<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes, we can be a little bit secretive about the fact that we're spending time on online dating. People sometimes see the search for new love as quite a private thing, for example.<\/p>\n
But there's really no need to be secretive, especially in this day and age, when so many people are using the power of the internet as a way to find true love or friendship.<\/p>\n
Letting a friend in on your online dating adventure, and giving them a look at your dating profile, could be a really good idea.<\/p>\n
Someone who knows you well will be able to take a glance at the profile and tell you whether it reflects you well.<\/p>\n
Perhaps there are hobbies you could have mentioned but have forgotten about, for example. And maybe a pal can recommend a photo of you that really shows you off at your best?<\/p>\n
Talking to friends about the people who you chat with online, and asking for their advice, can also be a really useful addition to the online dating experience.<\/p>\n
Sometimes we're not sure about someone, but our friends can encourage us to keep seeing what happens if they sense there might be some potential in the match – or perhaps advise us that they don't see the match working well.<\/p>\n
It's important not to let other peoples' opinions put too much pressure on you, though: Sometimes it's best to do what you want to do in the end, but remember extra input can be really useful.<\/p>\n
So don't keep your online dating to yourself – if there's someone you can chat to about the experience, it could really help boost your chances of making the best of internet dating!<\/p>\n
And remember that, security-wise, if you go to meet someone new off the net in real life, having someone you know come with you is the safest way to handle things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
