Share what you have learned through your online dating experiences here. Others can learn from your wisdom and experience.

Be wary of scanned photos or no photos... Scanned can be 10 years old, no photos they can describe themselves but not be true.

Know what you are after as you read profiles. Steer clear of negative messages, or needy people, or just broken up...

Communicate, let her "not" give you her number and don't ask for it straight away or MSN, or a date, talk to her. She is sick of getting here's my mobile, here's my MSN address if you want a chat, want to arrange a coffee date? On the first click or second. Be a bit allusive.

Don't be doing it for fun, the women on the sites are real most of the time, in as much as wanting a relationship. There are other sites if you want a woman for "fun" who is eager, ready, willing and able.

Post " I am here not because i "need" a relationship but because i'm ready for one", a sure winner...

Don't post:- You must have, must be, .... .that's a wish list...

Be open to her in your descriptions, she can be slim, a bit overweight etc, not "slim" only...

Post you love communication / passionate about things in life, only if you are...

Do take precation while dating.
