Online dating is a great way to meet people and then decide if you want to meet in person. It saves you the time and money of meeting someone in person for lunch or dinner only to find out they aren’t for you. Using an online dating site you can see a profile, pictures, and if you are interested get to know each other in emails. In today’s world there are many sites that cater to specific groups such as seniors, Christians, African American, gay or lesbian and many more. If you are an executive you could feel left out by some of the sites. Meeting other executives is easy and simple as there are many sites out there that are exclusively for executives. Executive sites let all age brackets have the chance to meet other to see if they are interested in a possible relationship.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer Internet
  • Pen and Paper
  • Realistic ideals and goals
  1. Step 1
    It's All About You
     
    It's All About You

    Make a list of what you want in your relationship. Keep in mind besides being compatible are you looking for a long term relationship, are you a weekend only person, just friends, or an email pen pal? Make a list of your likes and dislikes and don't be afraid to put them in your profile. Better to be honest than find out down the road you are on different paths.

  2. Step 2
    What Do You Want?
     
    What Do You Want?

    Finding a online dating site can seem overwhelming. With so many out there how do you know which to chose. Start by doing a search for free online executive dating sites. Check the site out and see what you get for free or if you have to upgrade to paid membership are there enough members and benefits for your lifestyle and needs. The sites out there range from free to expensive. It all depends on what you are looking for. Even if you join a site and just be an email pal you can make contacts and build your networking.

  3. Step 3
    You Did It!
     
    You Did It!

    Once you find a free site that interest you and sign up make sure you have time and no distractions you are building your profile and need this alone time. Turn the phone off, TV, radio, or anything else you find distracting. if you are a single parent attempt to do this as soon as the kids are off to school, a play date, or a event where you have time for yourself.
    The first thing you are going to need is a user name. Think of it carefully for it's the first thing people see. Desperate in Wherever is not going to generate a lot of interest. Think before you answer each question as you build you profile, and the parts that have to be written make sure are run through a spell checker and grammar checker. Everyone makes mistakes!
    When you do a search to see who is out there remember to check for how far away they are. If you are just looking for a email pal 2,000 miles is fine but if you do want to see each other now you have a distance problem. Tend to keep it in a 25 or 50 mile radius. At the end of this in links you'll find one to free sites and one to a top rated executive site. Good luck, Happy hunting, most of all be safe!

Tips & Warnings
  • The more honest you are with yourself before you write down anything the better chance of finding someone special.
  • Take your time there is no race to get your profile done. Some sites even let you come back and finish it another time.
  • Edit your profile as it needs it. If you change some way in your life or ideals remember to change it in your profile.
  • If you add pictures always use current ones from casual to dressy. A 5 year old picture is not going to work if you end up meeting they will only think you dishonest.
  • BE HONEST and don't be afraid to say NO not interested or just not reply back. If you have that many emails you can't answer them all. Pick the few that seem to fit you.
  • Never meet someone alone. Always meet in a public place and let a friend know where you are. have your friend call you and use a code word that the other person wouldn't think twice about to let them know everything' s all right.
  • Use your head when emailing prior to meeting if they seem to good to be true they probably are.
  • Never give someone your real name, phone number, or address.
  • If they ask for money no matter how desperate they seem, do not return the emails. There is usually a place on the site to report any problems.
