The first thing you do after signing up for an internet dating site is create your profile, including photos and a list of your personal traits. If you're smart you'll include a few personal attention grabbing essentials and maybe even a humorous little story about yourself to showcase your sense fun.
Now the fun begins; it's time to start searching for the man or woman of your dreams. Using the site's built in search, you select your dream date's criteria, hit the search button and wait for the results. Seconds later, your matches are displayed.
As you read through the profiles looking for clues of his or her personality, there are a few things you need to keep an eye out for. These are character traits that are not particularly flattering. More importantly, they could be relationship deal breakers.
Spitefulness. The occasional sarcastic remark disguised as a joke is amusing. But if your date has nothing but sarcastic and critical things to say about the people in his or her life, think twice. Ask yourself this question; If your date says nothing upbeat and encouraging about anyone else, what is he or she going to say about you?
Prior relationships. Most of us have a serious relationship (or two or three) in our past. If they ended badly, we likely learned something about ourselves in the process. But people who have only horror stories to share about their previous relationships may not have learned a thing about themselves or their past mistakes. Beware of perennial victims before you become one of the "bad guys".
Anger that's out of place. Sure, we all become incredibly angry at times. And if we handle it appropriately it's usually not a big deal. But be careful of someone who appears to be angry at the world. They likely blame everyone but themselves for their problems and sooner rather than later, you are going to get blamed for something.
Big Differences. Yes, opposites attract and variety is the spice of life. But if your differences are just too great, that spiciness is going to leave a bad taste in your mouth. Religion, drug use and the desire to have children are all examples of differences that, while they may not affect the short term, can be too difficult to overcome in the long run.
Dating and internet dating is all about getting to know someone. Figuring out whether that person as a whole "fits" you. Your choosing someone to spend your life with, so choose wisely!
