That is good advice. I shall have to ponder on it and perhaps update my profile in the near future.

@HipMix – thanks for leaving a comment! The number one hangup people have with online dating is meeting people who are not what their profiles said they were. No one is going to say, “I’m a mean bastard”, or “I’m an emotional black hole and I will suck you dry.” People need to be trained to have a better BS detector for the first 10 minutes of meeting a new person. While that’s a lot of pressure for a first date, if you’re congruent with you’re profile, you have nothing to hide.

It takes an incredible amount of courage to reflect on a current relationship and look to see what needs a little work, a lot of work, change, or needs to end. My heart goes out to all who are looking for this courage. May you find it in abundance, and learn to chase your happiness.

@SnowWolf I would have to agree with you — women clearly get more attention than men on dating sites. Part of this is due to women not being used to “shopping” for men, while men are socialized to shop for a mate/lover from an early age. The other part is that of the profiles on these sites, many of the profiles are unattractive, poor pictures, with hardly an attempt to put one’s best foot forward. Men can increase their numbers by improving their profiles, pictures, AND taking a certain amount of concerted effort each week in contacting others and creating opportunities to meet one another with no obligations or strings attached (i.e. meet in a group setting, go to a book signing over a mutually enjoyable author, check out a coffee place, etc).

While your advice is accurate, and most of which I already follow for my OKC account, I would say that being female is a large part of the number of messages you get. I’m lucky if I get 1 mail per month, although I do occasionally get visitors that never send a message (much less a wink).

What a cute article! I loved your stories about Valentine’s past. I’m not a huge Valentine’s fan, but whether or not you do something on the day of, it’s a good time to reflect on your current relationship status and determine if you need to change it, and how.

Kudos to putting yourself out there. Your tips are definitely ones that should be followed. Honesty is terribly important when dating online, because the screen of the internet lets people get away with pretending to be someone else. At the end of the day, you only hurt yourself with dishonesty.

Thanks again for sharing, and best of luck with your date tonight!
