Are you lonely and looking for Mr. right or Ms. right? Here is the how to on finding the right person the right way by online dating.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    First,do a search on Google or yahoo, putting in the words dating online or singles. You will find tons of dating sites. Pick out just a couple to begin with.
    Secondly, you will need to set up your profiles in these sites. I recommend that you have a recent facial shot available for the profile. Do not lie on your profile. You do not have to tell a lot of personal things on your profile either. Be truthful about your age especially.

  2. Step 2
    Online Dating
     
    Online Dating

    Here is a formula I call the pyramid of online dating. Starting at the bottom of the pyramid: A. Email from dating site - Here is where the initial attraction begins. This is where you stay until you feel more comfortable with the person. When both parties feel comfortable, you can: B. Exchange personal email address to get to know each better.

  3. Step 3

    After the personal email exchange, you may feel like the relationship is moving to a more personal level, even though you haven't met face to face. This is a good sign and shows that both parties are patient enough to work in a slow process.

  4. Step 4
    Making the date
     
    Making the date

    When the time seems right for both parties, then phone numbers can be exchanged. This should only be done if both parties agree and no one should feel pushed into it. This is the stage where you will probably either eventually make a date to meet each other or not. Talking on the phone can be hit or miss. It can be awkward sometimes but sometimes it's like you've known the person forever. If it is awkward don't give up as it may get better. Once you've agreed on your first date, you will see that you've given this relationship the best chance you can, because you've gotten to know each other slowly which will give your possible relationship the very best chance.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't lie on your profile.
  • Take your time in getting to know someone.
  • Don't judge anyone by just their picture.
  • Be positive.
  • Don't move too fast.
  • Don't be in such a hurry to meet in person.
  • First dates should be in a public place.
  • Don't give out personal information, like your address, to anyone until you know them and trust them.

on 7/1/2008 Very interesting. Lady luck might give a hand.
One bit of advice, dont get hooked and become a butterfly. Some do. Give a person a chance, sometimes the attraction is hidden beneath preconceptions.
