Choose a solid Internet service provider; then find a room where the people are friendly, the views and interests expressed are similar to yours, and there is no pressure to become intimate too quickly.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

    Sensible Approach

  1. Step 1

    Find a reliable Internet service provider or online service such as America Online, EarthLink, Microsoft Network or Prodigy Internet.

  2. Step 2

    Check out the service's chat areas. Find out how the chat rooms are labeled.

  3. Step 3

    Sample various rooms and get input about them from regulars.

  4. Step 4

    Avoid rooms where overt sexual comments or "flaming" (insults) are commonplace.

  5. Step 5

    Read the personal profiles of the participants.

  6. Step 6

    Settle into a room where you feel comfortable, and visit it regularly.

  7. Step 7

    Be patient, but always be on the lookout for potential love interests.

  8. Step 8

    Use e-mail and private chat sessions to get to know possible candidates for romance.

  9. Step 9

    Plan your first date, but only when trust and friendship have been established.

  10. Casting a Wider Net

  11. Step 1

    Use your Internet service provider to access a major search engine such as Google, Yahoo!, or MSN.

  12. Step 2

    Search for chat areas associated with your interests. For example, type "cooking chat" in the search box and hit Enter.

  13. Step 3

    Visit Web sites that sound appealing. Try their chat rooms.

  14. Step 4

    Become a regular in a busy chat room.

  15. Step 5

    Read profiles of people you find appealing, or start a dialogue by sending someone an instant message or just talking during the open chat session.

  16. Step 6

    Exchange e-mail addresses.

Tips & Warnings
  • Spend plenty of time investigating sites with chat areas. Some may be too superficial or sexually oriented for your tastes, but you will eventually find good spots to gab and make new friends.
  • A few links to excellent sites with lots of chat rooms are included on this page.
  • Many chat rooms attract vicious individuals who enjoy "flaming" or purposely shocking newcomers. Be prepared for their outrageous antics, but don't let them drive you completely away from online communication.

on 11/22/2005 If dating online is a last resort, start local. Widely domestic and even international Internet relationships are quite impractical and should be avoided.
