Figure out what you what:
That's self-explanatory. There's nothing more valuable on the quest to finding a meaningful relationship than time. Don't waste it. Make sure that you know what you're looking for and that respondents are on the same page.
Be honest:
This is the anthem of online dating. No one wants to buy a pig in a blanket.
Write a great profile: While a picture is worth a thousand words, a few actual sentences couldn't hurt. People want to know what's behind that glowing smile.
Chat on the phone:
You can learn a lot about a person from just observing their basic communication skills. It's easier to do that via telephone than via keyboard.
Meet when you are ready: It's more exciting if it's something you both want.
Request a photo
Watch for red flags, anger and intense frustration: Quick outbursts of shouting, the creepy eye-rolling, all are signs that under the ordinarily nice exterior may be a ticking time bomb. Be mindful of this, you wouldn't want to end up with someone like Uma Thurman's character in My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
Meet in a safe place
Take extra caution outside of your comfort zone: If you are taking a road trip or flight to meet your new honey, make your own arrangements. As always, let someone know where you'll be. Safety first.
Finally, never do anything you feel unsure about: In other words, don't do anything you would normally do on a first date.
