You have an attraction to a particular nationality. You think that French men are ooh-la-la. Women of Asian persuasion float your boat. Italians pull your pasta. You absolutely adore the romance of Rome, and hope to settle down there some day. You and your family have immigrated to another country and you cannot find a mate of you nationality; you get my drift. What ever the reason you desire to have a meaningful international relationship; the problem is that you live half way around the globe from all of your dreams and desires.
Once the decision is made to go global;
what do you do next?
The following article provides some interesting ideas, pros, and cons along with some helpful advice on successful international internet dating.
To begin with, if you don't have the means to start a long distance relationship, don't start one.
RID YOURSELF OF OLD GARBAGE, I mean baggage; if you are engaged, married, separated, or otherwise involved in a serious, or committed relationship, or any relationship at all, for that matter; do yourself, and everyone else who might potentially be involved, a favor; do not start a new relationship until all previous relationships are completely dissolved, extinguished, kaput!
If you are a jealous or insecure person, do not even consider yourself a candidate for a long distance relationship; it won't work for you. You will only end up torturing yourself, and the other party. I once had a long distance boyfriend freak-out because I was not at home to answer, his spontaneous 8 o'clock in the morning, phone call one weekend. He was sure that I had spent the night elsewhere. In reality, I was out walking my little dog, so her bladder wouldn't burst.
Okay, you are a very patient, understanding, independently wealthy person who hasn't been involved with anyone in so long that the other side of your bed has cobwebs on it; now what?
The first step is to decide exactly what it is you are looking for in a relationship.
PUT TOGETHER A DATING PLAN - Read the article, Who, What, When, Where, and Why. Be honest with yourself and itemize your preferences.
Whatever your preference is - from style to sex, create your preferences list. Be specific, for example: If you prefer big-busted women, a flat chested woman, a woman with junk in the trunk, or a woman with no butt at all, put it on your wish list. Just the mere fact that you have qualified your desires, the fact that you have acknowledged them helps to puts what you are looking for out there in the ethers. Immediately, it ups the odds that you will find the person that you are looking for.
Once you have decided exactly what you are looking for then you are ready for your search. Begin by surfing the web for international dating sites. Some sites are quite specific, geared to a specific country or culture, for example: Russian dating sites, Asian dating sites, Spanish dating sites, dating sites from the Philippines, or Scotland; other sites are more general, covering a host of countries from across the globe.
DO NOT PRETEND TO BE SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE NOT! Once you find a site that you feel suites your needs fill out a profile. Be honest about yourself. -There is nothing worse then finding, "the one," only to loose them because you do not live up to their expectations, or because you have been caught in a lie.
Be sure to post a recent picture. Make sure that the picture is visible, not to dark, and make sure it is flattering to you. Most importantly, make sure that the photo is no more than a year old. Make sure that the picture reflects something about your personality. Make sure the picture is in good taste, unless you want to let the world know that you are a sleazy horn-dog. Remember first impressions are lasting impressions. If you are trying to make a good impression, showing too much skin can give the wrong impression
BE CLEAR ABOUT YOUR INTENTIONS. If you are looking for a serious relationship that will lead to marriage then say so! The same thing applies if you are only looking for friendship, or a casual relationship. Specify if you plan to travel to meet your soul mate, or if you expect them to travel to you. Now surf the sites for potential partners. Once you find your potential partner, invite them to talk to you. Get to know the person well before you meet. Investigate that the person you are talking to, to ensure that they are who they say they are. Develop your relationship online for several months before you decide to meet. (Most people that I have surveyed think that you should talk to a person online for 6-12 months before you meet, in order for a better chance of a successful relationship.
Now start searching and have fun ...
