Facebook Dating with Local Singles Tips

Following up on the discussion and coverage I’m giving to dating on Facebook and looking for love online at the Social Networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Twitter, Hi5, and Eons.  Each site has different features allowing you to search in your area on the other members of the site and to search on the various categories of their profile.  Additionally, different cities and metro areas, the singles who are on the site vary in terms of how open they are to meeting other singles from the site, even if they do cite that they are single.

What About Locals?

When they live in your metropolitan area, then go ahead and do be open to emailing.

What About Instant Messaging Before Meeting?

I always recommend avoiding Instant Messengering.  Why?  Because in most cases they are a tremendous waste of time!  If your name begins with As and Bs like mine does, when you are Online at Facebook shows at the tops the Available for Chat list to your 1357 Facebook friends!

With you showing at the top of the list, they are predisposed to wanting to open a Facebook Instant Messenger chat session with you!

Time Waster:

Facebook Instant Messenger sessions can take 30-60 minutes just to engage in small talk.  What a tremendous waste of your precious and valuable time!  Don’t do it!  Don’t succumb to the temptation.

Date Avoidance:

An Instant Messenger session is all the time commitment of an actual Date but you two chickened out and wouldn’t commit to meeting.  Instant Messaging can be great once you’ve met and are dating.  But leave it out of the pre-date string of behaviors.

Do Aim to Meet In Person:

Just as with Social Networking’s niche group Internet Dating sites, I recommend exchange a few emails to demonstrate a mutual ability to small talk and establish a little mutual interest.  And then get going and go ahead and arrange to meet in person for goodness sake!

Tomorrow I will address more of the items to be cautious and wary of when Facebook Dating.

Happy Dating and Relationships,
