You're a single gay man who has decided you'd rather pop some popcorn and watch your favorite television show than deal with another disastrous blind date. Or maybe you're a lesbian who'd like to meet another lesbian who doesn't want to set up house immediately after you meet. Online dating Web sites just might be the answer you've been looking for, and we have the online tips you need for gay dating.
Perhaps you've heard that successful online dating is not a possibility? Maybe you're under the impression that the only gays and lesbians who meet people online are desperate.
Not true. Dating Web sites are all the rage in the 21st century; it is where millions of people have met their partners. While there are generic dating sites that have gay and lesbian sections, there are also sites for gays and lesbians specifically. Search for your partner on both at first to determine which site makes you feel the most comfortable. What's important is that you target only those people who match your sexuality.
Honesty is the best policy when it comes to successful online dating. When you post a photo, make sure that the photo is an accurate depiction of what you really look like. In addition, be sure to describe yourself as accurately as possible.
Think about it: When you look at a photo and a description on a dating site, you have faith that it's correct, right? How would you feel if it weren't? Keep that in mind as you post your information. Few people look like Angelina Jolie. Don't compare your looks to hers unless it's an honest comparison.
Email is a beautiful thing when it comes to online dating. It is one of the best ways to get to know a person, and is less of an intrusion than phone calls. When you spot that certain someone that you'd like to meet, start with an email conversation.
Take it slow and refrain from revealing too much personal information about yourself until you're very comfortable with the person. Instant messaging and chat rooms are okay for this purpose, as well. Save phone calls for later.
How are the emails? Are they all about sex? That's not why you bothered to join a dating site, is it? It's best to move on to someone who really wants a relationship.
Is she asking for your phone number after the first email? You're not desperate and you're not looking for someone who is. Work with someone who you can correspond with electronically for a bit before you get on the phone.
You like the person. Your emails are on fire. You're in love with her personality. You've flirted enough. Now you're ready to meet. Pick a place that is neutral, such as a restaurant. That way if your hot date turns out to be cold, you can make an exit.
Put your best foot forward, but be yourself. If you don't normally wear a sport jacket and slacks to a casual dinner, don't start now. Even if he appears to be a sharp dresser, better to be neat and clean in your own appearance than to try to impress. Remember, successful online dating works best when there is honesty.
At the same time, don't limit your choices to a perfect specimen. That handsome gay guy may have a beautiful physique, but what if the guy you really like doesn't? Does that make him less of a quality date? Decide on a realistic image of the person you'd like to spend time with and tell yourself that looks are important, but so are other parts of the package.
Successful online dating is possible if you take it slow and if you're honest. You'll grow into each other and develop a relationship that will last a long time.
