I was interviewed by Fox News on this topic (you can view the video clip on either

or my signature file below), I thought it might be interesting for this post, and see if anyone has anything to add or take away. I am always open to new ideas:

 

Top 10 Do’s of Online Dating

 

1. Do.. Be honest in your personal ad and in any emails or online conversations.

2. Do.. Post a current Photo

3. Do.. Make your intentions clear; Date, Friend, Long-term relationship, Marriage or NSA (no strings attached)

4. Do.. Exchange extra photos if the ones posted aren’t clear enough for you.

5. Do.. Phone date first. Once comfortable, arrange to meet in person.

6. Do.. Meet in a well-populated place like a Coffee House or Juice Bar.

7. Do.. Drive yourself to the meeting place.

8. Do.. Be on time

9. Do.. Keep the conversation light-hearted, be yourself, have fun.

10. Do.. Be courteous when parting ways. If both parties consent, share a quick hug and plan another date! If not, politely move on.

 

Top 10 Don’ts

 

1. Don’t.. Use your real name in your profile.

2. Don’t.. Include your ex-spouse or significant other in the picture.

3. Don’t.. Hop from a single email to weekend getaway.

4. Don’t.. Meet in a deserted Railroad station, Swamp or Industrial Park

5. Don’t.. Rely on your date for transportation.

6. Don’t.. Confuse shyness or nervousness on your first date for lack of interest.

7. Don’t.. Overindulge in alcohol or any other mood altering substance that might cloud your ability to stay alert and cautious.

8. Don’t.. Say, “I’ll call you” if you don’t mean it.

9. Don’t.. Torture yourself by looking over photos of someone you are no longer dating.

10. Don’t.. Make a fool of yourself by stalking a cheating lover.

I don't mean to be rude...it's nothing new here...these tips are found everywhere.

 

I met tons of people and I didn't need to read any of the do's and dont's... it's just common sense...

 

I know you will tell me that there are still people who don't have any 'judgement or common sense' and I will agree to that.
