Online Personals can work for you
I hate to admit it, but after my divorce my dating skills were rusty. I didn't have a clue where to meet sincere, accomplished men or how to behave once I did.
In my sheltered condition, I couldn't distinguish between an eagle scout who wanted to bring me chicken soup and a convict whose smiling mug was featured on the FBI's top ten list. What to do? A friend tipped me off that quality singles were as close as my computer. Then I scurried off to the local bookstore and stocked up on how-to tips from the dating gurus.
Guess what? Self-help authors pack some useful advice for women when it comes to meeting your match. Here are five lessons that helped me make the most of
our online personals service:
1. Test drive.
Remember that the point of our online personals service is to explore your options. Search for local singles, browse around and communicate with lots of people. Dating is a sensory smorgasbord and a mutual job interview; enjoy the flavorful possibilities. Remember that you're checking out your potential mate's credentials, and there's no obligation to hire someone today. You may be disappointed if a particular connection doesn't pan out, but there's no need for recrimination and regret. Just be grateful you got the heart-wise info you needed early. Take the bumpy road in stride and drive on.
2. You're special.
Believe it. Express this confidence by taking good care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally.
