Successful Online Dating

Do you think you have men figured out? Well, maybe you don't…men tend to be indirect and women often find men hard to understand. Continuing our series from Christian Carter's "10 Mistakes Women Make…"

Relying On Your Natural Ability To Judge A Man's Character

People aren't easy to figure out.

Especially men.

The last several years of my life I've spent hundreds of hours learning to understand people.

I've studied peoples behavior, "inner psychology" and more specifically how they think and act when they're dating.

From what I've seen, both men and women have their own secret ways of saying things.

Continuing our serious on mistakes women make with men and how you can avoid them - from Christian Carter, author of Catch Him and Keep Him.

Assuming You “Get” Men & Their Psychology

Men are different from women.

You need to accept this fact, and deal with it.

When a woman sees a man, she can very quickly pick apart certain things about his style, body language, status and character that will tell her all kinds of things about him.

Lots of women don't even consciously see that they do this because the process is so obvious and simple for them.

Christian Carter has written an e-book about dating and relationships, Catch Him and Keep Him, that I downloaded about a year ago. I learned quite a lot from it and need to reread it once in awhile to keep all that information fresh in my mind!

With permission, we're disclosing some of his tips on dating and relationships between men and women. Some of it you may already know, but some of the information may be new to you.

Each one of these needs some thought, so we're running this as a daily series for 10 days. Subscribe to our feed so you don't miss one!

Often with online dating, someone is interested in someone, but the feeling is just not mutual? So, what should we do when this occurs? Do you let them know? Do you ignore or block them? Do you immediately delete your profile?

Gentle Let Down or Nasty Put Down?

I have, in the past, sent a few rejection letters. Once, I had a gentleman I work with send me a message. Other times I have had someone message me multiple times. Both times I tried to be polite and let them down in a gentle, nice way.

The best online article I've ever read about physical attraction and dating is Attraction-Wise, written by Lanie Delplhin, who owns a Massachusetts dating service.

Looking for the Spark

If you're like me, you tend look for physical attraction and a 'spark' the first time you meet someone…which is not the smart thing to do:

It's so easy, when you've just come out of a long relationship or marriage, to jump right into a new relationship as fast as possible. In fact, if you're feeling really needy, you will probably quite actively look for a "new love" to fill the void in your life.

There are a number of people on online dating sites in that emotionally rocky position, which is dangerous for them and for you, too, as a potential, unintended victim of their needs.
