You’ve heard the awful and how to avoid them, but what about some of the good ones? Online dating is excellent once you know how to approach it the right way. Remember our number 1 core rule – honesty! It is because of this rule that the following accounts played out so well.
“I met Gary through online dating. We’d both come out of long term relationships that had ended badly, but we had a lot in common – the need for some bedroom action being chief among them. Unlike a lot of other people neither of us had lied about this on our profile so when we met up and got on really well, we went right back to my place that night and…OMG…I never realised sex could be that much fun or mind blowing. I’ve seen Gary a few times since and the best thing about meeting him is that there is no pressure on pursuing anything more then sex. I don’t want anything else from him right now and he feels the same way. It’s brilliant, but it wouldn’t have worked if we both hadn’t been upfront about things from the get go.”

“Chrissy was just…hot. I’m not very good with describing people in words especially when they’re so…fit! We’d met through (site withheld) and I’d always considered these sites to be seedy and dodgy, but actually it was totally the opposite! I’d gotten fed up with lying and pretending to be something I wasn’t so I just thought ‘screw it!’ and wrote down everything I wanted from a date right now. I thought it would be a complete turn off for women, but I was dead wrong. I met Chrissy the week later and we’ve had a few really fun nights since. Don’t want anything more at the moment, but we’re both pretty cool with that by the looks of it. I’m just having fun.”

The great experience
The above accounts demonstrate that online dating can and does work. However I would like to point out the common factor in both – honesty. Both of these people were upfront and truthful about what they were looking for in their profile right from the get go. As a result they both found someone who wanted the same things and had a great time.
So if you’re looking for the right f-buddy for you, don’t lie about what you want! Don’t be embarrassed about writing stuff you think will turn off someone looking at your profile because eventually someone will come along that will like what you’ve written…
