Online Dating Tips for the uninitiated
Sunday, June 19th, 2011
The web is overloaded with dating tips, but how many skip the basics or tell you all about the don’ts rather than tell you what to do. Dating sites are a great resource to meet tons of potential partners. That doesn’t mean you need to sail through all of them. It is up to you to decide whether to pursue a relationship or not. One of the most important dating tips is not to be too flirtatious. While flirting is fun, there is always the danger of portraying the wrong impression. So, flirt in moderation. Another big mistake is to bring up your past relationships in the initial stages of communication. This could put your potential match in the wrong state of mind right from the start where he or she will be conscious about every move they make. Moreover, don’t force someone to open up until you are comfortable with each other.
Many dating tips may not include the importance of proofreading your emails before you send across messages to a potential date. Your manner of communication can reflect how you take care of yourself in person, so make sure you take a few minutes to scan through every sentence you write. Here is one of the most essential dating tips you need, which is to have a sense of humor. This is a great way to break the ice and lighten the mood on your first date. Of course, your humor should begin in the chat room and email as well. Just make sure it is in moderation. You don’t have to come across as a Seinfeld or Russell Peters.

Dr Dato’s series on online dating etiquette - Part 5 - Forums and blog etiquette

Article Subject: Dr Dato’s series on online dating etiquette - Part 5 - Forums and blog etiquette
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Most of the online dating sites will usually have a forum and a blog where you can write your own posts and comments respectively. Other dating sites may also have an array of interactive features where you can create quizzes, polls, conduct surveys, play games and more.
The trick for maintaining good etiquette on these parts of the dating site is to understand that your post or comment is being read by many other members of the site. The communication aspect of these features are very different to using say the messaging section where the communication is one to one.
Usually the forum will have a main post where a ‘thread’ of discussion emanates from the topic related to the post. To make an effective contribution to the forum board, requires you to read what has already been written and then write something useful so that the flow of conversation keeps going. Don’t offend other people or ridicule them, be courteous to any responses made on your thread and comments.
One thing to keep in mind about forums and blogs that are tied to the dating site, is that your profile reflects the contributions you have made to the forum or blog. So it is in your interest to make sure that your remarks are good and proper as it reflects in the overall quality of your profile in the eyes of other members.

Dr Dato’s series on online dating etiquette - Part 3 - Opening a message with a member
Sunday, February 20th, 2011
Article Subject: Dr Dato’s series on online dating etiquette - Part 3 - Opening message with other members
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Messaging is an important aspect of online dating and getting this right is all important in getting the attention of female or male members that have caught you eye.
Some of the insights we have gleaned from the Jumpdates database of members activity is that the quality of the message is key to get a higher rate of response. For example, introducing yourself with an opening remark such as ‘hi’ as opposed to say ‘how are you’ has a profound effect on the replies. However, keep in mind that the usage of words is all in the matter of context, for example if you are already engaged in a conversation, ‘hi’ is perfectly acceptable. What we are talking about here is the opening line to a new conversation with a member.
Like all other email applications that we use today, we generally open the email after viewing the ‘from’ and the ’subject’ line, so it is imperative that the subject line has something of interest. A simple ‘hi’ may do the job for some people but to be more effective, try some catchy lines such as ‘Wasn’t the weather dreadful today?’, ‘You will be astounded when you read this..’, ‘Hmm, you are into salsa dancing’, I think you get my drift.
Speaking from the men’s point of view, if you target a woman who happens to be very good looking then you can assume that she will be inundated with many messages. The trick is to sound unique which will create a sufficient interest or buzz for her to open and read your message.
From the women’s perspective, it is generally a good idea to view all the incoming mail, because you may find that a ‘hidden gem’ lurks underneath those unassuming messages.
Try not to be too dismissive and base your opinion on just the mail alone, because a profile description will never be able to replace the face-to-face meeting which can be very different from each other. Like all communication with other people, try to be courteous as possible, I am sure you would expect to be treated in the same manner.
be unique and courteous in your opening line in online dating

A Little Perspective On Online Dating - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Saturday, February 19th, 2011
Article Subject: A Little Perspective On Online Dating
Article Link: http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/a-little-perspective-on-online-dating/2358/
Article Rating: 3.0 (out of 5)
Website: none
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Some good advice in this post from David Wygant an expert on The Naked Truth Behind Dating, Sex and Relationships.
He talks about how to connect with women at an emotional level through the online profile and is targeted towards men in particular.
I too have found that online profiles are generally very static and lacking in substance especially the ones by men. They don’t generally move you in any way.
His argument is that women need some emotional connection with somethings and he gives some good examples. For example if you visited Italy and you said something like “I love Italy”, this naturally sounds boring compared to say “On my trip to Italy, I cruised down the Positano Coast and saw the most amazing sunset you can ever believe”. This stirs up an emotional feeling in people.
He concludes that online dating is more about a conversation than just stating facts and is no different to flirting in a bar, at a supermarket or anywhere else.
