Online Dating Relationship

So what is a dating relationship(DR)? How and when do you come to realize the fact that your relationship with your partner has become a serious enough? In this article we will take a look for the indications and signs when a casual relation turns into a serious one.

There are some specific indications that tell us that our relationship is turning into a DR. Most of the time, our association with friends and colleagues are resulted into a DR. But this is not always the case. Some time a person who was unknown to you a few days ago becomes your dating partner and this DR eventually turned out to be a lifetime relationship in the form of marriage.

So when and how this happens? You often go to a family vacation with His/Her Parents. You do some thing unique to do on Christmas. You often accept an invitation to go out of house and go to his or her parents.

This is when you begin to realize that this is not just another date you have. These are the very basic indicators that tell us that our relationship is not a casual any more but it has become a serious DR.

One of the signs which tell us that our relationship has turned into a DR is when you are being on display as a prospective mate to the parents of your dating partner.

This one is obvious but often many people seem to ignore it. When the man or woman you're dating tells that the two of you should be dating each other more often, what he or she actually means is: 'this is the starting point of a serious dating relationship". Some people misunderstand it as completely different sign. Boys think of it as a lesser complicated way of dating. Girls think of it as the death of a serious relationship.

When you are in a serious DR, you try to impress your partner more than you do in a casual or not so serious relation ship.

If you still watch TV whole night on your date, some will call it a lack of romance while others will call it a comfort-zone. Whichever way you see it, it looks like this: You order a pizza and watch a reality TV show.

A big sign that you are in a DR is the ability to have a quarrel with your dating partner and not feel like it is the end of the relationship. That is how this relates back to having a comfort zone with him and being able to show off your emotions without any worries.

Being able to show off your emotion freely is an indicator that shows that you have arrived at the level of understanding with the other partner in the essence that you do not have to put on a mask about who you are and how you feel. Often signs that show that you have arrived from a casual relationship to serious DR can be different from person to person, some time they are very clear but often are not. Whether you want to be in a DR or not is up to you, just make sure to communicate with your dating partner to enjoy a good dating relationship.

Online Dating Scams

12 Simple Rules

Before you even think about online dating, you must know about dating scams.

This is serious: if you get too deeply involved, a dating scam can significantly hurt not only your heart, but your finances, too.

Make sure you know how to protect yourself from fraud when using dating sites!

Internet personals, online introduction agencies and matchmaking sites allow anyone to join for free, and they usually do not screen their members. It means you never know who is behind this pretty photo: a real beautiful woman or a con artist who downloaded a photo of an unknown model from the Internet.

There are four types of online dating scams:

1. Prostitute scam;
2. Phone scam;
3. Travel scam;
4. Nigerian postal scam.

Let me tell you more about these scams.
------------
1. Prostitute scam

Prostitutes are straightforward: they place profiles on dating sites to solicit business. Such profiles are usually easily recognized by sleazy user names and steamy self-descriptions. They don't waste time letting you know what they are after.

2. Phone scam

This is the variation of the old phone scam: the person asks you to call them, and when you do, you get a bill in the mail for hundreds of dollars (1900 number).

3. Travel scam

The person resides overseas and asks you to help them with travel expenses to visit you.

4. Nigerian postal scam

The person pretends to be a relative of a diseased government official who asks for your help in a financial transaction.
------------
So, how can you protect yourself from being taken by Internet con artists using online personals to reach their victims?

Here is the simple guidance that will make your use of online dating sites safe and secure.

First, when you view a profile, look out for the things like a sleazy user name, especially if it's a woman: guys cannot stop thinking about sex 24/7 (and it's normal) - but women normally don't do it. Sincere women don't choose user names like "the_sweetest_sin", "ms_right_now" etc.

Second, read what the profile says: people milking others for money will say something vague that can fit anyone.

Third, look at the photos: gorgeous professional photos in combination with vague profile almost always mean trouble. People with beautiful photos receive LOTS of mail, so they become VERY selective and include many requirements in their profiles (especially women).

Basically, any woman who talks about loving sex and experimenting in bed is most likely not for real.

Any man who talks about being a millionaire isn't for real either.

It doesn't mean there are no women who love sex and experimenting in bed or millionaires on the site - they just DO NOT talk about that in their profiles.

And any person who does, is a liar.

Simple.

Another HUGE warning is overseas profiles. Often people would list their location as being local and when you start talking to them, they reveal they are from overseas (Niger.ia, Russia, etc).

Such profiles should be treated as potential scams - always.

If the location in the personal profile doesn't match what the person says about him/herself, my advice is to drop it altogether and don't waste your time.

If you decide to proceed, do it for entertainment purposes only and don't get emotionally attached.

What will happen, sooner or later you will get a money request in some form - they need money for a sick relative, they want to visit you and need money for tickets, etc - whatever the reason, there WILL be a money request.

When this happens, you can play along and have some fun, asking for instructions and promising to send them money - just don't actually SEND it.

If you do, there are two variants: they will disappear or ask for MORE money (hey, if you were so stupid to send it once, why not try again!) - and keep asking for more money until you stop sending it.

Don't even HOPE this is for real.
Because it's NOT.

You may want to believe it is, but better believe ME: I am a real person and you can ring me and have a chat with me. With those people, you can't.

So, who would you choose to believe: me, who tells you this is a scam - or them, who ask you for money (which you can NEVER recover)?

I work in online dating since 1999 - I KNOW.

Trust me on that.

Long distance + request for money = SCAM.

Forget any sweet stories you've heard in between - and any sweet pictures, too. Most likely, the pics are downloaded from the Net and belong to some model. (Hey, there were even scammers using MY OWN pictures! ;-))

Guys are more vulnerable to this one than girls: I have never heard about a woman who wired thousands of $ $ $ to some guy to come and visit her - but the Internet is PLASTERED with stories of men sending money to their non-existing female admirers.

How wonderful... this perfect female specimen cannot wait to get hold of your zip and provide you with the greatest pleasure you ever experienced!! OF COURSE she sincerely loves you and is different from any woman you met before (and probably a couple of generations younger than you as well).

C'mon mate: those perfect Playboy-type exemplars dying to try your new sheets exist only in the virtual reality of your correspondence.

They are as real as Santa Claus or Niger.ian millions. You know this one: you get a mail from a relative of a deceased top government official who begs your assistance in transferring large sums of money (stolen from the country's people obviously) - and easily promising to give you a few millions if you simply allow them to use your bank account. The people may list themselves as being from Nigeria, or any other African country.

This one is as clear as daylight, so if anyone starts talking about money transfers, honesty and trust, simply BLOCK them.

Remember the formula:

Long distance + request for money = SCAM.

I hope this article will help you protect yourself from dating scams and you will only meet honest, sincere and genuine singles from now on.

Happy hunting! :-))

Understanding online dating

This is due to the World Wide Web which has made everything just few clicks away from you. There is no sector you can think of which doesn't have internet involve one way or the other. Dating is no exception; the concept of online was initially not that popular. People use to visit bars or restaurants in order to find a date for themselves. The success of an individual dependent on the fact how catchy pickup line you choose or how good are your skills to attract the opposite sex. In this scenario 50 plus people were supposed to sit at home and watch soccer at home at weekends.

But the picture has changed lot since then. Let's take an example of Ireland, which is the 3rd largest island of Europe. Irish singles are enjoying the luxury of these websites. The number has amplified so promptly that it almost triggered a virtual war between service provider to give latest and most innovative service for Irish singles.

All of this has just benefited the local greatly.

As there is no age to love someone or be loved there existed a massive group of people "Dating over 50 Ireland" which was not initially focused on but as the service provider estimated their potential market then dating site started providing specific domains for Dating over 50 Ireland.
That is how the dating services evolved over time. The good things about the about dating online are:

• Privacy
• Security
• Comfort
• More options
• Interactive services

The first thing any dater demands is privacy. After all you are searching for a person with whom you are going to spent moments of your life. So, unwanted intervention could be very annoying.

Other thing is security, which means that your personal information on your profile cannot be manipulated with your permission. This is a very important factor because your security is breached then the aftermaths could be alarming for any individuals.

These sites surely provide you comfort by enabling you to date from their homes. This is the reason behind the rapidly increasing members over these sites. Earlier one has to publically meet a person in order to kick start a relationship with no surety of success. This does sound awkward you take your best suit/dress out do all the need full preparation and ultimate face the rejection. But now you can first be comfort able with other person and then meet them when you know them to some extent.

Online community dating sites

Online community is always on the lookout for singles and there are plenty of singles who register in online dating sites. There are both paid and free sites and one must understand that these sites offer the complete solution to all the dating needs. Yes some might prefer for a Thai bride and everyone have their own preferences when it comes to dating. What many do not understand that a compelling lively profile is a must for getting the most of the responses in any online community. It is easy to register with these sites.

There are both paid as well as free dating sites .In the paid sites one must be able to pay some money to register and acquire the membership status whereas in the free site the one who wishes to become the member need not pay any money. Of course the features of the paid site and that of unpaid site differ greatly.

In the paid sites the embers would be allowed to gain additional features like access to chat rooms and enhanced clear visual appeal in the displayed member's web page.

 

Moreover the members of the site would be at first looking at the displayed photo and in a matter of few seconds the entire profile would be read by the members of the site. It is of profound importance to register (In Thai : สมัครสมาชิก ) in such online community (In Thai : ชุมชนออนไลน์ ) and also create a lively and compelling profile.

Keep in mind that that many use this website to find their life partner and so it is wise to attach a recent photo. A close shot is preferred rather than a long one and be precise yet clear in your wordings. Nobody wants to hear long stories of your past love life and everyone wants a match who would be compatible with him/her .Of course a modern mind set and outlook is also wanted by the singles.

 

Try to be as appealing as possible in your words written in your profile. You need to understand that you are not the only one standing amongst the long row of members and so keep your ideas in a concise form. Never try to forge any personal details. Your work history and your hobbies should never be written with any second thought because you never know how misleading your own wrong wordings could affect you!

 

In the way you express about yourself in the profile you most make the reader understand that you are a well cultured person. Remember that everyone have their own preferences and in case you are a religious person do mention it in precise terms and never take it as an opportunity to preach the reader about your religion. Money, politics can be all discussed when you meet with the one who shows interest in your profile and it is wise to be short and sweet in the details. Above all it is wise to be your own self and never try to imitate some one's way of approach as your style to win your date's heart!

Key Online Dating Tips

When you are new to the online dating scene it can seem a little intimidating. There are a lot of rules of Internet dating that the beginner will have to learn by trial and error, or by reading up on online dating before you jump in. The main thing that you will want to remember is that you must be sure to put your safety and well being first. Go into the Internet dating scene thinking with your head at all times and not your emotions. The emotions can come after you get to know someone in real life, it's too easy to get yourself into trouble online if you aren't smart as well as careful. While online dating can be a very good thing, it is something that should be approached correctly.

When you are making your dating profile you want to put as much information about yourself that you can in a safe manner. You want to let those that are looking at your profile get a feel for the type of person that you are.

They should be able to read on your hobbies and interests so they can determine whether the two of you would be compatible. When you are filling out the hobbies and interests section you will want to give the information without naming any specifics which would allow someone to be able to locate you in real life without your knowledge.

Once you begin talking to someone that you decide to meet in real life you should keep in mind that it is very easy fro someone to pretend to be someone or something that they aren't. For this reason you will want to take note on things that they tell you. This will not only help you to remember things about them, but it will also help you to make sure that they are being consistent with their answers. You also want to be sure that you don't set up a date to meet someone until you feel that they are being truthful with you.

When you do set up that first date you will want to plan to drive yourself to a public place and meet them there.

As soon as you have enough information on the person that you are beginning to think about a relationship with, it's always a good idea to do a background check. Many people that date online have become fans of background checks, they are great ways to ensure that you are getting to know someone that doesn't have a criminal history. You will also be able to make sure the person isn't hiding something else, such as a spouse.
