Online Dating Qualifying Questions
After you’ve joined a few online dating services and written a killer profile that includes a good picture of you, you are ready to start meeting people.
Depending on your gender, you may or may not get a lot of interest. You may need to be proactive and immerse yourself in the community so you become known and aren’t seen as an outsider.
Once the contacts start coming in, you will need to know how to separate the ones you wish to engage from the ones you’ll want to avoid.
Guys want to avoid women that should be wearing labels like “Gold Digger” or “Daddy’s girl” and women need to avoid guys that should wear labels like “Mamma’s Boy” or “Abuser”.
Unfortunately, you cannot find out the answers to these questions by being direct. You do need to know what mistakes you can avoid making and how to impress this person if you decide you want to do that.
Both genders start out with small talk to get past the initial awkwardness we all experience when meeting new people.
After this step guys need to ask the woman a question like, “What are the biggest mistakes guys make when dating online?” Listen carefully to her answers. She’s going to tell you a lot about herself and her views on men in general.
A guy’s next question should be, “What do you really think about online dating?” Now she will tell you if she has had any bad experiences dating online and the answer will also help you avoid making the mistakes should you proceed with the relationship.
The third qualifying question, and in my opinion, the most important one is, “What caused the break up in your last relationship?” If she puts all the blame on the guy, you should probably move on to the next prospect. If she takes all the blame herself, you should probably do the same. If she says the breakup was by mutual consent or that the relationship just wasn’t right for either of them, you’ve heard the right answer. Move forward but always with caution.
I’m sorry ladies but I cannot honestly give you advice on asking the RIGHT questions for pre-screening guys but I think variations of the three I’ve mentioned here would give you a clue.
I know I’d have to honestly think before answering any of the above and I think that has value.
Asking the right questions in the beginning just might give you enough insight into the person so you can decide whether to press forward with this person or pass and continue looking. Both genders must use questions and proceed with caution whether doing online dating or dating in the real world.
