"Free" is a very relative term. It may be free if it costs you nothing to join,
nothing to kiss, nothing to meet, nothing to chat, nothing to play games,
nothing to scam, nothing to hunt, nothing to kill. The point is that the same
site that is free for you is also free for the game players, the scammers and
the predators of the world. No website is "free". It can't exist without either
income or donations. Income is derived from either membership fees, advertising
or product sales. Donations are charitable and hardly apply to a dating website.
"Free" dating websites make their money from advertising. If they don't care
about your fees, then they don't care about you. You are a number, not a person,
or more specifically not a "member".
First tip of online dating tips for women over 40, do not
write your lie story out when you are chatting together. Writing too much about
yourself at once may cause them to become uninterested. Answer the questions
they ask and provide more details if they ask for them. In addition, show them
that you are interested in getting to know them as well. For example, if they
ask what kind of pets you have, let them know and then ask them the same. Once
you get to know each other better and are dating more, you will end up giving
each other more details without even asking, and you will both be interested.
But for right now, they need to see that you can not only hold a conversation,
but you can listen to them as well.
She is only a phone call away. When
chat won't do, hear her out - make the call. A simple telephone call may tell
you whether her voice is honest, whether her heart is true, whether her soul is
deep.
Determine the type of person you want to meet. Decide this before
you even begin the online dating process. Online dating sites typically use a
search engine tool to help select people that are a close match to what you
want. This is determined by the information you've entered when you join the
site. If it's not narrowed down, you'll have far too many results to possibly
filter through.
Don't allow yourself to get hooked on online dating for
its own sake, but just use it as a means to an end of meeting new people. This
will be easier if you have set yourself a particular goal (see
above).
Imagine meeting the person you always dreamed of - someone, you
discover, you really like to spend time with... and the feeling grows... your
minds click... and you discover the magic that has eluded you so long, is real
once more. Notice how that feels! Isn't it just amazing?
If you're game
is lacking, than I highly recommend online dating. You can practice and sharpen
your skills in a very controlled relationship. I do feel women have a distinct
advantage on internet dating sites. A good looking girl will get hundreds of
hits where as a guy has to spend a lot of time and effort with winks and emails
just to get to the gate.
