   Browsing through the personal classifieds can be frustrating if you don’t know what qualities or the type of personality it is that you are searching for in the person you are seeking, or in the relationship you are seeking.
   Questions you need to ask yourself are:
   "Why are you searching for someone"
   "Do you want a serious relationship or just to make friends with someone new with the hopes of dating, a companion or/and a pen pal..."
   "Who are you looking for, are you searching for someone young, old, divorced, widowed, single, married, tall, short, thin, stout, and the list goes on to include all personal choices and preferences in people."
   Ok, you've found someone who matches your profile and interests. What to do now? Write an email to introduce yourself and let that person know you are interested. Find below some possible email subjects to break the ice and find out what else you and your match have in common:
   

 

• Comment on why you are interested in their profile,
  e.g.: "Your eyes are so beautiful! Please let me see them". You can also add a bit of humor.
• Comment on what you have to offer.
• Comment on their hobbies and interests.
• Ask their to name a favourite color, music, film, actor, recipe, food, etc.
• Give them a nice compliment.

Ask them to elaborate on a comment that they've made.

• Did something in their dating profile remind you of a great story? Share it!
• Share a common belief with your match.
• Talk about a recent news story relevant to something in their profile.
 

  MeetingLand also recommends you to practice caution and common sense. Careful, well-thought decisions generally lead to better results in dating, and this is certainly true with online dating too. Don’t fall in love at the click of a mouse. Be selective. Remember that there are people ideally matching the role of lover, for fun, only not a serious relationship. Ask questions and make sure you are satisfied with the answers. Be sure people have the same viewpoint about relationship. If your new friend says he/she wants marry you, but you are not sure if this woman/man is your soul mate, let her/him know that you want to get to know her/him and experience a relationship before you consider anything serious.
  Pick up the phone. A phone call can provide valuable insight into a person’s communication and social skills. Do not give out your personal phone number. Instead, try a cell phone number or make arrangements to call from a pay phone. Send your phone number when you feel comfortable doing so.
  Meet when ready. Online dating service provides interchange of emails that allows to realize whether a person is your soulmate, without having to date. There is never an obligation to meet anyone and you can always change your mind if you do decide to arrange a meeting.
Stay away from people exhibiting behavior such as demeaning or disrespectful comments. Watch out for if a person provides inconsistent information on physical and personality characteristics, refuses a phone conversation after establishing an online relationship, people only call you, not allowing you to call them, doesn't provide direct answers to direct questions. At the same time don't be too judgmental. Open a dialogue and try to evaluate finally the person while first e-mail exchanges. Any dating relationship has stumbling-blocks. If you're really serious about dating, you'll overcome them and get what you are looking for.

   Solution: Use Internet Explorer V5.0 or later as your browser instead of AOL. Click on "start" on the bottom left of your screen, then "programs", then "Internet Explorer".
