Hi, I'm Marilyn Anderson, I'm the author of the dating book "Never Kiss a Frog." I'm here
today on behalf of expertvillage.com talking about how to do effective internet dating.
Now we're at the point where we've met a few people online. We've emailed back and forth,
we've had some phone conversations, and now we've set up some dates. We've arranged them
in a comfortable place and set up a time. My first recommendation is get there on time.
There's nothing worse than someone waiting for a person they don't know and wondering
if they're going to show up or if you're being stood up. So have the courteous to be on time.
Or if you're going to be more than 10 minutes late, give the person a call to let them know
you're coming. Then you get there, do they look like their picture or don't they? Let's
say it's a great looking date and you're really excited and sit down and you have a good time.
Don't give away too much too soon. It's always good to have a little mystery. You want to
know does this person like you before you pour your heart out, oh I'm so glad we met,
let's get married next week. Uh uh, too soon. So enjoy the moment, enjoy the date, but don't
let everything out right away. Now if you're not that fond of the person, you're sitting,
you're having a time or they're not who they say they were, why make it an unpleasant time?
Enjoy the moment you never know. Maybe they'll be able to help you with a business contact
or maybe you can become friends. Or maybe they'll know someone else who's right for
you. I always think that you should just have a good time no matter what. That's being good
to yourself. So when you have that first date, be time, be nice, try to have fun. Hey and
if it doesn't work out and you go back home, can't wait to get on the internet again.
