10 Internet Dating Tips for Men

1. If you play it too cool, she’ll go cold. She’s beautiful. She knows it. And so do other guys. This means you need to be in communication with her. I promise you, no matter how sweet, non-conceited and unassuming she is, you are not her only prospect. If you enjoyed the first date, follow up, follow up, follow up! Email or call the next day and thank her for going out with you. Ask her out again within a week, or she may slip away.
2. Instant messaging is fun, twice. If she wanted a pen pal, she would adopt an orphan in Africa. Maybe she already has. Regardless, she wants a boyfriend, bub. That’s hand holdin’, heart poundin’ flesh.
3. Post a photo. She’s may love you for your personality, but she wants to know what you look like upfront before she starts a conversation. Chances are, if you don’t post a photo, she will assume you are either ugly or married, or both! She will probably not waste her time responding.
4. Don’t be cheap. Come on, guys! This lady is beautiful. You think she’s never been taken on a nice date and she won’t know the difference? If you don’t have a lot of cash, impress her with your thoughtfulness or romantic side. A single rose or a small box of fancy chocolates costs less than $5 and goes a long way to a woman’s heart.
5. Don’t expect her to call you. Even if you told her you want her to call you. She doesn’t have to and she won’t. She wants to be with a man who has self-confidence and really: gets how lucky he is, and those guys pick up the phone.
6. Easy, boy! If you play it too hot, going for sex too soon, she’ll go cold. Be generous with compliments, use your manners, open doors, pull out chairs, and keep your tongue in your own mouth on the first date.
7. All beautiful women have mothers. Behave in a way that she knows she can take you home to hers, should the occasion ever arise. (See #6 for details)
8. She won’t chase. Sorry. You may be beautiful yourself and used to women fawning all over you. This one won’t. You will have to initiate contact. Aside from the first contact (if she found your profile first) she will not initiate a call or email to you until after you and she are officially dating.
9. Read her profile and honor it. If she said no drugs, she means it. If she said men ages 30-42, she didn’t mean over 55. She knows what she wants and is not likely to make exceptions.
10. Don’t just focus on her looks. She likes to hear that you think she’s beautiful. And by all means, tell her! But what can you notice about her that no one else has? What can you notice that will touch her heart, so she will think to her self, “Wow, this guy really gets me.”
