Dean Answers Questions About Online Dating Advice

Any advice for closing the deal when dating online?

I am new to online dating and have recently joined a dating site. I have a ton of beautiful women stopping by to check my profile but they do not leave a reply or message. What gives, are they just window shopping? My online etiquette may be wrong, should I follow up with each profile that checks me out?

Help! Online Dating Advice?

Been talking to a man online for a month now. We’ve hit it off amazingly. We have the same sense of humor and we both play the same type of sport in our weekly leagues. He compliments me a lot on my looks, asks about my day and kids, tells me he likes me, and says he would like to meet with me to play our mutual sport together. He’s made informal plans for us to get together sometime in the next month to play our sport together. He doesn’t have a profile picture up, so I asked him to post one. He said he doesn’t do pictures and refused to put one up for me to see. The next time we talked, I flat out asked him if the reason he doesn’t have a picture up is because he’s married or has a girlfriend, and he said “No, I just don’t do pictures”. He stated he would never be online if he was married and said it would be wrong. Every time I ask him to describe himself he’s very evasive, short, and very non telling. Some weeks later I asked him if he wanted to exchange phone numbers for calling or texting, and we did, but he says he’s not one to talk on the phone really, so we have been texting a lot back and forth. Just don’t understand why he won’t put a picture up or call me if he likes me. He appears interested cause he tells me so, and every time I log on and if he’s on, he instant messages me immediately and we chat for awhile. Just don’t know what’s up with him. Should I give him a chance or just move on? I really like him a lot and this sucks. Any input would be greatly appreciated..

Hi just looking for advice from people with experience using online dating sites?

What’s some etiquette advice for online dating?

I’m a 22 yr old female who’s thinking about giving online dating a try — I live in a small town where it’s hard to meet someone. Believe me, I have tried many ways. I also have my preferences; I’d like someone of the same beliefs/morals, etc. I don’t want to meet someone at a bar/club or something of that nature. Unlike a lot of people my age, I want to find someone & settle down fairly soon. I take relationships pretty seriously. (just wanted to give some background info if it helps for giving advice). Anyway, what are some good tips for online dating? What do you do if you get contacted by several people? How do you narrow it down? If you’re interested in someone & dont want others contacting or bothering you, how does that work? I just want to go into this at least having some knowledge & advice.. Its greatly appreciated. Thanks!
