.: Online dating – you’ve heard about it, might have dipped your toe in the water but you’re probably sat in one of two camps: the ‘it’s for desperate people, but I’m still single’ camp, or the ‘I have/haven’t tried it but think ‘why not it’s worth a go’ camp.  Whichever one you are sat in, there are some great advantages to online dating, so read on and start feeling positive about your dating search source!

.: I read this amazing statistic* that states that 24.3% of singles have used or are currently using online dating services or personals to meet someone. Whoa. Right now there are 15 major subscription-based online matchmaking sites, as well as thousands of smaller, more specialized ones. Like myself, many of my friends have or are giving it a shot, and the last two weddings that I've attended were for couples who met on online dating services.

.: These simple tricks will keep you ahead of the game when searching for love online. 

Determining factors could be:

.: 1. Women want to be treated well. The same rules of gentlemanly conduct that apply in life, apply on the Net. Woman want to be treated well. Respect her and you'll be a winner. Offend her, and you're out of the game.

.: 1. Men have double standards. Many men have a version of the ideal woman they could take home to mom -- and another fantasy woman they'd like to take home to bed. Which role do you want to play? Get clear about this because each game has a different set of rules. Ironically, the game plan for success in one area can be a disaster in the other.
