Dating in London – Hold on Tight!

If you have the idea that online dating is a lazy way to date, you’re in for a shock! You need to realise that the online part is only a small part of the whole dating thing. You can’t just go online and stay there, you have at some time to log off, close down the PC and get out on those dates! You’ll be doing that in person, no username, no password, it will be you, the real you. And you had better be ready, cause if you are dating in London using DatingLondon101, the dates are going to come thick and fast.

You can quickly have three 2nd dates from guys/girls who you don’t really fancy and 2 more from people who you fancy like mad. So you’ve got some planning to do. Before starting to use online dating you may have been definitely in the dating slow lane and now you’re going to be switched at breakneck speed into the fast lane! Sex and the city isn’t even in it compared to the situation you may soon find yourself in.

As it is going to be hectic you need to take a life check, are you definitely over the last relationship? Have you stopped wearing your jimmy’s all night long from the moment you get in from work to next morning’s shower, have you stopped listening to James Blunt, have you stopped buying in industrial supplies of Kleenex and choccy bars. If you are sure, you can move on and get dating again, sign up at DatingLondon and begin that new exciting life of dating in London.

Dating in London? Tough Things You Should Know

This advice doesn’t just apply to people dating in London but to online daters everywhere. You need to get streetwise or you may get hurt (emotionally I mean)

1. He/she will probably not look like their photo, this is a fact of life, everyone tries to use the best pic they can of themselves. They may just look better if you’re lucky!

2. You have 10 people who have listed you as favourite, fact is that the one you hoped may call you is the one who doesn’t! Get over it and reply to the next best.

3. A lot of people fall in love with the emails sent to them and think that is the real person. Try NOT to fall in love until you meet the person who has sent all those lovely emails. You could fall instantly out of love!

4. If you think that after a lovely first date the other guy/girl is going to take their details down from the dating in London site, think again. They have paid for 3 months and will probably keep looking just in case someone better comes along. This again is the reality of online dating. Work hard at being the one he/she doesn’t want to lose.

5. Prepare yourself! You will meet some nutters, freaks and weirdoes!! It happens, just make sure you meet in a safe place and have an escape plan( a friend who will ring you after an hour where you can pretend she is your mother telling you that Aunt Edna is dying and to get home quick!) if the date is going well you can just act naturally and say you are having a lovely time.

6. You will click on people who don’t click back, who don’t answer your emails, move on and be glad it didn’t go further.

OK, this all seems a bit depressing but it’s just a reality check, none of it may happen to you but just be prepared. Do this and you will probably have a lovely time dating in London or anywhere else

Dating in London – More Email Tips

If you are dating in London the following email tips will be good advice: Once you know that someone has added you as a favourite you will probably get excited and think something further will happen. It may not unless you do something about it. So writing a long and detailed email is not the way to go. Keep it short and sweet. It’s like a chat up in a bar, if you are in the persons face and firing questions at them right, left and centre, what would happen? Yes they’d excuse themselves to go to the loo and that’s the last you see of them! Same thing with an email. Back to the bar – stand reasonably close, make the odd funny remark about the barman or something nice about what they are wearing and they will know you are interested. – again same thing with an email.

If you are a girl and dating in London and are chasing some bloke you need to know that guys love weird things on the net – videos, factoids etc. If you can find something like this and it’s about something he has shown he is interested in, in his profile – he will be impressed. Give him a link to a cool website or great video and you’ve got something to talk about!

Always give the other person some reason to write back, ask a quick question about something they have said they are interested in on their profile. What sort of questions should you NOT ask? I hate the latest fad of asking totally dumb things like: “If you were a tree, what sort of tree would you like to be” – YAK! Don’t do it, there’s thousands more people hate these stupid questions than like them. Main thing, avoid the following NO NO subjects: marriage, children, commitment, money, sex and exes. Do this and you should soon find that dating in London is great fun.
