While trying their hands at online dating, some people find the experience a bit daunting at first. The reason behind it is that they are not prepared for it. If you are new to the field, you can make the online dating experience more enjoyable by sticking to the following rules of the game and make the most out of the online dating world. 
 
The most vital thing in online dating is to be honest with yourself about what you want. Different people think in different ways about dating. Some people want a serious relationship, while some just want to chat or have a casual relationship. Be clear about what you want to get from the online dating experience. When you create your profile on a site, be honest about your intentions, as it will help to attract like-minded people. 
 
Put up a profile that is an accurate representation of who you are. Think about things that you like most about yourself, something that sounds positive. Take advise from your friends to know what they like about you. You profile should be geared towards making people want to get to know you. 
 
Be careful about what information you provide on your profile. It is not a good idea to disclose your telephone or mobile phone number, your social security number and home address as a part of your profile. The information that you provide in your profile is available to anybody who wants to look at it. It is better to first chat online and then exchange numbers. 
 
Never forget to upload your picture, as most online daters prefer to contact people who have pictures on their profiles. Even if you don't consider yourself very attractive, chances are that someone will! 
 
Don't afraid to contact others as they are also on the site for the same reason. If you like a profile, contact the person and let them know this. When agreeing to meet people, always use a public place. Let your friends or family know what your plans are and always call to let them know you are safe and well. It is better to get to know about each other on phone before going to meet them in person. Be careful of people who ask for money at your first meeting. Never lend money to people you have only just met online. 
 
The most important thing to remember is never give up if you are not able to find the right person for a long time. If one site is not working out for you, switch to another site. Don't take rejections to heart and keep trying.

You have to kiss a lot of frogs to meet a prince. I am signed up with a free internet dating site (MillMatch.com). My profile is out there and I get many emails. I talk to the selected person on line for a month or more, then meet for coffee or lunch. I met over 20 guys in 2 months before I found my prize. I don't give out my phone number or true location until I feel i want to see this person again. Just meet in a public place and take it slow until you feel confident this person is not a serial killer. ;-) Do a background check if it makes you feel better. Ask questions. Insist on honesty. Trust your instincts. This is so much safer and effective then meeting someone at a bar or club. On line dating is a phenomena that will only get bigger. Give it a try. PS .. I am over 60..just do it
