One of the first key problems that a lot of people face when they decide to try online dating is trying to attract people to their profile. One of the second key problems people have is trying to come to terms with what they really want. When you spend time measuring people against your list of 'He or She Must Be This Or That', you place yourself in a situation where you may just end up waiting for that special someone that never comes. People place unrealistic expectations on their online dates without really thinking about what it is they are truly looking for.
When you meet a person face to face, you take time to get to know them. There may be things about them that you don't like, but you balance those things against the things you do like. More often than not, the minor flaws they have don't stop you from pursuing a relationship with them. You get together and you have some issues and you work through them. That is the normal, typical progression of a non-online relationship. When you 'meet' someone online, you start out from a completely different position. You create your list of wants and don't wants and then you work from there. The problem is that you often exclude perfectly good people because they don't have all of the qualities you want on the list. Instead of looking at the long term outlook the way that you do when you are trying to date someone face to face, you start placing all kinds of conditions and requirements on the type of people that you will talk to - without considering the others. Spend some time and really think about not only what you are looking for, but also the natural growth of relationships. If you meet someone that doesn't meet your requirement of loving car races, maybe you can meet someone that likes cars that you can introduce to car racing. You have to think about the long term. If you aren't willing to give people a chance online, you may end up waiting a long time for Mr. or Mrs. Perfect. Think about it. Written By Kila Morton
