Internet Dating Services can Help…

Posted in Internet Dating Services    

Are you a serial monogamist?  Do you participate in a two- to three-year relationship, are deeply involved, very much in love, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and physically satisfied—then run away, only to launch into another monogamous relationship with the same characteristics?  You are probably also exceptionally busy or active, complete and independent on your own, but at the same time you are particular about your wishes and needs when it comes to choosing the “next one-and-only”.  You feel that it is tough to find that special someone, especially since you believe the experience of dating is necessary as a means to romance and marriage, and given your requirements for the mates you tend to get involved with.

If this sounds like you, don’t worry, you are not alone.  And the internet dating services culture knows this.  For example, one internet dating service—TopDatingTips.com–reveals poll results wherein of those surveyed, 59% believe it is difficult to meet someone special.  62% agree standards and expectations are too high.  And 35% say they hate being single.

But here’s what an internet dating service does to alleviate the pressures and pains of being single and finding someone to change that single status: an internet dating service typically has a generic, traditional section, where you can find friends with like interests—so if you’re stuck with describing yourself, as oh, I don’t know, one who likes to walk on the beach and look at the moon, you can actually find others who have chosen to disclose this same interest.  An internet dating service might also have a more serious “relationship” goal section, where you can search for the ultimate long term relationship—marriage (which 19% of those surveyed above said was the aim of dating to begin with).

As well, an internet dating service that is more cutting edge will have an alternative section (also known as the anything goes, or adult, section) where you can do as you please with whomever you please.  Here you need no serious involvement, no commitments beyond agreeing to using kindness, honesty, and fun as your basis for connecting.

You probably know by now that contrary to grossly over-generalized myths of internet daters being obsessive stalkers, loathsome hound dogs, and skanky wannabes, the people at online dating services are you, me, and us.  They are people who work, who have families, who have interests, morals, values, skills, likes and dislikes, etc., etc., ad nauseum.  And they have similar ulterior goals, needs, desires, fetishes, and motives, and appreciations to yours–if you’re in the right section, the section you can truthfully admit to yourself you want to be categorized in.

So depending upon which phase you’re in—whether you’re looking for mutually-motivated partners for love, sex, bonding, binding, or friendly fondling—you, first of all, are not a freak, and second, will probably be quite content with the contacts you make through internet dating services, and will likely even meet your next long-term mate…if that is what you still want.

Now once you know what you want, why not give an internet dating service a try if you haven’t already?  The hardest part to getting started is just picking the right one (or ones), since there are so many out there now (just as there are so many other people doing it!).  One of the top internet dating services I’d recommend is Lavalife.  The reason is not only is it a popular internet dating service, but it has three sections for you to place your profile on depending upon what you want.  The three sections are: Dating, Relationship, and Intimate Encounters.  This is a fairly unique feature to Lavalife that lets you tell others exactly what you are looking for and to help you find exactly what you want.

In addition, Lavalife is free to join and doesn’t require a monthly fee (you only buy credits as you use the site).  In this respect, Lavalife is truly a pay for what you use experience, which can often save you some money in your quest for that next special someone.  Go ahead and give it a try – just get started!  And if Lavalife is not quite right for you, try a free profile at Yahoo Personals or Perfect Match too.  Both are top notch and effective internet dating services.

Protect Yourself When Using Internet Dating Services

Posted in Internet Dating Services    

As internet dating services are becoming a more typical way of meeting new people, one needs to remember that the people we meet online truly are strangers.  With this in mind, it is important for everyone who chooses to use internet dating services (including men!) to protect themselves just in case Mr. or Miss Perfect isn’t really all that perfect after all.  Below are a few tips for you to protect your privacy while still having fun dating online:

1. Limit the amount of information you provide about yourself.  For example, tell someone what you do for a living but withhold the exact name of the company you work for.  This way you provide avenues for conversation without worrying if Miss Perfect will show up outside of your office door.

2. Withhold personal information such as your email address, phone number, etc.  It is usually best to wait a few conversations until you provide such personal contact information.  Even better, use an internet dating service, such as Lavalife.com, that provides members a way to email each other without using their regular email address.

3. Keep your contact with a new person limited to chat until you know the person a bit better.  This way you can find out if you really like that person before giving him or her a way to contact you more regularly.

4. Be selective about who you share your picture with online.  Eventually, you will probably want to share a picture of yourself because physical attraction is an important aspect of a relationship; however, not everyone who asks needs to see a picture of your pretty mug.

5. Always attempt to form friendships first.  If you can’t be friends with someone, how on earth can you date him or her?  Furthermore, if you are friends, you will instinctively know how much personal information to share with him or her.

Using internet dating services can be a really exciting way to meet new people; however, just remember your personal privacy is more important.  As with any situation, always relay on your common sense and instincts.  If something just doesn’t feel right, end contact with that person because there are many, many, many single fish in the Internet dating sea.
