How to start dating online

You need an email address:

You can sign up for a Yahoo! or Hotmail email address. It is recommended to use a free email address such as Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail. For some reasons, your business email address is not the best for this type of exercise.

Learned to chat:

Learn how to chat (using Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger or any other chat software. Your initial communication is first via email and then by chatting. People are more reluctant to reveal their phone numbers to strangers than their email addresses.

Create an online profile

Visit any of the online communities or social websites and create a profile. Add at least one photo to your profile and provide as much information as possible. There are free online communities like Facebook, Perfspot, Tubely, and others where you will meet men and women who are serious about online dating. There are still various online communities or dating websites that you can search the internet for, however not all of them are free and unfortunately many of them are dominated by spammers.

Search for women using your own criteria

Having registered your online profile, you can now use the online software to search for women who meet your criteria. The criteria can be age, location, city, country, ethnicity, etc. Be sure to check the option to only show those who have photos, as a profile can be considered incomplete if it doesn’t have a photo. This is why you should have your picture on your online profile.

Make friends with others online

Once you find a woman who meets your interests, you can add her as a friend to your profile or send her an email, or both. What you can do depends on the online service you are using and the options available to you. But generally, you can add someone as a friend or you can send a message. Once the person accepts you as a friend, you will have taken the first important step: getting to know the person. This is because you will be able to see the friend’s photos, see a friend’s friends, and see that friend’s activities in the community.
