Virtual communication will bring a lot of new opportunities for singles: now even shy people can pretty quickly find both friends with the same interests, and partners for a romantic relationship. To do this, just spend some time on certain Internet sites, fill in the form, add your photo, and then - to communicate, to look closely to the new virtual friends, and meet with the most interesting of them in the real world. However, anyone who has tried to strike up interesting acquaintances on the internet will tell you that this is not so easy.

Terms of virtual dating

• Be careful with personal information

Safety first. The Internet in general should be placed as little as possible personal data, but especially with respect to dating sites and other virtual "places" where people normally socialize with strangers. On dating sites are not recommended to specify the exact place of work, home address, phone number, his name (especially if it is rare), and publish the photos taken at all at home - if you see the number and name of the street, the car - if you can see her license signs. In a word, to insure the event that a stranger fell madly in love you photograph, and decides to find you even on the edge of the world, even despite the lack of sympathy on your part. Also do not forget about possible fraud cases using data unwary Internet users.

• Do not lie

Never publish false information about their age, weight, height, income, and so on. The same applies to the use of other people's pictures, or their, but strongly retouched photos - no need to do this, be yourself. If you find a person with whom you want to meet in person, you will be very uncomfortable for lying. Frankly writing about intentions. If you are looking for a man for sex for one night - and write, if you want a serious relationship - write about it. You do not need any "first look more closely to each other, but we'll see what happens." Look closely you will, in any case, but few people like people who do not know themselves what they want.

• Do not focus too much on photographs

The man in the photo can only remind ourselves about in real life: a lot depends on the angle, lighting, and other factors. Looking through the pages for online dating sites do not make definitive conclusions about the exterior and lovely people in their photos - especially if it is only one page. Celebrate what is most important to you: for example, if you absolutely do not want to meet with a bearded man bearded miss page. Other details of the appearance you can properly see in person, so long as pay attention to other information.

• Do not pay too much attention to small details

What kind of music a person likes, what movies are watching what the kitchen loves (unless it is a strict vegetarian or vegan) - such details do not need to attach great importance during virtual communication. Pay attention to the more general information: where a person lives, what his level of education, whether it produces the impression of an intelligent and polite person? If it is not right for you to these characteristics, it is unlikely the rest of the details will make the difference.

• Ignore information about personal characteristics presented on page dating site

A person can write that he is an optimist, honest and true, or that he had a wonderful sense of humor, but the reality may be quite different. The reason for this is not necessarily that he deliberately lied to elicit sympathy, just people find it difficult to be objective when evaluating your own personal qualities.

• Evaluate communication style

The general tone and style of e-mails and chat messages can tell the person more than the information on the page dating site. If you have something troubling, for example, excessive aggression or boastfulness companion, most likely, he does possess these qualities, moreover, in reality they may be to you even more unpleasant than in the virtual space. Virtual communication somehow gives personality as a human being, even if he tries to play the role of someone else, taking advantage of the relative freedom of the Internet.

• Do not tighten with the meeting in a reality

To make a person more or less accurate representation, it is necessary to talk to him personally. Virtual communication does not assess the many details of the image of man - from the smell to the body language. Of course, you can feel sympathy and even fall in love with a virtual image, but it's not much better than, for example, the love of a fictional character.

Lies in the virtual space

Why is it often happens that the real meeting comes not quite that - or no one - man you were when communicating on the Internet? Because people often tend to embellish reality to add yourself appeal, and the Internet allows you to do this quickly and easily. Which characteristics of the people lie more often?

• Growth

The growth lie both sexes, but men do it twice as often as women. According to one survey, 22% of men and 10% of women were given the wrong information about its growth when the plant explore the Internet (mostly - on dating sites), but the actual numbers may be even higher. Men overestimate its growth, and it is not surprising - we all know that most women prefer tall men, and the statistics dating sites says that such men receive the most messages. As for women, they sometimes underestimate your height by a few centimeters, because they know that many men are like miniature beauties.

• Weight

Men and women with approximately the same frequency underestimate their weight, but women take away from his real weight, on average, 4 kg, and men - 1 kg.

• Build

Most men on dating sites describe their physique as "sports", but pictures often say more. Even if the pictures show only the face, it is best to write honestly, that you have medium build, or have a couple of extra kilos, as early as the first date First date: everything is just beginning   it will be seen, whether you go to the gym at least once a week.

• Years

Ironically, the lie about the age of two-thirds of men and only 17% of women. Most people who distort information about their age, add or take away one or two years, and only occasionally real age is different from the virtual to ten years or more.

• Income

Many men tend to exaggerate their income by 20% to 40%, because they know that it is important for women. Experts advise not to specify in a questionnaire their level of income, if you think it makes you less attractive to women.
