Frustrated That You Don't Measure Up to Online Potential Partners’ Demand?

By

Have you ever been intimidated after reading some of the online dating site profiles out there? Do they make you feel like your boring and your life could never match that? You don't need to worry about that. Your life is not like that, it is what you want it to be. Some profiles sound so exciting, but do you really want to jump out of an airplane? Exciting for someone else...Yes. Exciting for you? NO WAY!

You cannot worry about meeting the expectations of the people who will read your online profile. If they think your not adventurous enough for them, how much fun would it be to date them. You may find that thought intimidating, but would you even want to date someone like that? No of course not, so don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You only have to live up to your own expectations, and values, and you want to meet someone who enjoys you and your life style.

You have to toughen up a little. If you plan to join an Online dating site you may have to grow a little thick skin. You will be rejected by some of the people on the site. You may date 10 new potential partners, and not click with any of them. And they may not click with you. It is truly not a personal thing. You, and they, are looking for someone you both feel comfortable with. Why continue , if you know it won't go anywhere. Some of these dates may recognize that you would be a great friend to have, and it's always great to meet new friends.

You need a little extra nerve the first time you post your profile on your online dating site. People can be less sensitive over the Internet than they would be in person. Again, remember, it is not a personal thing about you.

Just realize that with all this, there are thousands of people finding their soul mate, their true love, on the Internet. It is worth kissing a couple of frogs to find your prince, isn't it? Think of you first experiences as learning the ropes. Make sure you have a good feel of whom you are talking on line to and soon you will get a sixth sense about who is being honest, and who isn't. There are a lot of shallow people out there, but there are many more sincere ones.

Don't lower your own expectations. but be flexible as well. If you have a set list of everything a potential date needs to have, you may miss some really great people. Give the people you decide to date a chance before you make up your mind. What if you meet a guy who isn't as good looking as the one you dreamed of meeting. He may have everything else, and how will you ever know?

There are many people joining online dating sites who are as open and honest and loving as you are. Don't miss meeting them because they don't match your list of the perfect mate exactly. You may find one who tops your list, but you have to date him first to find out.

Being rejected by a date can be a blunt thing. But don't let your feelings be hurt by this. The other party may not find you the love of their life, and may not even want to try to get to know you. It can hurt your feelings, but really, do you want to date someone that shallow minded? No way! Their loss is your gain. You are better off without them. Shake off any bad or hurt feelings and move on. Your one step closer to finding the perfect match for you.

Online dating can eliminate the first impression you have when you meet your date in person for the first time, but it can also help you learn more about the person's personality before you actually meet them. You can take all the online time you need to see if this is a person you really want to go out with.
