Is online dating good?

I met my boyfriend of seven months online.

Hi there,

The majority of individuals that attempt online dating will actually overlook what some of us consider blatant red flags. One of these would be to avoid people who are consistently trying to get you to meet up with them sooner than you're comfortable to. These are the types of people who would mention meeting up within the first 15 or 20 minutes that you start talking. Avoid these types of people at all costs for your own safety. Keep in mind that no matter what happens or what someone else says, it's your life and they can't guilt trip you into anything bad.

The types of people you should be looking for on an online dating services are those that are patient and will wait for you to be mentally ready to meet up with them physically. Never reveal too much information to someone on a dating site as they literally could find out everything about you by even knowing your last name. Make sure that you explore any privacy settings that the website may offer for you to use as these are a great safeguard against people that will try to take advantage of you.

Also don't forget to explore other types of dating websites. If you're currently looking at SinglesNet and have no luck, try looking into another one such as Mate1. The people on these different sites are always different, rarely does one person have accounts on all of them - and it's even more rare that if they did they'd find you on all of them. Make sure you check the security settings on all of the sites as your very first thing to do when visiting. It will only take a few minutes to go through all of these and set it up, and you won't have to ever set it up again for the site.

One of the most overlooked factors when setting up an online dating account is to make sure you don't reveal too much information, as I said earlier. The first thing that isn't usually thought of is: do you have any identifying items and/or locations in your profile picture. If your name is John Smith and you're from Paris but you don't want people to know where you live, don't choose the picture where you're on your balcony with the view of the Eiffel Tower in the background. It's a complete waste of your privacy attempts and most likely will not help you out in the long run.

Try this website out,it proved to work quite well with me :

I hope you find your soul mate there :) lol

There is nothing wrong with online dating and you should have been more mature about your brothers choice, all the online dating has replaced or advanced is the traditional lonely hearts columns in papers. With online dating you can access a wider range of suitable or potential partners, you can get to interaact with them more but at the end of the day as well its what the individual is comfortable with in their quest for love.

theres nothing wrong with meeting a women over the internet.

as long as the two plan to meet in the near future, then it sounds plenty fine to me,

but if this is just computer love and your brother has no intentions of meeting her, tell him to let it go!

I have a lot of experience in online dating and have written an article about it, hope this helps...
