Honesty Really is the Best Policy

When you join an online dating service, you are looking for a girl
that you can like…even come to love. That girl is looking for a guy
that SHE can likeor even love. What you aren't looking for is a girl
who would like your best friend or your idea of whatthe perfect guy
looks like or talks like or thinks like. So, in order to find the
right girl for you…and she IS out there…you need to be completely
honest withyourself about yourself when writing the online profile,
during the dating process and beyond.
The best way to begin writing your profile is to carefully analyze
your pastrelationship (s). What was right? What was wrong? What things
really made you like the last girl? Which didn't? Don't assume that
just because you hated that your last girl was so totally
self-involved that she couldn't see anything else,you'll be able to
overlookthat quality this time. You won't.
If you aren't 6'1" with a six-pack to be proud of, don't claim to be.
If you are a bar tender, don't claim to be a lawyer with asix figure
income. If you are 40 going on 50, don't pretend to be 30 something.
Remember, the idea here is to find a girl who will like you exactly
like you are. If you have lied in your profile, the first face-to-face
meeting will remove all her doubt that you are a liar…and probably a
cheat, as well.
Lastly, once you have found a girl that you believe can be the one
foryou, for goodness sakes, cancel your membership to the online
dating service. After all, you knowand she knows that online dating
services are intended for those who are looking…not those who have
found or been found.
