The internet
has made things easy today. You can find a date that matches your
taste by age, color, race, tribe, divorced, widowed or any other you
desire.
Commonly known
as online dating, this gets you a date just by the touch of a
button. However, there are points you should put observe when going this
direction.
Keep
romance out of the picture
Avoid getting
intimate with a person whom you have just met online. An amazing number of
men/women who put up fake smiles leave shortly after a single fling. Let the
romance stay out until you are convinced that they are legit unless you want to
be chips-fungwad.

Do not rush
things
It does not
matter if your biological clock is ticking faster than a speeding bullet or you
are tired of being single; try to take these things as slow
as possible in order to buy time and learn the other person.
Be ready
for disappointments
A remarkable
number of people using online dating services pose driving expensive cars
that may have been hired or having drinks in posh restaurants while
in reality, they are nothing close to the elegant lifestyle they display.
It's good to be ready to learn things you didn’t expect of them.
Meet face
to face regularly
Many people
hide behind gadgets posing as businessmen or car brokers only to be uncovered
as fraudsters. The same applies to dating, meet regularly and in
public to be able to physically and emotionally gauge the other person. Be
interested to know her/his friends scrutinize his/her behaviors carefully,
stay alert and attentive. Take off if you notice any red-flags.
Do not put
expectations
Do not push
your agenda to get married when you barely know this person. Enjoy the fun that
comes with dating and don't sweat it until the both of you are sure
you want to settle. As the proverbial saying goes “It is only a fool that tests
the depth of a river with both feet.”
Armed with these
precautions, you can now step boldly into the world of online dating and find
your dream spouse.
