My experience on the Yahoo Personals dating site was an awesome one; as I have met, and married, the exact kind of man I was hoping for!

My advice for internet dating is that first of all, you choose a reputable dating site; such as Yahoo Personals.

After that, be as honest as possible about yourself. Be somewhat cautious about whether the person you are connecting with is being totally honest about theirself, until you spend some time with that person.

Also, make it clear where you are coming from, and what sort of relationship you're interested in pursuing. If you're not feeling ready for a serious relationship, or if you are, make sure you are being totally upfront about it.

Keep an open mind...the guy or girl of your dreams may not have the color hair you were thinking, or be as tall, short, thin, big...(you get the idea).

Don't be liberal with your personal information.

If you feel you have really clicked with someone and are comfortable with it, talk on the phone.

If that goes well and you want to meet, be sure to drive your own vehicle, and meet at a public place.

If that goes well, eventually you can begin giving out more personal information, such as where you live. But take your time to get to know as much as possible about the person you are getting aquainted with. A good way to do that is to meet his or her friends, and family.

You may find some good friends, and/or possibly the love of your life!
