			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_2345" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 170px"><a href="http://www.alovelinksplus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/question-mark.gif"><img src="http://www.alovelinksplus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/question-mark.gif" alt="How to answer the big questions" title="How to answer the big questions" width="160" height="175" class="size-full wp-image-2345" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">How to answer the big questions</p></div><strong>Online dating ads generally ask you</strong> for some very specific information about yourself. Often it is more revealing than you want, or suspect it to be.</p>
<p><strong>You are asked to search your soul</strong> for who would be a great match, sometimes you&#8217;re asked a series of questions that will help &#8216;them&#8217; find a great date/mate for you. But if you can&#8217;t decide in advance what you want for dinner how can you possibly select &#8216;a la carte&#8217; the type of person that would be a great match?</p>
<p>Ultimately it comes down to what you see and read to get your attention and attraction and interest.</p>
<p><strong>So what makes a good personal ad? Follow the example and advice below.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>1) Describe yourself.</em></strong><br />
- Sometimes polite, sometimes rash, I enjoy planning as well as spur of the moment styles. If you ask any of my friends they will say that I am quiet, funny and separately serious and comedic. You&#8217;ll see the best of me on our first date and the weirdest of me after I meet your family. LOL<br />
- My favorite color is blue and my favorite place to vacation is Mexico. I prefer quiet to crowds and friends to acquaintances You can call me a regular guy and I wouldn&#8217;t complain about it, too much.<br />
<em>(it&#8217;s ok to be descriptive without giving too much away about yourself. Think of how you&#8217;d describe yourself over the phone to an old school pal)</em></p>
<p><strong><em>2) Your likes/dislikes.</em></strong><br />
- Everyone has likes and dislikes, but is it fair to let you decide based on what I write here whether we might be compatible or not? I don&#8217;t think so. My answer is: I like you, I dislike this question.<br />
<em>(I honestly hate this type of question and I suggest that you work your way around this question without being too specific, biased, racist, fascist or other, Seriously.)</em></p>
<p><strong><em>3) Describe the type of person you&#8217;re looking for.</em></strong><br />
- I am searching for someone that can be a good friend, not a shoulder to cry on, not someone to instantly bare my soul with but someone to share a mutual understanding of life and all the rewards. You will be hard working and soft spoken, strict and caring, an individual that shares. If I were to describe it one word the person I seek it would be &#8220;confident&#8221; because when you are secure in yourself you can be open with others.<br />
<em>(This is the hardest question to answer, even though many people just write down what they feel &#8216;at the moment&#8217; which is usually a little insecure and a little more challenged to not offend any potential match. I suggest being direct and also allow your answer to be open to interpretation.)</em></p>
<p>The most important and relevant advice is I can give you is to be honest and be yourself.<br />
Also, don&#8217;t answer anything that makes you uncomfortable.</p>
<p><strong>And enjoy your adventure with online dating!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_2053" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.alovelinksplus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/girl_Didi90.jpg"><img src="http://www.alovelinksplus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/girl_Didi90.jpg" alt="Meeting online is easy!" title="Meeting online is easy!" width="225" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-2053" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Meeting online is easy!</p></div><strong>We have all come across</strong> an interesting, seemingly, person on a dating site, then when you click into their profile they haven&#8217;t written much about themselves at all.</p>
<p><strong>One of three things usually happens:</strong><br />
<strong>1)</strong> You skip by them, despite the initial attraction to their photo or headline, a little sadder by their lack of detail of themselves;<br />
<strong>2)</strong> You send them a message, describing yourself, trying hard to be interesting to them, as you guess (fantasize) how they might be attractive to you;<br />
<strong>3)</strong> You send them a short message, saying &#8220;Hi&#8221; wondering if they will reply or not.</p>
<p>The real way to send a message to someone that hasn&#8217;t completed their profile or answered all the profile questions, is to ask them the same questions that they didn&#8217;t answer in your email.</p>
<p>By doing this you aren&#8217;t being pushy or nosy, you&#8217;re simply asking questions about what most other members have already answered.</p>
<p>As well, you are giving this person, who initially seems attractive or interesting to you, the opportunity to meet you.</p>
<p><strong>And that is a very special opportunity indeed!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>About Perfect Match</strong></p>
