serious point in what she was trying to say. Yuck. No one wants to be around a stick in the mud. Sharing some laughs with her can work absolute wonders so lighten up.

This is known in some circles as lying. Sure you want to impress her but exaggerating your importance is not the way to do it. Starting a dating relationship with a lie is a formula for disaster. If your date senses that you are lying, that disaster will come sooner than you think.

5. She reminds me of…

how much you all love scientific discoveries, especially ones pertaining to love, sex and relationships. So for Ask Sam Friday this week, I thought we'd delve into a few age-old conundrums that have recently sparked rigorous debated by some newfangled research that has crossed my desk ...

To shag or not to shag your high school sweetheart?

"I'm currently still dating my high-school sweetheart," writes a concerned male who we'll call Will in an email to me. "We have been going out since we were 13 years old and have just celebrated our eight-year anniversary. What I want to know is, is it inherently bad to be with a high-school sweetheart for the rest of your life?"

Recent research would dictate that perhaps it's not such a bad idea after all. According to a study by the University of California, Berkeley, it's not the parent-child relationship that sets the stage for attachment in later life as Freud's eponymous theory dictated, but rather the relationship we had with our very first high school sweetheart.

Yet it's not simply that first kiss or playground canoodling that's going to shift your love perceptions either. Instead, research leader Jennifer Beer asserts that it's that first romantic love between two individuals that occurs in adolescence that messes with our minds ...

"Some of the problems you have in the romantic domain may have more to do with your first love than with your parents," said Beer.

Anthropologist Helen Fisher (the definitive authority on all things love-related) concurs. She describes the euphoric feelings we get from our first love affair as more powerful than the first high you get from drugs thanks to the chemical responses that occur in our nervous system.

"Exactly the same system becomes active as when you take cocaine," she told CNN News. "You can feel intense elation when you're in love."

A girlfriend of mine knows the addiction of first love all too well. WealthyChats.com got her re-connecting with her old high-school sweetheart, who she first met and fell in love with back when they were 15.

"We were both lonely and single when we found each other on WealthyChats.com," she tells me. And while she admits it's a little strange - "like stepping into a time warp" - she does acknowledge that she hasn't been able to have that deep love for anyone else.

"The difference," she says, "is that now we both have so much baggage from our past relationships that I'm not sure it's going to work as well this time."

Perhaps she has a point.

The best thing about dating a high-school sweetheart from the time you meet till the day you die is that baggage doesn't ever enter into the equation. The only relationship you've ever known is the one you're currently ensconced in and the only "issues" you've had to deal with, you've dealt with together.

Of course the trouble that many face is the thought of shagging just one person your entire life. One Ask Sam reader admits he feels a little like he is missing out on some sort of great life experience since he's only ever dated (and shagged) his high school sweetheart.

"I have never been a single male ADULT," he writes. "Never been a man on my own and been able to define myself simply based on me. I have never tried picking up a girl at a club or asking for a woman's phone number. I have never had a one-night stand, nor have I been rejected by a girl. Somehow I feel like I am missing out on some important life experiences."

Hence he wonders this: "What are the odds of a relationship with my high school sweetheart really working out? What if it fails? Are the risks of what I will lose too great? And even if it does work out, is it even a good thing? Am I missing out on too many important life experiences (i.e. dating, being with different people)? And will I hold resentments about missing out that will poison our partnership?"

What do you think?

In case you too are wondering about your first love, here are some top tips on how to find your high-school sweetheart

 

* Search for their name on websites like Facebook, MySpace and Classmates, LinkedIn. Use their full name and abbreviations in your search.

* Widen your search by putting in their last name, plus their geographic location

* Use the Yellow Pages to call a family member

* Google them

* Get in touch with your high school to see if they have any records

* Still no luck? eHow.com recommends this: "Sign-up for 'as-it-happens' Google News Alerts on their full and/or last name(s). Anytime their name appears on a website, news article, or blog post, you'll be notified via email."

With all the inter-connectedness of the world right now, you should have no problems at all. Unless they're married ...

STOP PRESS!

Is the Man Drought real, or are we just too picky?

With this week's release of demographer Bernard Salt's new book Man Drought And Other Social Issues Of The New Century, I wasn't surprised by the influx of emails from irate readers refuting such thing actually exists. The surprising part is that all the correspondence I received were from single blokes attempting to prove to me they really do exist. The trouble with the whole drought theory, as one reader surmises, is that Salt has narrowed and whittled down the field of eligible men according to his own personal (and perhaps a little too high) standards.

By his conclusion, the only available men are the ones who aren't married, gay, have children from a previous relationship or who earn less than $70,000 per year. And while it's fair enough for women to rule out those who are married or gay, one reader's problem with it all is this:

"Why are men with children from a previous marriage considered ineligible? Why are men earning less than $70,000 considered ineligible? I think the cash level is especially interesting. Whilst $70K isn't a huge amount of money, it is significant. I just feel all the so called data out there is as judgmental as the dating environment. Maybe the data fuels the environment or vice versa."

Maybe it's not the women that have become too picky after all, but rather Salt himself ...

EXTRA!

To check, or not to check?

Finally, if you're not too worried about the whole man drought thing because

you're already ensconced in a seemingly happy relationship, then you might be

faced with another, albeit more sinister quandary hitting the dating

circuit: text-checking. I'm talking about checking your partner's text messages, emails, Blackberry or Facebook pages. So do you do it? Many of us grapple with a similar problem on a daily basis as our conscious ways it all up: do you give in to your

temptation and snoop if you suspect dodgy behaviour? And what if you find nothing but they catch you int he act? Or worse - what if you find something? And how would you know what it all means?

Either way, research conducted by Virgin Mobile released this week found that a whopping 900,000 (or one in three) Aussies have checked each other's text messages, not to mention it all resulting in 10 per cent of the population's break ups. So the message? Either quit text-flirting, or hide that phone!

This is especially for women. Men just have an easier time finding women to go out with. The big question is where to meet these meet eligible men? A good question. The good news is that there are many single groups popping up and believe it or not there are men in these groups. They are generally unthreatening and have lots of fun things to do. So you can have some social time and check out the opposite sex.

There is a lot about online dating services. Use caution here, and be sure you pick a reputable one. When planning a meeting make sure it is in public, and someone knows you are going to meet someone. Better safe than sorry.

Church is always a good place. It takes a while to get to know people. The best thing is that you can meet married folks and make new friends. They often know a single guy or two.

The local bar...All of you are saying at this time NO!...If you have a local watering hole where people congregate it is a fine way to socialize, have a non-threatening place to go. Make friends with the bartenders. They are trained to be nice to customers.

Last week, I had a phone conversation with one of the men in my matchmaking service. Knowing that he is a triathlete (running, biking and swimming), I asked him if he had been watching any of the Olympics. His reply was, "You bet I have. I haven't been to bed before midnight any night this week, and some mornings I've gotten up at 4:30 to catch other events."

I, too, watched a fair amount of the Olympics. Thankfully, because of Tivo I was able to do so without losing any sleep. I found the Olympics fascinating. I enjoyed the pageantry, the feats and accomplishments, and the stories of past and present Olympic participants.

The Opening Ceremonies reminded me that both tradition and innovation (thinking outside of the box) are valuable. As I watched the events, I was impressed by the Olympians' accomplishments. They were able to do things that would be impossible for most of us. Some of them were able to do things better (and faster) than anyone else in the world. Some were better and faster than anyone in the world has ever been.

What really impressed me about the Olympics was neither pageantry nor the feats of skill. It was the stories of individuals participating in the Olympics. Some stories described the enormous amount of time and effort that each athlete brought to their training as well as the highly ambitious goals they had committed to for themselves, often at a very young age. Other stories chronicled the hardships, challenges and setbacks the athletes endured while training, not to mention the injuries they sustained (and overcame) and the heartbreaks they endured and moved beyond. The stories of these athletes are great stories. They are truly inspiring stories which are made all the more remarkable because they are true.

As a singles coach, I see strong parallels for dating singles. Jared, the Subway sandwich guy, set a goal to lose weight and then committed himself to a diet of Subway sandwiches. He kept his commitment and lost about 200 pounds. As a result, Jared is now a highly-paid spokesperson for Subway, has married a beautiful woman and has two young children. It wouldn't be exaggerating to say that he, quite literally, took home the gold.

John, one of my coaching clients, took my advice to persevere in his long search for Mrs. Right by extending his membership with MillionaireCupid.com. After 14 months as an MillionaireCupid member, he was matched with a woman who was in her first month of membership. They have been dating for almost a year, and it appears that she is the woman he has been looking for.

Sarah, also one of my clients, was widowed after a long marriage. After participating in my singles course, she networked extensively and met the man who would be her next mate. He died suddenly. Sarah grieved and moved on. She's now is a serious relationship with another good man.

As a dating single, I suggest setting a goal for yourself. Then, dress up, show up, and participate in the dating game. If something gets in your way, embrace it as a challenge. Find a way to go over, under, around or through it. I cannot promise you that it will be easy, but we both know it will be well worth it.

WITH this year's sanction of same-sex marriage, the first same- sex divorce can't be very far behind. The grounds: irreconcilable similarities. "You leave the seat up all the time.""You leave the seat up all the time."

 

When it comes to similarities, most of us are combing for at least a few between ourselves and our prospective partners. But one thing men and women both have that dating sites rarely if ever mention: Imperfections.

 

What if a site trumpeted our all too human sides, yes -- proudly? In the interest of full disclosure, you'd be assured of no nasty surprises later. Instead of time-released flies in the ointment, MillionaireCupid.com would make them buzz-worthy from the get-go.

 

First, that all-important Jpeg.

 

Say goodbye to flattering lighting and Photoshopping sprees.

 

Farewell to frozen images as accurate as the frozen dinner cartons that embellish the barely recognizable "meat" inside.

 

Wake up to a whole new world of Internet dating by combing through sleepy-eyed strangers after they first awaken in the morning.

 

A  photographer would be camped out on location to make sure it's not an impeccably-coiffed Laura Petrie "waking up" after a fake night sleep, but the real deal in all its gory, uh, glory.

 

But Millionaire Cupid wouldn't stop there. Hung over? Having a bad hair day? Smile and say "cheese."

 

As for the handle above your image, forget the uplifting "Let the sun shine in" aphorisms. Your adage for all to associate with the essence of your being is the answer to one simple question: What do you yell during fits of road rage?

 

If your diatribe is already taken, you can always be "Move Your SUV, You S.O.B. 2" (or 202).

 

Why entrust a description of yourself to someone as un-objective as you? Millionaire Cupid directs its personality profile questionnaires to the e-mail address of the last person who dumped you.

 

The only question you need answer: What is the e-mail address of the last person who dumped you?

 

As for the normal things you like to do for fun, Millionaire Cupid isn't really interested. Unless it's the spiteful things you like to do for fun.

 

Dancing -- who cares? Dancing on the pretend grave of the person who dumped you -- now we're talking.

 

Last read: Lincoln's biography? Yawn. Prozac label? Sign in here.

 

If potential running mates need to be vetted, why not potential soul mates? Should you still manage to win each other's votes in the end, your relationship could stand a fighting chance of going the distance. Keep up the good fights!

Angus Watson and Tanya Gold look at the classic dating mistakes of the sexes

WHERE WOMEN GO WRONG

  They talk about cats, self-help books and soap operas; to men, this is dull and may indicate the beginnings of insanity.

  They talk about past relationships; the ultimate turn-off.

  They dress either dress too sluttily, or turn up disguised as Margaret Thatcher.

  They boast about their highly paid jobs and salaries; this can make less well-paid men feel small, helpless and angry.

  They get drunk and emotional.

  They sometimes expect sex on the first date, which can leave men feeling 'used'.

  They talk about marriage, families and babies precipitously; men like to feel that marriage is their idea, even if it is plainly not.

  They give mixed messages; if you like a man, say do, if you don't, politely disappear.

Angus Watson

WHERE MEN GO WRONG

  They lie on their profiles. About everything: height, 'hair situation', age, marital status, children...

  If you're overweight and 60-years-old don't expect a warm response form a 23-year-old woman looking for a 'a sporty man agged 22 to 35'

  They can't spell: "Hi Cuttie, how r ya?"

  They are too pushy: They don't think that most women prefer to get to know the man a little (email/ phone etc) before they meet a complete stranger.

  They use sexual innuendo: e.g. to girl who likes fishing: "Will you hold my rod?"

  They don't always bother with innuendo: "I want you now you, sexy"

  They confuse dating with getting laid.

  They are shy. A bit shy is cute, too shy is weird

"Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford is angry that bosses of an online dating Web site have used his image in an unauthorized attempt to boost membership.

But the 23-year-old insists bosses at the site -- which links members via Web cam -- never officially hired him as the face of their brand.

Crawford's representative tells the New York Daily News, "They had no right to use his name or photo. He is not the spokesperson."

A spokesperson for the Web site is yet to comment.

The 5 Ultimate Rules of Online Dating by WealthyChats.com


1. Thou shalt not use thy real name, at first. Don't give out any of your personal information when you connect with someone online. Remember, there are thousands of predators lurking online looking to gain a woman's trust and become a part of her life to later drain her bank account or worse. Don't let this be you!

2. Thou shalt meet your online date for the first time in a public place. Remember, a guy you meet online may seem like Mr. Perfect and any girl would want to invite Mr. Perfect home, but remember, you haven't confirmed that your online love is truly Mr. Perfect yet. That's a process that's going to take time, so make sure you meet in a public place for your first date.

3. Thou shalt be aware of fake dating profiles. Remember when your mom told you that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is? Well, it goes for everything including dating profiles. If a man online seems to have every single thing you're looking for, beware. Remember, the Internet is a place where people can hide behind usernames and passwords and Mr. Perfect2008 that's caught your eye online may really be Mr.SweetheartSwindler2008.

4. Thou shalt not have a virtual online affair if you're in a real-life relationship. Here's the test, if you've got a significant other and kids waiting for you at home when you leave work every day, you should not be chatting about sex or other romantic topics with someone online. In essence, you're having a cyber-affair, so don't do it.

5. Thou shalt not create an online dating profile if thou art married, engaged, living with someone or in a relationship where you refer to the other person as your boyfriend or girlfriend. Don't use the Internet to troll for an affair. If you're unhappy in your relationship, end it with dignity instead of engaging in the deceit of infidelity.

*I met this guy on an online dating site and we did a lot of Q&A stuff about our goals, life, etc. and seemed to get along well.  We then exchanged nice emails where he was really chatty and complimentary.  Next we moved to instant messaging each other and that was great, except when he was busy working and I was fine with that.  We met and seemed to get along well and on our second date--it ended up being 12 hours long...we had a lot of fun hanging out with friends, singing karaoke until the sun rose and then toward the end of our night we ended up kissing and then having great sex, which he initiated.  The next morning was ok, we had breakfast and then I had to go.  After this he has been in touch, but only to say hi, then he had to go--was busy.  He declined some opportunities to meet up.  

      When we ran into each other a week later at a bar it was nice to see each other but it felt awkward (esp since he said he was too busy to go out).  I said something about the awkwardness after we spent a few hours just talking and hanging out.  He said he felt awkward too, because he was afraid I might feel that there was a relationship now that we had slept together.  I said that was making assumptions.  He said we barely know each other.  I asked him if he wanted to keep getting to know each other or not and he said he did want to keep getting to know each other.  He hugged me and said that he was glad we talked about this.  He asked if I felt better, and I said I guess so.  Then I left the bar.  I called him 30 mins later to apologize for bringing up the topic in public and I got voicemail.  I also emailed him the next day a short friendly email to show I was still the same fun person he was getting to know.  No response yet from him but he is out of town for a week on a work project. What do you think?  Is there hope?

Advice Chick replies,

      Keep getting to know each other? He no longer needs to get to know you. He already knows you're a female that fuxxs on the second date. He said that because he didn't want you to create a scene at the club. He was happy as hell when you finally left the club. When you called a few mins later to apologize, he reached for his phone (they're usually on vibrate when in a club), saw YOUR number, and pressed IGNORE so fast and hard that he almost broke his finger.

      He may be out of town, but the odds are he has access to the Internet and his email. Oh! You're no longer the fun person he was getting to know; you're now some chick that got the dyck.

      Yes, there is hope. There's "hope" that you learned something from this and possibly previous encounters; stop getting physical so fast. Also, learn how to value your time. Date number two was twelve hours? That's an awful long date, ma. Initially this guy might have been interested in "you." As the date went on (and on, and on) he realized you didn't appear to have sense enough to end the date. We don't always have to wait for the guy to end the date, ya know. We also don't have to agree to a sexual liaison just because he initiates it. Ever heard of saying no?

-----> Ladies, please listen. Notice the signs. Listen to your intuition. When you're with a guy B.S. (that's BEFORE Sex) everything is good. He calls all of the time. He responds to your emails almost instantly, he is available and is interested. Usually A.S.T.S. (AFTER sex too soon) he doesn't (or rarely calls), ignores your emails, and isn't available or interested. <-----

When you saw him in the club he said, "We barely know each other." That was a true statement; however, I bet he wasn't saying that when he was talking you out of your thong, was he? If it's too early for a relationship, it's too early for sex.

But like anything else, there are a number of misconceptions about online dating services. Much of this is simply "logical assumption" on the part of people who do not understand online dating, but it is important to dispel these myths so that you can reap the many benefits of an online dating service and find which one is best for you.

Myth #1: You will not find love online.

This myth was obviously starting by someone who either never tried any online dating service or perhaps joined the wrong service. The facts and statistics about online dating blow this untruth out of the water. Some of the online dating services are free, but upholstery cleaning large extent, you get what you pay for, and for those unwilling to invest a little bit into finding the perfect partner are not serious about finding one. One of the keys to success is being truthful in your profile so that someone searching for someone else with YOUR characteristics will be found.

Myth #2: Online dating is not safe.

Totally wrong. Online dating is as safe as you make it. You obviously need to use caution when you are entering data into your profile. Never use your home address, your home phone number, your cell phone number, or anything else that could be used to specifically identify and find you by someone with negative intentions. You can provide that information to someone that you have exchanged email with and gotten to know web design software bit, starting with providing a cell phone number, and perhaps not even providing your home address until you have actually MET that person by mutual agreement in a public place like a restaurant. The safety factor of online dating is entirely in your hands, since nobody is forcing you to reveal personally-identifying information about yourself.

Myth #3: Online dating is only for computer nerds.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Of course, there are computer nerds and geeks doing online dating, just as there are other computer nerds looking for someone with similar interests. But the majority of people using online dating are non-geeks; rather, they are from almost every walk upholstery cleaning codes from engineers to lawyers to doctors to sales managers to everything else. They are looking for that perfect partner and have decided to use online dating and the power of the Internet in their search.

"Long walks on the beach, a passion for music and movies" just isn't going to cut it anymore in the rough and tumble world of online dating.

Struggling with finding love on the web? Start by blaming your online dating profile, which may contain out-of-date photos, bland descriptions, or one too many white lies. Correcting these common mistakes should go a long way toward avoiding another Valentine's Day alone, experts say.

"Look around; you tell me -- how good are profiles these days?" asks Evan Marc Katz, dating expert and author of I Can't Believe I'm Buying This Book: A Commonsense Guide to Successful Internet Dating.

"People, after years of doing this, they've gotten the message that they've got to do better," he said. "But most people don't know what that means."

If you're alone, you're in good company. Some 82 million adults were single in the U.S. in 2000, or about 40 per cent of the population, according to the U.S. census bureau. The unmarried adult population is projected to reach 106 million by 2010.

Here are some tips if you want to give internet dating a try:

Make your online name pop, advises Gail Laguna of Spark Networks. Forget JSmith101 and go with something more expressive, like Live2Laugh or WhiteWaterWarrior, she suggests, and the profile tips at MillionaireCupid.com are really helpful to choose a good username.

Be specific. Anyone can say they love candlelit dinners and sunsets, says Janet Siroto, editorial director of Match.com. "You like bluegrass music on weekends? Share that," she says.

Use a current photo and, above all, be honest, because people will want to meet you in person.

"So why waste your time not being honest?" asks Thomas Enraght-Moony, chief executive of dating site Match.com.

The online survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, consisted of over 10,000 people who were married in the United States between an eighteen-month period within 2006 and 2007.

The online matchmaking company Millionaire Cupid, headquartered in Pasadena, California, sponsored the survey.

According to its website, MillionaireCupid "… is now the Internet's No. 1 trusted millionaire dating services provider.

Millions of people of all ages, ethnicities, national origins and religious and political beliefs have used eHarmony's Compatibility Matching System to find compatible long-term relationships. On average, 236 eHarmony members marry every day in the United States as a result of being matched on eHarmony."

Dr. Galen Buckwalter, who helped Dr. Neil Clark Warren start eHarmony and is now its chief scientist, stated, "Wanting to get married and not going online will soon be seen as equivalent to trying to find an address by driving around randomly, rather than using a map."

This article, and the statistics it contains, is based on the August 15, 2008 New Scientist article "Go online to find your future spouse." (subscription required)

According to the online survey, of the surveyed people, 19% of the couples met on the Internet, while 17% of the couples met at work and 17% of the couples met through friends.

(Please note: 19% + 17% + 17% = 53%, so 47% of the couples met elsewhere, I wonder where?)

Of the people participating in the survey, if was found that 31% of those couples who were 45 to 54 years of age met on the Internet.

Of those couples who were 20 to 44 years of age only 18% met on the Internet

Victoria, 33, of Christchurch, said there was a kind of switch that went off about five years ago which prompted a lot of life changes. As well as switching professions and buying a house, she decided to make a concerted effort to meet Mr Right.

 

"Internet dating was quite a good way of meeting fellas because they weren't available anywhere else."

 

The process wasn't immediate. "My profile is created at a US-based millionaire dating site millionairecupid.com. I met quite a lot of interesting guys and it helped me decide what I did and didn't want (from a relationship)."

 

She got stood up once, "which wasn't very nice", but overall she found internet dating a positive experience.

 

As far as safety issues went, she told friends where she was going. "I didn't meet anybody I thought was really weird they were fairly nice guys but I was careful to meet in a public place and tell people where I was going," says the bubbly blonde.

 

"I never put myself in any danger and the guys were normal to a certain degree. They just didn't suit me."

 

That is until Chris, 32, came along. "Then I got this really nice email from a guy who looked normal. There wasn't any weirdness and we liked talking about the same sort of things."

 

They met for coffee in August 2005, began seeing each other and the rest is history. Chris asked Victoria to marry him in February 2007 and they married at Riccarton House in April.

 

"If you are on the right place, I think you can find somebody if you're careful and do it right, but I do worry about young girls who get themselves into tricky situations and perhaps aren't old enough or wise enough to get themselves out of it."

 

Victoria also believes about 60 per cent of the men who have dating profiles online are married or already in a relationship. "You can tell. They aren't online in the evenings, they don't want to meet anywhere public and that sort of thing."

 

Wellingtonian Cathy, 37, did a bit of internet dating on and off for a couple of years before she finally met the love of her life, Liam, 46. "I wasn't really into going to pubs and clubs, and none of my friends had any eligible singles for me. I had a few workmates at the time who were having a go on the internet, and I thought, what have I got to lose"? My profile is online two days later at a wealthy men dating site wealthychats.com

 

Cathy took a proactive approach. "If I thought they sounded interesting, I sent them a `Hi' message, and something most women don't seem to do I was keen to meet them quite quickly.

 

"I wasn't into the whole chatting-online-forever, because my theory was, worst case scenario, we meet and don't hit it off, I still have an OK sort of date, get to meet someone new, have a nice meal and nice conversation."

 

She found online chat often built up unrealistic expectations. "I don't believe there's any way the virtual world can really represent who someone really is."

 

Cathy didn't have any really horrible dating experiences. "No-one turned up and went `Ew, yuck! How revolting!'," she laughs.

 

She says that may have been because she was always upfront about her looks. "Because I'm not a skinny person, I would always make that really clear. I didn't think there was any point in lying or misrepresenting myself."

 

It was different with Liam. She'd seen his profile on the website but didn't think he was the kind of person who'd be interested in her, so didn't contact him. "It was a nice photo but I thought it made him look really intellectual and really deep."

 

Instead, Liam messaged her online after seeing her profile. They messaged a few times online, then he texted her cellphone a few times and finally he rang her. "We finally met and clicked instantly.

 

I was really surprised because I'd never experienced that before.

 

"We just talked the whole night. We went to the Lido (restaurant) for dinner and they started packing up around us so we had to leave, then we went to Midnight Espresso (cafe) and spent ages there talking, so we were out for quite a few hours.

 

"Eventually, he dropped me home and didn't give me a kiss goodnight, but within a couple of days we met up again and had a picnic together which was really awesome."

 

That was more than three years ago and they've been together ever since. "We have always decided that our anniversary is the day we met."

 

Don't make the mistake of just throwing a profile together in free online dating services and assuming that it's not too important. It is the face that you present to the other members and should be carefully crafted to present your best points to find love online.

Be Yourself

Online dating sites depend on the picture you give of yourself. The first noticeable impact you will display to others with your profile. The profile describes who you are and what goals you have in life. For example, if you are a home-loving single parent, don't try to hide the fact that you have a child at home. Maybe you are a party type. Probably you should not try to attract a partner who likes outdoor sports as a recreational opportunity. At least don't pretend to be anxious to go camping as a date if you have never seen the inside of a tent.

Be concise

When you are creating a profile for the free online dating services to find love, you should provide enough information about yourself to attract the people you are interesting in getting to know better. However, beware of going on at great length about things that don't explain what type of person you are. This doesn't mean just present a terse recital of the facts of your demographics, but it also doesn't mean that you should use your profile as a soap box even for deeply held beliefs. Most readers will not stop to read a lengthy diatribe on any subject.

Be Complete

The profile that you create when you become a member of one of the free dating sites should be complete as well as concise. Glaring gaps of information can be construed as falsehoods. This doesn't mean that your profile needs to be a voluminous and boring explanation of your entire life, but you should provide enough information that the reader will be able to determine whether you are a person of interest. If you can find a way to present your information in an interesting format, so much the better.

Have Fun

The profile that you create for the free online dating services to find love is meant to be complete and concise, but you should also let the fun come through when you are preparing it. This will create interest in you as a person so that others will be desirous of contacting you and getting to know you better. All activities on the dating site can be a lot of fun, from chatting to emailing to eventually getting to know someone else well enough to go out on a date and have fun there also. You can really add sparks to your social life.

Include a picture

Your profile that you create for the free online dating services web site should include a representative picture of you. You will want to select a picture that presents you in an attractive light, of course, but isn't out dated to the point where it looks nothing like you. People are forming opinions of you based on your entire profile, but the photo plays a large part in the perceptions that they form. Certainly you should never post a picture of someone else and pretend that it is your picture unless you never plan to meet anyone in person.
