The Top 10 Online Dating Mistakes Men Make When Contacting Women Online
Mistake #6: Asking for her personal information too soon
So you messaged this really great looking girl, and she responded with a basic “Hi” message. Now what?
You want her real email address, her phone number, her work number, or better yet her address so you can go there now, right?
Stop!
Asking her for ANY personal information in your first messages is a quick way to kill the relationship before it starts.
Think of two dogs approaching each other… what do they do? They approach slowly and cautiously, and proceed to sniff each other.
Why do they do this? They’re getting to know each other.
People are the same in many respects.
Don’t scare her off. Take it slow and let her get to know you before requesting personal information.
Mistake #7: Making sexual innuendos in your first message
Yes, she’s really hot and yes her profile seems flirty and sexual…
So you think it’s OK to be overtly sexual when you try to contact her, WRONG!
Unless you’re on AdultFriendFinder.com or other adult site, sexual innuendos are unlikely to help you.
They’ll most likely torpedo any chances you might have had with her.
So don’t do it.
Mistake #8: Sending her money or a credit card number
Yes, the ever popular Nigerian (or whatever country is in on it this month) money scam.
Social networking sites, including online dating sites, are plagued by scammers.
And guys you know are falling for it every day…
Remember, the whole “if it sounds too good to be true” idea still stands!
If your online profile is really bad, and all of a sudden a girl strangely resembling a supermodel emails you and promises to make all your dreams come true, take it slow.
And DO NOT send money or other financial information to make her come to you…
