How to Date a Guy Online
- 1). Choose a dating site that suits your needs. There are several dating sites to choose from, and many have various approaches to matchmaking. For example, some sites allow you to view everyone's profile and allow everyone to view yours, and then you can send an email to someone if you like their profile or someone can send an email to you. Other dating sites give you a test that determines certain things about your personality and then matches you with someone they think you would be compatible with.
- 2). Put up a recent picture of yourself because your profile should present you honestly to potential mates. Use a picture you feel confident about.
- 3). Use wit and charm to make your profile stand out. People will be judging you by what you present to them in your profile.
- 4). Do not give out any personal information you feel uncomfortable sharing. Wait to meet someone in person before you decide to share certain information.
- 5). Research the person you will be meeting. You can do a general Internet search to find out work information and other aspects of this person that you may want to double-check.
- 6). Meet for the first time in a public place. Even if you've talked on the phone every night for a month, you still won't know how comfortable you feel around your online boyfriend until you've met him in person. Make sure a friend knows where you are in case you become uncomfortable and decide to leave.
- 7). After you've met in person, you can begin to treat the relationship more like a standard dating relationship.
- 8). Remain optimistic. Online dating takes a bit of trial and error, and you may not meet your desired mate on the first try.
