Online Dating Tips: 2013

Traveling to exotic new places and experiencing new cultures can be so much fun especially when you have someone attractive to travel with especially when it is with someone you really like. I think one of the most memorable things about falling in love with someone is experiencing the world together. There's always the excitement of trying adventure travel together and experiencing new places and activities for the first time together.

Globogirls.com is a different dating website with a focus on dating for travelers to help you find a travel mate or even help you find a long term partner.

Make sure you check these great tips for online dating before you check in

1. Be ready: You should be divorced or over your last relationship and be a viable dating candidate. If you are sleeping in the same bed as your soon-to-be ex-wife, you should not be out dating.

2. Put up accurate pictures of yourself. Your date should be able to recognize you when you walk in the door. If your pictures were taken 50 pounds ago, 5 years prior or 3 haircuts past, they should not be on your profile. Post a recent photo of yourself that’s flattering and actually looks like you. Chances are you have one really fantastic photo of yourself that was taken at just the right angle that you look ever so slightly like Blake Lively or Jake Gyllenhaal. Don’t post that picture. Post the picture that actually looks like you — you on a good day (in great lighting). You want people to know what to expect and not be disappointed when it’s you who shows up for your date.

3. Be careful. Remember this is the internet and it isn’t always safe. Don’t friend someone on Facebook or give them your address until you are really sure you won’t end up in a crawlspace. Keep your address, place of employment, and other personal information to yourself until you’ve gone out on at least a couple dates.

4. Avoid negative language in your profile. It should go without saying that mentioning an ex or how bad a past relationship was is a definite no-no when writing an online profile, but in the same vein, negative language (anything that starts with: “I hate,” “I don’t like,” “I don’t know”) all sound lame and cast a shadow over you, too.

5. Only respond to people who interest you. If you post a flattering photo and write a unique and upbeat profile, chances are you’ll get lots of responses from potential suitors. Do NOT respond to all of them. Only pick the ones who truly appeal to you to reply to. For all the others, no message is the message … and it’s a lot kinder (and faster) than saying, “Hmm, no thanks.”

6. Avoid Googling a potential match. Let’s say you happen to get a whole name — or enough info about a potential match that you’re able to track him or her on Google. Don’t do it! It’s more fun to learn stuff about people the old-fashioned way (through conversation), and you don’t risk making presumptions or inadvertently revealing that you know something you shouldn't.

7. Ace Your Profile: Be unique and specific in your profile. Everyone likes to have fun, okay? Everyone likes hanging out with friends, listening to music, and “going out.” So tell people something they don’t already know about you, like that you do a brilliant version of “Tainted Love” at karaoke.

8. Keep your emails brief. A general rule of thumb: two paragraphs is ideal; respond to something that was shared with you; share something new about yourself; ask at least one question the other person can answer; and leave plenty to talk about for your first date.
