Dating in London – Flirty vs Dirty?

If you are dating in London and you are involved in emailing someone who is a favourite and they email back, sometimes things can get a bit hot! It’s OK to get involved in a bit of harmless flirting but things can quickly get out of hand and possibly spoil what could be a good relationship. Sex texting is OK with someone you know well, but with a complete stranger it can often go astray. There are some obvious dangers, such as you haven’t a clue who the other person is at this point, but the most embarrassing thing is when you both get carried away before you’ve met and then when you meet find that you don’t fancy each other. Even worse is the situation where they still fancy you but you find them totally unattractive! It’s hard getting out of that one.

The other scenario is at some point when you are dating in London and you phone or text this new contact, you’ve had this great virtual sex, superman/woman performances all round, then you meet up and do fancy each other, you hit the sack still remembering the phone sex and find that neither of you match up to the virtual performance! Wow that is embarrassing! And as before, it’s even worse if one of you really is a superman and the other is a bit of a dud!

So the advice is this, be flirty by all means but keep the dirty out of your phone or text communications until you’ve met your date. This way you’ll really enjoy your dating in London and will be able to look forward to whatever comes without worrying.

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.

Online Dating in London: More Dating Tips about Emailing

Good advice for when you are dating in London is this: although it’s a good idea to send out lots of emails you shouldn’t go for quantity alone, good quality emails really make a difference. Having 5 good generic emails available and then customising them for each contact works well. Try to look for 5 distinct things in his or her profile and use them in your email. This will make much more difference than 500 words of waffle with no clear customisation.

Try not to make bad spelling typos, check and recheck. Seeing an email with lots of typos indicates someone who can’t be bothered. Some typos can be really embarrassing – one which comes to mind was this: a guy who was pretty good at cooking said in his email: “ I’ve been told I’m a pretty good cock but you’ll have to taste for yourself to find out” ! Hmm, funny but could be a put off.

One thing is not to sound as though you are trying too hard, keep the tone relaxed, spontaneous and informal, just as though you were chatting to someone. If you overdo the long words and include too many descriptive words it will sound as though you are trying to impress, so although you may feel desperate you really mustn’t sound it! Don’t name drop, giving a list of books you’ve read or films you’ve watched is pretty boring. Same goes for describing your work, don’t go into detail just give a general overview. All these things will make you sound relaxed and easy to know. Try hard with your email but don’t sound as though you are! Follow tghis advice and dating in London will be great.
