5 Tips For Single Dating

Tip # 1 - The Introduction

First impressions count and your initial introduction, particularly on an internet dating site, will be a deciding factor. Single dating is pretty much a hit and miss game and a poor impression will not count in your favour.

Use a recent solitary photograph of yourself on the dating website. A photo of you with your ex-girlfriend or worse, with your ex-girlfriends face cut out of the picture, is not going to make a good impression. Steer clear of group photo's, it makes it difficult to know who you are if they have never met you. Rather use a bad photograph of yourself than no photo at all!

Read their profile and make an effort to respond with a reference to something they have mentioned. A short sentence or two should be enough. If they respond, then take it from there, but do not write a novel length introduction - you will only be more disappointed if they do not respond. This may sound obvious, but use a spell checker if you are not good at spelling.

Tip # 2 - Flirting

Keep it light, fun and be subtle. Sexual advances made too early may well scare off a potential date, particularly if you are too graphic. There needs to be a mutual understanding between both parties, even if the goal is a simple sexual encounter, approach it with finesse.

Tip # 3 - What you need to know

Single dating is about getting to know another person well enough to decide if you would like to meet them and then, if you would like to spend more time with them. Do not be afraid to ask questions about their viewpoints on anything and everything. This does not have to be in an interrogation style fashion, but merely as a way to learn more about them.

Tip # 4 - Playing it safe

Caution is warranted when traversing the world of single dating. Do not be in a rush to divulge personal information, including your home address, telephone number or your place of employment. First get to know your date a little better and be sure you feel comfortable with them before you give them too much information about yourself.

If you at any time feel unsure, pressured, or uncomfortable during your single dating experience, that is a warning sign that something is amiss. Trust your instincts, as your intuition will never steer you in the wrong direction. Do only what you feel comfortable in doing and do not be afraid to back out of a situation that makes you feel nervous.

Tip # 5 - Scare tactics

Sometimes we are blind to our own actions and when you are exploring the world of single dating a few rules should be applied, particularly when it comes to safe topics. Do not discuss emotional wounds from a past relationship on the first date, nor should you focus on negative aspects in your life. This sort of information will very likely scare away a potential suitor. Keep things light, positive and your single dating experience should be a pleasant one.
