10 Things Never To Do In Online Dating
By David Wygant. Posted on .
7) When asking for more pictures, do so without any references of “Can you please send me a picture so I can see your body?” Ask her if she’d like to exchange more pictures . . . which means, you send some and she sends some. Several women have complained to me that men ask them to send pictures of themselves in bikinis or other such things, so that men can see their body. Men, don't do this!
8) Don’t get offended if she doesn’t want to talk to you on the phone right away and/or wants to talk to you via email first to get to know you. You need to be flexible and open to her suggestions. Sometimes you may need to email back and forth for a week and sometimes she'll give you her phone number right away. Either way . . . don't be rude.

9) Do not email stalk her. Many of my women clients have complained to me about men that will email them several times a day for three weeks . . . until they are forced to block the emails from those men to get it to stop. Men, she got your email the very first time. She just may have chosen not to open it. By sending emails several times a day, not only are you turning her off . . . you're also freaking her out! You’ve become an online stalker. And that’s a guarantee that she’ll never go out with you.
10) When connecting with her for the very first time, don’t cut and paste an email in July that you’ve been sending out for six months with a tag line that says “I love the holidays.” By doing that, she knows that you’ve been lazy and that you didn't read her profile. A woman who reads your cut and paste and sees you talking about “the holidays” in July immediately knows that you didn't read a word of her profile. You will never get her to respond that way. By cutting and pasting the same things to every woman you contact online, it's showing every woman you contact that you're nothing but really, really lazy!
In all my years of coaching people how to date online, it still amazes me that a lot of men don’t have the social etiquette to succeed online.
