Ok so my last post I let you know my Top 10 Don'ts for internet dating. I think it only fair to have a Top 10 Do list. I just hope I can make it to 10! I am really not that fussy. Really!
1/ Conversation is a two way street. I love to talk but I also love to listen (or read in the case of online) Keep me interested with intelligent conversation about politics, religion or even your favourite instalment in the Friday the 13th series and I am happy.
2/ Have the ability to laugh at yourself. (Chances are I am already laughing it helps if I am not giggling by myself and looking like a total lunatic)
3/ I am honest with my profile and photo, please be the same. I am amazed at how many cuddly men describe themselves as average. I like cuddly men - I don't like liars.
4/ A quirky sense of humour gets me everytime. You can randomly work quotes from Black Books into our conversation? Certain phrases make you break into song? It doesn't matter what just make me laugh and I am yours. (Within reason - obviously if you make jokes about Magda visiting a concentration camp or even aspire to the humour of wankers I will think you are a tool and never talk to you again)
5/ I love learning new things, just because I am not into scrapbooking it doesn't mean that I am not interested in hearing about your experiences with glue, photos and paper (that is what scrapbooking is right?) As long as you are not so obsessed with scrapbooking that it is all you talk about and it is used as an excuse for us not to meet it could be a great conversation.
wow I made it half way! ok......
6/ If you manage to get far enough to get my mobile number I like the occasional little text telling me how your day is going. Not excessive (that is just creepy) it is just nice to know I am being thought of. Just whatever you do don't send mini movies of ...well read the last post again to remind you of what I am talking about.
7/ Take the lead. I am an old fashioned girl when it comes down to it. I want to be wooed. Be the one to suggest a date and have a plan as to what that date might be. (Meet me at the 7-11 and we will take it from there just doesn't cut it)
8/ If you are talking to me, only talk to me. It is not like I am online all the time. Grab the opportunity to get to know me and give some attention to me. I am certainly giving you that respect when we are talking. It is just common courtesy people!
9/ Be yourself. I want to get to know you, not some casanova/superman/businessman of the year/1970's porn star! Honesty is the most important thing. We need to be friends before anything else may eventuate. Friends are completely honest with each other. (That doesn't mean that I would be completely comfortable with you asking me to pull your finger on the first date!)
omg I actually made it!
10/ Surprise me! but in a good non-dirty mms way.
And I wonder why I am still single!
Pfft!
