OK.  So you’ve joined an online dating service and written an awesome profile.  You’ve uploaded a great picture and now you’ve gotten a few emails, and you’re getting ready to respond.  But what now?  How do you start weeding through those responses who have real potential and those who would be a waste of time?

You need to find out about who this strange person really is and not what they want you to believe they are.  It would be great if people wore labels like “Gold Digger”, “Daddy’s girl” or  “Scam Artist” etc., but they don’t. So it’s up to you to find out these things and you can’t just ask direct questions.  You need to know what mistakes you can avoid making and how to impress this person if you decide you want to do that.

After you get past the initial small talk, ask them “What are the biggest mistakes guys/girls make when dating online?”  Listen carefully to the answers.  Their going to tell you a lot about themselves and their views in general, probably more than you asked for, but you will find out a lot.

Next you should ask them, “What do you really think about online dating?”  Now they will usually tell you if they’ve had any bad experiences with dating online and help you to avoid making the same mistakes as previous dates.

Now for the all-important question, ”What caused the break up in your last relationship?”  If he/she puts all the blame on the other person, you should probably move on to the next prospect.  If he/she takes all the blame him or herself, you should probably do the same.  If he/she says the breakup was by mutual consent or that the relationship just wasn’t right for either of them, you’ve heard the right answer.  Move forward but always with caution.

People who Place All the Blame, may not be willing or capable of looking at themselves or their part in the situation. So you would be dating someone who “Has no faults” or is clueless about themselves or having an open and honest mind. People who Take All the Blame can have low self esteem issues and probably don’t see the situation for the way it really was, and probably have a distorted sense of self.

Asking the right questions will give you insight, possibly open your own eyes and make you more confident when you meet the person for the first time.

So what’s a person to do with all these choices?

How to choose the site or sites that best fits my needs?

Here are some things to consider when looking for the Best Gay Dating Sites:

(1)    Cost. How much do you want to spend? or how much can you spend each month for your membership or memberships?

(2)    Features. What features are most important to you?

(A)    Profile matching systems? Is this something you really want or need? Would you rather decide who is right for you by yourself?

(B)    Chat and IM’s? Most dating sites offer chat rooms and IM’s services. Does this matter to you or would you be ok just sticking to private email?

(C)    Outside Events? Some sites offer outside events such as speed dating? Is this something you’re interested in?

(D)    Privacy. Some dating sites allow you to limit who can view your picture or your profile. Is this important to you or would you want as much exposure as you can get?

(E)    Safety. There are dating sites who do background checks of all subscribers and to certify their age, marital status and background. Would you feel safer using this feature?

These are a few things you might consider when choosing an online dating service or services. Use some of these to help you choose the best gay dating sites for you.

Good Luck.

Many of the same things work for online flirting that work for “Offline” flirting and all relationships begin with successful flirting.  Flirting is an art that requires oozing confidence without being OTT(Over The Top).  If you go too far, they will label you as “slimy”.  If you don’t go far enough, they will label you “wimpy”.  So how do you achieve that point half way between slimy and wimpy and do it online without using eye contact or body language?  All you have is a computer, an internet connection and a membership in an online dating site, right?  Listen up! Learning How To Online Flirt is Simple!

1.    Have fun!  Be light-hearted, funny and entertaining.  Make them eager to talk to you again.  Flirting is playful.

2.    You have to Ooze with confidence.  Successful flirts have a positive outlook on life.  You need to transmit the “feel good” factor.  An optimistic attitude attracts partners like honey attracts Bees.  Feeling good is addictive!

3.    Compliment them…and do it often and sincerely.  Nothing opens doors like making the person of interest feel good about themselves.  They will want to spend more time with you and if they pay you a compliment say “thank you”.  Do NOT be self depreciating.

4.    Listen…listen….listen.  Pay attention to what they say and ask appropriate questions.  Get them to open up and talk about themselves.  Make them feel like they are interesting and that you are interested in them.  Listening, Works wonders!

5.    Don’t be rude. Period. Flirting does not include being sexually explicit nor taking offense if the person isn’t responding to you. If they aren’t interested, take the hint and move on to the next prospect.  If you get a lot of rejections, you might want to consider a different approach.

6.    Send an email after you chat.  This ranks right up there with sending a thank you note for a gift and it is vital to successful flirting.  Really, This is Important!

Don’t try to go too fast.  Flirting is the first step to a successful relationship. It is also the thing that keeps a relationship alive and on fire!

Today, online gay dating is one of the most popular systems for meeting someone new to go on a date with. There are many online gay dating websites you can visit and see people who are looking to meet someone new. You can post your picture and create a profile on one of them too.

This will allow you to tell everything about yourself. This way, people can see if you enjoy the same types of activities they do and you can see if certain people look to be like someone you might be interested in.

Online dating has proven to be a successful method for meeting people and setting up dates. Many people have continued their relationships and even been married or connected to a life partner through online gay dating methods.

Relationships through online dating aren’t always successful but you may meet a new friend if you are not compatible for dating.

Gay Online Dating Services are a great way to meet many new people but it is important to remember you also need to be safe. The Internet is not always what it seems and people are not always honest with everything about themselves.

You should be sure when you go on your first date you meet somewhere you feel safe and comfortable with and be sure to protect yourself at all times. Usually this is in a public area or place.

You can have a fantastic experience and meet your perfect match but you don’t want to be a statistic because you believed everything the other person said on the Internet.  Gay Online Dating Services are also a way to screen out undesirables. Don’t jump at the first chance to meet someone, take your time and be safe.
