Have you ever tried to introduce yourself in a night club or a bar? I am sure you have. Do you say "Hi my name is"... my telephone number and my address is such and such... No I thought not.

Tell the people you are emailing your true intentions and it should be the correct path to successful dating. Always remember, that you must use your common sense and judgement. I know it is not easy to judge who you are contacting on the other side so please assess who you are being honest with.

Make sure your photos are recent preferably less than 6 months old) and that you are happy. Members with photos are likely to get up to 9 times more replies than members without any photo image attached to their profile.

* Dating Tip #7

Always try and reply to people's messages and reply in a reasonable amount of time, not weeks later. If you are serious about dating, you are serious about replying. They have taken the time to talk or write to you and they may be really nice.

* Dating Tip #8

Has it ever happened to you where you are talking to a stranger and you are wondering what they look like? Our brains tend to create an image in our mind of what someone might look like. It is only our natural instinct to do so. If you ever meet or met the person they did not look anything like you had in your mind? Am I right? Of Course. Unfortunately none of us are psychic so I suggest you you ask for a picture and you can feel more comfortable with whom you are emailing.

* Dating Tip #9

Always and I mean always meet your date in a mutual place during the day which both of you are comfortable with. Always advise a friend or a relative of where you are going and leave a contact number. Do not leave any Drinks unattended. Unfortunately and it must be said that we live in cruel and sick world. Please if you have an alcoholic drink then please drink moderately.

* Dating Tip #10

Be Realistic. Most fairytale stories do not have a happy ending. If they sound perfect fit , it does not necessarily mean send the wedding Invitations out yet. If this date does not work out do not worry it will not be your last first date. If it does not lead to a next date then pack your bags and move on to the next potential candidate on your list. Do not be put off.

Remember there are plenty of fish in the Sea. So make sure you choose wisely.
