Dealing with Email Responses That Show Little Interest

Posted by:

A reader recently wrote in to ask about dating conversations where the person you are talking with responds but with little or no apparent interest:

If you are conversing with someone via email (regardless of who initiates the conversation) and you respond with a short paragraph and question and they always responds with one or two sentences, does this mean that they are really not interested. If asked a question I answer the question plus give some background and ask another ...

No Apologies or Excuses in First Emails!

Posted by:

apologize
Photo by °Florian

In my article on writing first emails using online dating, I discuss what should and should not be in your emails. I wanted to expand on that topic to include a pattern I’ve seen recently: apologizing or making excuses when contacting other singles.

Apologizing in First Emails

For whatever reason, some people see apologizing as the preferred ...

The Loneliest Days of the Week

Posted by:

When I first started providing dating advice, I had assumed that I would have more visitors to my site on the weekends. My thinking was that people would be reminded of being single the most on the weekends and therefore would be looking to solve that problem then. Well, that theory turned out to be incorrect – at least as far as my site statistics are concerned. For as long as I’ve been tracking the traffic to my site I ...

The 10-Day Online Dating Challenge

Posted by:


Photo by ground.zero

According to a new Match.com commercial I’ve been seeing lately, 1 in 5 relationships are now started through online dating services. Still, even with that fact, there are a large number of singles who believe that online dating does not work, or at least not for them. With that in mind, I wanted to ...

What Should I Include in My Dating Profile?

Posted by:

Through this blog, from time to time I find myself reviewing profiles. One of the most common problems I see is the tendency for people to share a little too much, a little too fast. Often the extra details are confusing but other times they are damaging. In either case, the profile isn’t strengthened by it. I wanted to briefly discuss the idea of intentionally being aware of what you are revealing about yourself in your dating profile.

Interesting Videos on Online Dating and Relationships

Posted by:

Someone recently pointed out to me some very interesting dating videos on YouTube. I watched quite a few of these and have to say they’re very interesting. I disagree with some of the advice given, but there are so many people interviewed I guess this is to be expected.

One video I really liked was about safety when dating online. The advice here was good and I really like the advice given regarding dating people who are closer to you ...

Why Haven’t Free Dating Services Beaten the Pay Services?

Posted by:

Recently I found myself reading some commentary in a forum where the person was stating that they believed no one should ever pay for online dating with all the free services available. As frequent readers of this site know, I am a big fan of taking advantage of free dating sites with my personal favorite being OKCupid. Still, my experience and the experience shared by singles I talk to suggest that this person’s argument has one big flaw.

So ...

Finding Good Deals for Online Dating Services

Posted by:

In my last article I discussed many on-going dating service promotions. Advertised promotions are a great way to save some money signing up for a dating site but it is not the only way. Here is another method to save some money:

  1. Find a service you are interested in trying
  2. Sign up for the free version of the service
  3. Wait
  4. Eventually you will likely receive an email offer from the site for use of the service at a discounted price

Obviously this method ...

10 Reasons You Should Consider Dating a Geek

Posted by:

You may find yourself dating online when you receive contact from someone you might label as a “geek”. Now, before you write this person off as not worth dating I think you should consider what geeks bring to a relationship. As I’ll be discussing in this article, while geeks fail to bring the social status important to many people, what they offer in replace of that makes them well worth your consideration.

None of the reasons I will be discussing are ...

How to Seduce Women

Posted by:

In this one phrase, “How to seduce a woman”, I believe many men are led down the wrong path when looking for companionship. I am convinced this is a very disappointing statement for anyone who has found their way here looking to have this question answered. However, I would ask that you give me just a few minutes of your time to explain my case before you insist on continuing your quest to have this secret revealed. Allow me to ...

Why Do Men Ignore What I Require in My Dating Profile?

Posted by:

Why do men ignore what a woman lists as her requirements for the men in her online dating profile? The woman doesn’t even need to have an unreasonable list of things she’s looking for. It might be one thing if she made it impossible for any man to contact her. But that’s happening. Simple things such as required religion or height or age are often ignored entirely by some of the contacting men.

You say you’re looking for a 20-something college ...
