No matter what your age, height, weight or physical appearance, there are thousands of possible partners out there eager to meet you and enjoy your company.

Perhaps you have found yourself unexpectedly “on-the-market” again after a relationship has ended or maybe you have been too busy with your work to spend a lot of time looking for a partner to keep you company, it doesn’t matter because online dating can open the door to the dating scene for you.

The good news is that all you need is a computer and an internet connection to get started.

Don’t sign up with the first dating site you find! Have a good look round to find the one that fits your needs. Some of the larger sites offer many extras such as live video chat. Some will even match you with potential partners by comparing profiles. Many online dating sites cater to special market sectors and cater for religious preferences, outdoor enthusiasts, gays, etc.

A word about the free dating sites. This is reporting on personal experience which has shown that the potential partners it’s possible to meet on the free sites are not always as reliable as you would want them to be. Many don’t actively participate on the sites and you can spend a lot of time trying to contact people who may not even exist.

The advantage of the paid sites is the level of commitment from all participants. The communities seem to be more real and the level of response is much higher. And, remember, the good dating sites all offer a money back guarantee if you aren’t completely satisfied with your experience of the site.

When you register with your chosen site spend time completing your profile. Two essentials here:

1. Be Honest
2. Upload a good quality and recent photograph

Once your profile is approved you are set to go. Don’t wait to be contacted by others. Participate and reach out. If you like the look of someone’s profile or photograph drop them a line to let them know.

Treat others as you would wish to be treated. Respond to everyone who contacts you. If you are not attracted to them, let them down gently. You can say what you mean without saying it mean! If anyone becomes a nuisance block them from contacting you – it doesn’t happen often but the facility is there is you need it.

No-one can predict where your online dating experiences will take you but there is no doubt that it is an excellent way of getting yourself back into the dating game.

1. Be light-hearted. Be funny. Be entertaining.  Remember that flirting is a play form. If you both have fun you’ll both look forward to meeting up again.

2. Be confident. Be positive. Be optimistic. It doesn’t matter what curved balls life has thrown at you, this is a fresh start and a new opportunity.

3. Offer sincere compliments. There is a lot of good in and about everyone – find it and comment upon it. Most people are very aware of their failings – they don’t need those highlighted. If you receive a compliment, simply say thank you and appreciate the gesture. Don’t spoil the moment by making some self-deprecating throw away comment in return.

4. Pay attention to what the other is saying. If you have audio this means listening. If you are on chat, read what is being said. In both cases ask thoughtful questions which prove you have paid attention and that you are interested. Be genuinely interested. Be curious about the other person. Invite them to talk about his or her self. Your turn will come.

5. Never, ever be rude. Even if you experience rudeness there is no need to be rude in return. Don’t take offence and don’t be sexually explicit and give offence. Not everyone will be interested, such is the way of the world and it’s not the end of the world. Just thank them for their time and move on to the next candidate.

6. Acknowledge your online flirting partner with an email after your flirting session. This is the equivalent of sending a thank you note. Let them know how much you enjoyed the encounter – everyone likes to be appreciated.

You are going to be without a lot of the usual visual clues during an online flirting session so don’t try to go too fast. Don’t be too bold. Enjoy the process and increase the pace gently. Online flirting is the first step in your online dating encounters. Enjoy it!

When you join an online dating site to look for that special someone you’ll want to get things just right.

Unfortunately, it’s very easy to get things horribly wrong! And if you make any or all of the 3 common online dating mistakes you can end up alone and unhappy.

In the offline or real world, all communication is supported by body language. In fact, it’s thought that as much as 70% of communication is non-verbal. This is the subtle nuances that our subconscious is able to read from a face to face encounter.

When operating online, these inputs are not available which makes it important to get the verbal communication right.

Be confident but not aggressive

Be aware that any form of aggression will be an immediate turn off for most potential partners. There is a world of difference between being confident and being aggressive – and this goes for men and women. Aggression may be a trait associated with the sterotypical male but woman are equally capable of stepping over the line. Remember, you are not trying to close a business deal you are simply trying to make a friend and keep the relationship progressing at a slow but steady pace.

Be realistic – we are all flawed!

In this imperfect world, nobody is perfect. We are all flawed – and that includes you. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by demanding perfection in others when you cannot offer it yourself. Decide which imperfections you can live with and which are intolerable to you. Be honest in your profile. If you cannot bear cigarette smoke, chances are a relationship with a smoker is going to be very brief. You can say what you mean in your profile – you don’t have to say it mean!

Honesty is essential

It can be very, very tempting to cover up imperfections with those harmless little white lies that everyone tells from time to time. This is dooming any potential relationship to failure. When you are found out in little lies you will not be trusted over the important issues. Trust is an essential for any relationship and trust is absent from a relationship built on lies and fabrications. Be honest from the beginning. Write your profile and make it interesting and honest. The truth has a horrible habit of coming out at the least opportune moment. You have been warned.

The 3 online dating mistakes to avoid? Being aggressive rather than confident. Demanding perfection when offering imperfection. Being less than honest about yourself, your attributes and your abilities.

Avoid making these mistakes and you will enjoy your online dating experiences.
