General Tips

As with all things in life, you need to approach the online dating game with care and be sensisble. That way you'll get the most fun and enjoyment! A few pointers I think worth mentioning are:

1. Dont exchange contact details too soon. Chat using the onsite message system, and only exchange personal details when you feel confident you can trust the other person. Some people get a cheap pay as you go phone to use for dating purposes.

2. Trust your insticts, as they are usually right. If warning bells start telling you something is not quite right, say thanks but no thanks and move on (there are plenty more potential dates here)

3. Always meet in a public place, and tell a trusted friend where you are going and how long you are likely to be. That way, they can give you a quick call to check it went well and that you are safe.

4. Relax and enjoy yourself - you dont want to be giving off psycho vibes yourself!

5. Dont get completely drunk on your first date - it will affect your judgement and also make you look a bit bonkers.

Anyone got any more gems of advice, or questions? Get posting!

RE:my tip

when on a date, get a good look at their shoes, if they are dodgyscruffy then it aint going nowhere. Good relationships start with good shoes.

I am sure there are plenty of good guys that might wear scruffy shoes! Us blokes are not all as obsessed with shoes as you girls are img src="imagescommonemoticons002.gif"
