Before you dive head first into the scary waters of online dating you first need a plan. Are you going to take the preferred route and reveal all about yourself or create a secret online avatar to test the waters.
If you are unsure about this whole online dating scene and feel that you want to dip your feet in before getting wet the second option of faking it out for awhile would be the best option.
You see signing up for an online dating site requires you to divulge a significant amount of information about yourself to the world or at least to the dating site in question.
If you are prepared to be honest (recommended) with people and get the most out of the experience then paying for an online dating service and really fleshing out your profile with hobby information and likes and dislikes speaks volumes to other members.
Or you could always just use a pen name for awhile and use the option of hiding your birthdate if thats something you feel slightly embarrassed about.
All I’m saying is that you DO have these options
Hey its the internet and you can be just about anyone you want so dont feel pressured into filling every form out down to your social security number!!!
You are the one in control of your dating profile as well as who you accept as a friend.
Dont feel bad rejecting friend requests or not replying to emails in your inbox.
Your online dating plan of attack is very important because it often defines the success you get on the inside of the dating site itself.
Set up this dating plan before you sign up so that you are all ready before you begin.
