Another awesome article. You're so right about expectations and dating. Thanks for the tips Andrea!

i've definitely met some people from online that turned out different in person. kinda sucks because you invest a certain amount of time and effort on that person. even sucks more because i'm straightforward and honest about who i am. hopefully people will listen to this column!

Well, it's all nice advice but I'm wondering whatever happened to manners and etiquette. Apparently I'm not going to find it at many of the online services. Nope, all over it. Never again. I've sent out clever witty messages that do not resort to Federline-inspired vernacular or low digit IQ phonetic phrases in which s is substituted with z, or anything that is needy or over anxious or too forward. Very. Simple. Messages. And nothing back. It's kind of ironic when most people will claim to be considerate and polite in their profile yet it's completely different story with the real world. I mean, we say thank you when someone gives us the time, we say thank you to the kid handing out the Taco Bell at the drive-thru, we say thank you to a potential employer when we submit a resume. So why is such consideration exempt/not applicable when it comes to someone responding to a profile? I mean, why did you even join this?... Nope, I've learned my lesson and never again. The experience has taught me a lot about the people who frequent online services - not much of it is very good.

Your article is absolutely cool and honety is alwaysthe best policy. Thats true. 3 cheers to you and thanks for sharing the informatiom. It will help many no doubt

Thank you for this amazing articles. A relationship cant be bbuilt on dishonesty and it willhelp many people. There are scammers every where. Thank you in deed coz your artiucle will help them think again

There are twice as many men on these sites as women. We men have to work twice as hard.

I would definitely however avoid chatrooms for meeting guys...I unfortunately did when i was 18 ended up married to the guy by the time i was 19 and divorced not long after that...honesty is definitely the best policy and remember never to judge a book by its cover or just figure that what there telling you is the absolute truth...there are always candy coated lies in the beginning and sometimes it takes a while to crack the shell for the truth...and remember if you forget to mention something early in a relationship it can wreck havick on the whole situation...(i'm in this now with my current boyfriend- he neglected to tell me a very important thing and not sure how to handle it i've been with him now for 3 years..thats a long time for me)..Good luck to all you out there searching for the right one...i think sometimes you just have to believe in fate and mine is not with the boyfriend i have now...

You know when my income went up... the strangest thing happened... I got four times as many interested women... why do people lie?

I think people lie because it allows them the opportunity to make the situation how they want it to be so they feel like there in control, because really deep down inside there shallow and inferior and don’t know how to deal with the truth.

hahaha... I'm just as inferior as the women who are more interested in my income... which is most of them
