I just came across a great dating advisor through my followers at Twitter. I should introduce her to you. Here is she is, http://dateprettygirl.com/
She writes very well and her advice really comes from the heart. She underscores the advantages of online dating in passing in one of her essays, and let me add, indeed, online dating is a great time saver. Why? Because by the time you meet your date you are already aware of his/her background, life experiences, idiosyncrasies, etc. This is what happens as you web cam with this person, send emails back and forth, Twit and Facebook each other to death. With complete research done, there's only one milestone to complete and that's (you guessed it right) the date itself!
And so the moral of the story? Post that eye-catching, provocative, insightful and creative dating profile, and they will come! How much research you want done before the date happens is all up to you--just make sure you obtain a recent picture as a minimum requirement.

Don't Follow Every Dating Advice There Is
Indeed, there will always be self-professed dating experts who will say be sure to check your spelling and make sure your grammar is right in your dating profile. I beg to disagree! People who are looking to actively date are not looking for English professors or grammarians--unless these types of people turn them on. So unless you are targeting these types specifically, it's okay to commit some spelling blunders. Sometimes, these blunders may even be cute! Like the word "tonite" or "pics."
What you should keep in mind is that you give an adequate word picture of yourself. Just enough to keep him or her guessing, get it? Like this:
One Girl's Dream...One Man's Treasure? - w4m

One Girl's Dream...One Man's Treasure? - w4m
I have a dream. My dream is that one day, I will finally find my prince charming. I didn't think I needed him before, but now that I have accomplished my career goals and have my own condo, I feel empty. Maslow is right! There is indeed such a thing as mankind's hierarchy of needs. After you get everything in life, you find that you are empty if there is no love! So where is the love?
The man I am looking for is tall, Caucasian, handsome, straight and young (between 18-27) years of age. He is drop dead gorgeous like me! Oh, I forgot to tell you more about myself. I am 25 years old, and don't get me wrong, I am not advertising here because I look like Ugly Betty, no, no! Men chase me a lot. But so far I haven't found my match. I usually find a flaw or two, although I must admit I am neither paranoid nor too picky.
I have been told I look like Tia Carrere, or Jay Lo, and yeah, a younger version of Pam Anderson. I got better boobs though! Mine are real and just the right size. More about myself. I love boy toy, or next door looks. If you are ripped or naturally fit, you will pass. No obese guys please or sugar daddy types! I don't need your money. I didn't get this far in life just to settle for an ugly daddy. No, no!
I am for real, as real as it gets. The real deal. I have found a few men through this site and believe me the search has been one hell of a roller coaster ride. But so far I haven't found my dream. So here I am, poring out my heart. Please, please, make my dream come true!
Please apply only if you are serious, I am not one to waste time. Time is truly gold, and I won't be a successful woman if I didn't make sure that every minute I spend is spent well. You be too! No head games please nor endless emails! Just send me a picture or two (face or body pics), a few words to describe yourself, and boom! Absolutely no soliciting please! I am posting this ad as of 5 pm, and I will be checking my email after work at around 6 or 7 pm. So apply early to be considered early! No, I don't charge. This is a free offer.
More on the Dating Scene
I cannot stress this enough. You need to be creative on the dating scene to get want you want. It's a very competitive market out there. Of course the tip that I am giving refers to how you write about yourself in your dating profile or dating ad, but when you're out on the street, it's the same thing!
This is one ad I just did for a client. It netted her four great dogs--err, guys. And it's still going and going...
Cute? Or maybe more like effective (yeah the misspelling of "tonite" was deliberate):

Only serious, young straight dogs need apply! Not taking old dogs at this time. It's impossible to teach an old dog new tricks! Prefer a cute dog, Caucasian, between the ages of 18-27. Also prefer a dog that's easy to jerk around and to tie up. Please be ready to be leashed and taught lots of tricks tonight. I am an Asian she master who likes to train male handsome dogs who are obedient and muscular. Be prepared to be punished if you make the wrong turn, dog! Training tonite only. Prepare your best bark, and be ready to lie down and get your tummy rubbed. Dog food available also, be sure to eat from a dog bowl prepared for you.
Are you up to it? Dog pic required. Preferably with your tongue hanging out. Please also indicate if you're a small dog or a big dog. Thank you! Good dog!

Yes, Dating is an Art
Over the past several months, I have helped my friends find great dates on the Web. And you know what the main secret is? Provide adequate, as well as enticing (if not mysterious) information about yourself. Take a look at this ad I placed in the most popular free dating site on the Web recently, which garnered about 80 serious responses (and still going), out of which my friend narrowed down to three fabulous dates.
"HELLO! I just want to prove to my gay friends that I can easily get a guy because of my looks and my sexy body. So help me out here, will you? Drop by, check me out, I'll serve you beers and some snacks. I'll let you touch and kiss me if you're really good looking and you're my type. Here's what I'm looking for. He has to be young (age range 19-27), Caucasian, tall, handsome, fit or muscular and of course, straight. We're under time constraint. The clock is ticking. The earlier you are here the better! Please submit a photo. Please make sure you are not a homophobe, because I am surrounded by my gay friends constantly, they fix my hair, keep me looking beautiful so if they try to touch you or massage you, just play along please. They're completely harmless. I just want to stress that this is not for pay. This is all completely free. See you soon and please, serious inquiries only! "
Yes, don't forget to add the element of urgency. And of course, men cannot resist a lady in distress. Surprising but true, chivalry is still alive and well on Planet Earth.
