There's no doubting the fact that online dating has taken to the internet like a duck to water. Why is that? Well, for one reason, it's working for many single people around the world. Or, at the very least, it can be a viable solution in meeting that special someone. Of course, online dating can be a scary episode for many people, especially women. Being scared is a natural response, and one that is crucial in an effort to be careful. So, the question is, what are nice guys to do? You're just a nice guy looking for a girl to begin a relationship with.
The bottom-line, just be patient. Don't expect any woman to instantly divulge personal information, and don't be impatient by pressing her for such details. Keep the conversation light, be confident, and include a little fun and humor with it. As time goes on you'll both begin to be comfortable with other and eventually you can start talking online. Once again, be patient and don't rush through things such as asking for a face to face meeting. This will only upset the circumstances and cause a reverse action.
Be authentic about yourself, your appearance, your career, and so forth. Successful relationships, especially with online dating are never built on things that are solely fabricated. The fact is, the truth will eventually come out, so be genuine in your communication.
With any type of online dating, don't rely on just your profile picture. Afterall, pictures are said to be worth a thousand words, so post as many pictures of yourself as possible. Make sure they depict the activities that you like doing, and make sure they are full body shots and not just head shots of yourself.
As soon as the communication between both of you have flourished and you have agreed to meet in person, be the one who first suggests a public meeting place. Make sure your first encounter is during the daytime, say for coffee or lunch. You might also suggest that she bring along friend. Remember, you want to be open about your relationship, which basically means you have nothing to hide. You've been genuine in your communications and she has seen the many pictures you posted of yourself. The important step now is simply to make her feel safe in actually meeting you for the first time.
