More and more people are using internet portals, intended for seeking friendship and love, and making personal contacts. If you'd like to try this, too, or if you're one of those users of such sites on whom good fortune hasn't smiled yet, then you should go on reading and put the following advise into practice.

1. Keep several irons in the fire

Don't focus on a too limited number of candidates. Once you eliminate from your options those persons who are obviously a bad choice for you due to their character or looks, try to establish contact with as many potential partners as possible. This will enable you easier drawing of comparisons and choosing a more appropriate candidate. Keep in mind that the first impression can be deceptive.

2. Try to get his/her e-mail as soon as possible

Members of dating portals often erase or change their profiles or don't log into the system for a long time. That's why it's crucial for you to get an e-mail of the member that you find particularly interesting - an e-mail usually lasts longer than the profile. It's even better if you manage to get more contact information - for MSN, ICQ, Skype and other internet communication tools that ensure a quick and easy transmission of messages.

3. Don't fall in love with a personal profile

Information provided in a person's online profile doesn't represent the whole picture and life story of him or her, so don't count too much on its validity. Make sure you don't fall in love with a profile, but with a real person behind it. In order for this to happen, you have to ask a person a lot of questions, on the basis of which you can examine their personality. Be careful not to be too obtrusive or aggressive. Wait for your relationship to develop a bit. If the person on the other side of the computer monitor is genuinely interested in you, they won't be reluctant to share with you some of the more intimate details of their life and show their true colors.

4. How to get to know him/her in real life?

If you found someone who could be your soul-mate, it's time to make the next step – a step beyond virtual reality! Before you suggest a date, you can test their readiness for this step by asking for some of their more personal information, such as a phone number or where they live. Some of the people included in online social networks use the latter only to kill time, which means they won't be ready to meet you in person. With a bit of practice and intuition you will be able to find out their true intentions soon enough.

5. It's always good to exercise some caution

Only a small "portion" of the online interlocutors are impostors and there are even less people who could be dangerous. Nevertheless, you shouldn't give out your personal information unless you're sure you can trust the other person. You should pay attention to any contradictions and inconsistencies in their profile, or to any excessive mysteriousness in private messages. A person who will hide from you all their personal information for a long time probably doesn't have sincere intentions with you. You should also avoid people who insist upon your very first contact that you should meet in person.
