How To Find A Boyfriend Online
« on: June 02, 2007, 11:52 PM »

Finding a boyfriend online used to be something almost shameful, usually associated with women who couldn't find a boyfriend using more conventional means. Today, however, online dating has become much more acceptable. The Internet doesn’t necessarily make the process of finding a boyfriend any easier but it may make it safer and save you some time.


Take a moment to determine your best qualities. What do you bring to the table in a relationship? Also figure out your deal-breakers, things that will sink the relationship no matter what.

Find a dating site that fits your needs. There are hundreds of sites specifically for online dating.

Sign up for a site by filling out the membership information. This will include things like your mailing address and e-mail address. Spread yourself around and cast your net widely so you are likely to catch at least one fish in the Internet sea.
Fill out a profile. When doing this, you will need pictures of yourself and a list of your interests.


Search other people's profiles. You can often narrow the number of profiles you look at by searching for specific criteria.


Chat online with your choices to create a short list of guys with potential.

Ask the guy to meet in person. Find a neutral, public spot. Let your friends and family know when and where you will be meeting.

dude do u have a girlfriend? if so where did you meet?

if you don't then i'D suggest you followed your advice on a good dating site instead of selfishly enriching the pond by changing multiple minds about online dating just so you could choose one.

personal opinion:
most of my dating has been online and i have no regrets.

Well online dating for Nigeria?? wow , I need to keep myself abreast with whats going on back home. someone just called you Dr Love, how can you explain a sitaution where you are talking to three or more women online trying to score one for a date and they all show interest in you?
how would you handle that without coming off as a player?
Personally i don't give a hoot about online dating but having your profiles at many dating sites gives the impression of a desperate man.

online dating doesn't really work to me, u can make friends online because i've made a lot friends via d web. but dating??,  well, anyone who wants to date online should be ultra careful and give it a period of at least a month after meeting before u dive into a relationship, always look before u leap Grin

I do not have a problem with people meeting online and subsequently dating, in reality.

What I do not understand is how people actually meet onlne and date online. It just doesnt sound realistic to me.

Online dating does work seldomly but it is much easier to make ordinary friends than dating online. One of the barriers is distance; call it logistics. However, I have once dated a babe online. She was at Ado-Ekiti poly and I was here in Lagos. She traced me down to Lagos. The magic wand at this point in time was my ability to move her emotions to a point where she longed for me uncontrollable. So in online dating you must be percieved to be honest, constructive, lively and romantic.

some people are bound to gain from this post, however, i personally don't subscribe to online dating because a lot of the so-called "daters" are actually scam artists. it's the easiest web of deception to spin - you don't have to be a rocket-scientist to figure it out! there are lots of socially acceptable physical ways to meet singles-millions! nothing can beat that. true, some people get lucky, but are the odds really feasible enough? it's much safer than putting your heart on the line for a stranger (who's probably lying, anyway). cheers

Who told u it's not common here in Nigeria,virtually all dating sites have nigerians on it and more nigerian dating sites have been launched.

Dating online has worked for so many people i know including myself,when u meet someone online u don't jst rush yourself into meeting with the person it's always better if u get to know the person better,share,chat,talk on phone with d person then you know if he/she is d right person,talking from experience,i'm not trying to lead u on though but i know it sure works but not 100% certified
