1. Be honest.
The objective of online dating is to meet someone offline. If you haven’t been totally honest online, it will be more than obvious on your first date!

2. Be alluring.
Give enough information to make prospective dates want to get in contact with you but not too much information that will scare them away. They really don’t need to know that you have picked the names of your future children. Really, too much information!

1.  Be clear about your online dating aims.
Don't pursue a man who you know is looking for a good time when what you really want is a long-term relationship. This is not fair to either you or him.

2. Don't be embarrassed about online dating.
Online dating is pretty mainstream today and if you asked around, you will find that more people have used the Internet to find love than you first thought.
