Dating Advice for Men Seeking Love

Meeting people has never been harder. The majority of people I know work long hours in stressful jobs and rarely get the chance to socialize with the opposite sex. Apparently the 2 most common ways to meet people are through friends or at work – so what if you work in a one sex dominated industry or a small company or you just don’t fancy any one at the office? And what if your friends don’t have any potential suiters? Where do you turn? Well thankfully there is somewhere – the internet!

I know a lot of people who have dabbled with internet dating sites with quite a lot of success – in fact a close friend gets married to her fiancé who she met through a well know dating site next year!

So speaking on a behalf of all women out there and trying to help those men taking the plunge I thought I’d try and give you men some advice…

Women like and seek different things in men as men do in woman so there can’t be a set rule. I have a friend who works in London and is a very successful career woman, she’s exceptionally intelligent and has more energy and drive in her little finger than most of us have in our whole body. When asked what she looks for in a man it’s someone with the wit and intelligence to keep her challenged – now this doesn’t translate to a ‘player’ far from it but someone who can make her laugh who is her match intellectually. Another friend is looking for a supportive and caring man who long term wants the traditional role of the provider while she takes up the role of house wife and mother.

What we are saying is that not every woman is going to find you attractive, or a suitable match just like you are not going to want to form a relationship with every girl on the dating site. So when writing your profile don’t try and please everyone. Be honest and realistic in your requirements and expectations. If you don’t want children then say you don’t want children – it’ll save you wasting time meeting with girls who are desperate for babies. You are paying for this service after all so you want success as soon as possible!

Be open minded and enjoy the experience of meeting new and interesting people, don’t be hard on yourself if the date doesn’t work out – that’s all part of the fun. All I ask is that you give the other person the same respect you would look for. If you aren’t interested then in the nicest way just tell them. We’d rather that than you wimp out and stop returning our calls and just ‘disappear’! (But that goes for all dating not just internet dating).

Good luck and enjoy the experience – you never know who you’ll meet friend or potential wife people are fascinating so this a your chance to broaden your horizons!
