  3. Step 3

    Get yourself a notebook, keep track of all the contacts you make. This will keep you from making silly mistakes

  4. Step 4

    Don't get too emotionally involved with it, it can be addictive, treat your dates as if you just met them out somewhere.

  5. Step 5

    Don't expect every date to be THE ONE, its unrealistic. Even after 20 great phone conversations, meeting in person is different.

  6. Step 6

    Most people aren't what you thought they were in person. On the phone you can be whomever you want. Be prepared for fake photos, fake personalities, and people out for one thing. Yes, men and women. Of course this all depends on what you are looking for.

  7. Step 7

    Be safe, this applies more towards the women,. Always meet in a public place, always get their number first. Have a friend go and hang in the background or have them call you at a certain time so you can have an "out" if need be. Don't give out your address, or any personal information. Sometimes even a last name is bad for a few dates

  8. Step 8

    Remember that person is on a dating site too, unless you guys decide to get serious, they are dating other people as well, that goes with the territory. Make sure this is established first so no one gets hurt.

  9. Step 9

    Always be safe intimately! You know what i mean, especially if your out for one thing

  10. Step 10

    Always be yourself, that's what you want people to like you for, anything else is not being honest with the other person or yourself.

  11. Step 11

    Single moms and dads, be extra careful, remember that person you end up dating will also be around your kids eventually. Keep them out of the picture until you feel real comfortable, but always be honest with the person you are dating, it's gonna come out eventually. Lay it down right away!

  12. Step 12

    Try to have fun and not take it too seriously, it can be a great learning experience, and help you figure out what you want and don't want. Take breaks once and a while it can get tiring. I did find my wife this way so there is hope!
