With so many Internet dating services, how does one go about choosing one that is reliable and professional?
Myles: What is inherent with the Internet, and particularly with Internet Dating, is the plethora of options. Mainline dating sites, such as Match.com, Meetic.com and PerfectMatch.com are the most ideal places to look for love. They are primarily in the business of creating communities to facilitate romantic relationships. Broader social network sites like MySpace.com and Facebook.com are not the most ideal place to search, because there are many other non-romantic activities taking place on these sites. Norm: What should one be aware of when communicating with a prospective online date? What are the advantageous and disadvantageous of online dating? Myles: Here are a few important things to keep in mind when you first make contact with someone: 1) The people that you meet online are highly uncommitted during the first few weeks so keep your expectations in check. During the first two weeks, many people will wiggle free and you will toss back an equal number. 2) Your time is important.
