I’ve dated online for a couple years now, and someone has to tell you guys. Read the following and adhere to it closely, otherwise you might as well move back in with mom and stock up on tv dinners.

Rule #1 – Do not, I repeat, do not put a photo of yourself that is 10 years old. The only thing worse than that would be putting a celebrity photo. If we met, it’s obviously not a current photo, and the lady of your dreams might just high tail it in the other direction. Be honest from the start.

Rule #2 – Do not send nude photos. Thanks, but no thanks. We’ll ask if we want them, but don’t hold your breath.

Rule #3 – Don’t lie about your income. It’s like us girls lying about our weight, and you can pretty much see the truth on a first meeting, which will probably be the last too.

Rule #4 – Sex. It’s not a given pending the amount of dates. So don’t expect it, or not expect it. It’s really how the relationship goes. (Sidebar – if you smell, it isn’t going to happen, but that’s just me)

There’s probably lots more, but I’ll save that for another time.
