RSVP, On-Line Dating

Some tips for on-line dating - hope they will save you some hurt and disappointment!

1. Get a good photo of yourself - that looks like you at your best ...but now, not 5 years ago
2. Ask a trusted friend or relative to help you choose who might suit you. We often choose someone who will in some way fulfil a dream, that is rarely someone who would really fit with us in the long term
3. Get a prepaid mobile and use that number until you feel that he or she isn't a stalker
4. Talk to them early - it is easy to project our dreams onto someone in an email. You want to find out the reality as quickly as you can
5. It takes 4-8 weeks for people to start showing their real selves. Know that initially you are just seeing the holiday brochure version of them
