Good quality prospective men, that you may be compatible with, are not a dime a dozen. They are rare and not that easy to find. Unfortunately, they are like a rare unpolished diamond in the rough. When we do find one through on-line dating, or other ways, we want to make sure we "don't turn them off."

After you have written a great profile, and uploaded the most gorgeous picture of yourself you have, when the responses start rolling in, don't blow it by not following these very simple rules. First, don't give out too much information in the beginning. Be interesting, but don't tell or write your entire life's history on the first talk or email.

For example, if he asks how many siblings you have, he is NOT asking for the details of your interaction with them. He really just wants to know how many you have. Say you have 2 (or whatever is true) and then ask how many he has.

Get to know the guy some on the first conversation or email. Ask him about himself. Don't just talk about yourself. Many people believe another person is "a very interesting person", when they are allowed to talk about themselves to that person. Be a good listener, especially in the beginning.

Telling the truth is a virtue. Most of us have insecurities about something, but there is no reason to tell untruths or make up stories. Be honest. If you are a little overweight, don't say you have a models figure. If you are unemployed, don't say you are a corporate CEO. I think you get my drift on this one.

If you find a man who you are really interested in, he will find out you lied and there goes any possibility of the relationship progressing. So, just be honest. There is someone out there who will like you, even come to love you, for exactly the person you are.

Maybe you have been alone for a while, or have had some "bad relationships", but still don't make yourself look desperate. Desperation or even appearing to be desperate turns most people off, especially men. You don't want to scare them away, by being clingy or too easy.

These rules are general guidelines which lead to success at on-line dating. They work. I met my husband at an on-line site just by being myself, a good listener, and telling the truth. We have been married for several years now, bought a home together and have adopted twin boys. Your man could be just around the computer for you too.
