Online Dating Dos and Don'ts
Dating etiquette has always been confusing -- and now online dating has only made matters more complicated. Here is a guide through the modern mores of online and offline dating: Before the date: Do exchange photos. You want to know what it will look like. Don't post a photo from your hot days in younger years. Choose a flattering picture, but don't advertise goods you can't deliver! During the first date: Do provide details about yourself. Share just enough information about yourself that your date will be itching to learn more. Don't go overboard in revealing personal information about yourself. On the first meeting. Do stick to positive and relatable topics in your conversation. Discuss work, movies, etc. Don't try something that you might not be able to pull off. If you attempt to fake a skill, you'll crash and burn. Do show off a special talent as long as you come off confident and fun. If things don't work out and you want to end the relationship: Don't pull a disappearing act. So it's best to come clean! Do bow out gracefully. Avoid doing the slow fade. Don't break up over e-mail or phone. Do break up in person. |
