No man (or woman) is an island.
As long as we live and breathe, we will be social creatures.
Everyone has that innate longing for companionship, for someone to talk to, listen to, and comfort.
Even those we may think of as "cold" or "distant" invariably as someone at their side.
It is an empty feeling when someone has no one to call his or her own.
Online dating can be a boon in this regard.
The Web offers numerous sites at which you can meet, make friends, and form a relationship with others.
Whether you are single, divorced, widow or widower, there are online dating sites especially designed to cater to your needs.
As with any other form of dating, however, one needs to equip oneself with the know-how to make the most of it.
To do so, follow the dating strategies which have been proven to work through long tradition and which will always work: 1.
While it may be attractive for women to appeared discreet and demure, a man needs to take a more proactive approach or he will most likely find himself spending a lot of time alone.
Certainly, being timid or shy when it comes to dating will be a serious roadblock.
2.
Build up the confidence to look for the one you want.
Michael Morgenstern, author of "How to Make Love to a Woman,"asked a lot of women what they found most sexy in man, and they discovered a few things that may surprise you.
Women do not look for movie star good looks, big muscles or macho attitude (good news for most men)! However, they do look for a man who is confident and feels comfortable with himself and around others.
3.
Don't talk about sexual topics too soon.
Doing so prematurely will be seen as a come on or overly aggressive and will turn women off.
Women like it when men who can show sex appeal by their actions rather than by their words.
Opening a car or restaurant door for a woman, or guiding her through a crowd with a protective hand around the waist will do far more than overly aggressive talk.
4.
According to Morgenstern, as much as women admire confidence, they share a distaste for overconfidence.
"The cult of the Lady killer," or the Don Juan attitude is to be avoided 5.
Women want men who can be close to them.
They don't want guys who put on airs.
Guy shouldn't dwell on their troubles, but they should be willing to talk about them.
Women are willing to discuss issues that are close to their hearts and they look for the same kind of intimacy from men.
6.
Finally, don't be afraid to show your passions, that you have a zest for life.
If you have a lot of interests and enthusiasms, if you show fascination with the world around you, it will serve as an indication to many a woman that you will be enthusiastic about your relationship with her.
