So, you've finally found a few pictures of yourself where you look normal, just the right amount of attractive, but not showing much skin. Your profile is informative without being a novel and it represents your personality well with just a hint of your natural sass, but not too much so you don't scare people off. You've received some weird messages that make you feel slightly uncomfortable and now you're starting to send messages to the people you've decided are not so insane and happen to love the same Jane Austen novel and Justin Bieber song as you (and in my case, well, they're not unattractive...). Congratulations! Unfortunately, not everyone is as excited about your new-found time-suck as you are.
Here are some examples of what not to do:
Don't email your friends clips of profiles of people you found interesting. They're usually not interested.
Don't copy and paste the profiles of everyone you find mildly attractive or witty in to a document and send it to your friends on a regular basis. They have lives. They don't care.
Don't make every conversation about who you've messaged or who's viewed your profile. The probably don't care.
Don't deactivate your facebook only to substitute with creeping on the online dating website. This is counterproductive and defeats the purpose of deactivating said account.
Do limit the number and length of your visits to said dating site.
Do limit the frequency and length of your discussions about online dating site.
Basically, though none of the actions I listed is really terrible, everything in moderation. In my case, this should be amended to extreme moderation given my impending physics midterm on Friday and the lack of emails I've received from friends with respect to the number I've sent.
Happy Thursday!
