Online Dating in Thailand

How to Get A Date on the Internet

“Looking for a relationship?”

Tired of waiting for “THE” soul mate that will brighten up your life? Can he or she truly exist in this life? Would you ever stop looking for “THE” one?

First things first, ask yourself, “Who are you really seeking? A pen pal or a friend? (to virtually exchange with and talk to) or is it a true soul mate? (harder to find) or a life partner? (to build a future with) or is it simply a lover? Or a one-night stand? (for serious lust and excitement)”.

The next question that logically pops up is what to do if there is a response, “Are you just going to stay behind your computer waiting and freaking out or will you stand up and go the whole nine yards to achieve your goal?”

If you choose the former, then go back to square one and start again, you missed the point and you’re a wimp not serious in achieving your goal but if you decide to pursue, read on...

Internet has now been the in-thing for the last few years and effectively eases your quest for romance, love and the lot. IT helps everyone from Asian to Western backgrounds to break the ice and make their connections. If you are now looking for a relationship with Asians, you might be wondering how this can pan out via IT, because Asians, unlike Westerners are well unique and abounded cross-cultural gaps in culture and lifestyle, especially if you are seeking a Thai.

Thinking of searching here are a few tips.

1. Register for free on dating websites. This is easy! Thousands of websites are free membership. Register and post your profile, your photo galleries and your classified ads (real ones don’t be shy).

2. Make up online personal ads. This is the great way to meet your dates having everything in common. But what are you going to write in there? What qualities of your date are you looking for? What qualities do you bring to the relationship? What are your hobbies, what do you indulge in? Be honest about who you are and write the ads with conversational style, never being sexually explicit.

3. Read the online personal ads and write an introduction/contact letter. A reflection of your personality will reveal your interest into what you are searching in a relationship.

4. Communicate/chat online being your normal self and be ready, have an open minded attitude. It builds up a good relationship if you have EXCITING, INTERESTING and FUN conversation. For example, you could try being cool in language using RAP words to be fun such as “Yo, what’s up?” but don’t go over board for the whole conversation as your date will think you are a freak and you will lose out. Using a cool profile name like “NICE GUY” as your screen name generates interest and probably land more dates. Remember you like everybody else are gullible be street smart in your approach.

5. Use a web cam, to have FUN. Most of your dates want to see how the person they are chatting up to looks like. Handsome? Ugly? Sexy? Old? Young? It is as close to a face-to-face meeting you will ever get. If you strike you strike.

If you think you are ready to show your face to attract more dates then get a cam now from Pantip they are cheap and easy to install. But don’t forget, do not get naked in front of the cam yet, you will definitely burn out on the first pass if you do.

For inexperienced/first-hand users male or female, unavoidable mistakes and disasters will probably happen. Be aware of the following “DO NOT”.

  1. Send a message like a whole essay. Keep it short to a couple topics. Straight to the point.
  2. Say the same old thing your dates have received from thousands of people. That’s BORING and you will be pegged from day one.
  3. Be self-depreciative talking about your hardships in life. You will surely be pegged and a goner, the word will get around.
  4. Show off like “blah blah blah” talking about yourself, your job, your status, your education. Let your dates discover who you are gradually. Mysterious and interesting!
  5. Get on the sex wagon unless that is in a nutshell what you are seeking. There are a multitude of specialized sites to go to. If your point is to find a serious relationship be discrete.
