Make sure it is an up to date one showing you as you really are.

TIP 3 - Nobody wants or needs to hear about past failed relationships. No new relationship is going to be set alight talking about your past romances. Avoid it.

TIP 4 - Slowly, slowly is the key to a secure relationship. Don't rush into things and especially don't ask for phone numbers, personal e-mail addresses or to meet someone on your first chat on an online dating site. You need to get to know the other person first and that's important!

TIP 5 - If you do arrange to meet someone from an online dating service make sure you do it in a public place. It is not advised that the first meeting should at your or their apartment or house. You would be advised to take your own transport or have someone to pick you up at a moments notice if things don’t' work out.

TIP 6 - Don't give everything about yourself away too early, be a bit mysterious. If you think of it as part of the selling process you won't go far wrong. Keep some information back about yourself and leave the person wanting more. It works every time.

TIP 7 - Be positive and have a good attitude this will go a long way into the person wanting to be with you. If you're positive the people around you will be positive and will be seen as a shining star, nobody likes someone who moans a lot.

If you take it nice and slowly, get to know the other person first things will happen. When you exchange emails or IM's or chat on the phone, soon you'll know whether or not the other person will feel comfortable talking about sex.

TIP 9 - Use a bit of intelligence and common sense, be a bit street wise. The reason being that giving out any personal details to someone you've just met online and that includes your telephone number, e-mail address, social security number, credit card number, mothers maiden name, leaves you open to be abused It's not trying to scare you off but online dating communities are a safe place but it's still possible that you could end up meeting someone online who isn't who they say they are. You may be honest but be on the lookout for someone who might not. It is quite rare nowadays but it can happen.
