am recently
divorced after 22 years of
being
married. I have no idea
how people date
today other than what I read or watch on
television. I am fairly active socially
but have not had much
success in dating. I
hear a lot of buzz about
Internet dating but
have no clue how good it is for men like me.
Do you think there is hope
online for a man in
his late 40s who has custody of two
teenagers?"
My first reaction is
that
online dating is the best thing to happen to
the relationship scene since the classifieds.
With these new tools, not only can you be
very specific about what you want, you actually have to do less work than otherwise. Let
me explain. For instance, of course, you will need to
contact potential dates, respond to emails,
chat
online and/or over the phone, and then go on dates,
but insofar as searching is concerned the tools do
it for you. Plus,
women will approach you on
their own too because they are also searching for
that perfect match. In summary, it is a
win-win for everyone. |
How to take advantage
of online dating?
While
it is more efficient and effective form of dating, you
must be committed to it. So select a few good
dating
websites, sign up for the paid options (good websites are
not free or offer nothing much for the free option), get a
nice profile (with a picture of yours that shows you
informally - buy a
digital camera and take it yourself at home), be
proactive, respond promptly when others communicate with
you, and be a gentleman at all times.
Be careful while dating.
Remember you are in a largely unregulated territory.
That is why it is important to delay the
first date till you are convinced that it is worth
your time and money.
Change your strategy if it
does not work after three months. You can try other
websites, redo your personal ad, or rethink what you are
looking for. Trust me, there is someone out there on
the web that is looking for someone exactly like you.
