With the rise and rise of cyber dating more and more people are finding suitable partners… but just how suitable are they? 

Are they claiming to be a secret agent, or a jet fighter pilot, or even a millionaire? Do you really trust them? Well, a new service in the States has come to your rescue. It’s in the form of a specialist dating detective agency called Datesmart.

The specialist agency has been established for 10 years now and was founded by Carmen Naimish who spotted the niche. He said:

“I look for inconsistencies in a person’s life history, comparing their claims to the findings, whether it’s their age, marital status or the severity of trouble they’ve been in, criminally, financially, or with their prior relationships, if someone lies about one thing, they usually lie about other things.”

The goal at DateSmart is to be pre-emptive. “Daters are more at risk today, especially online daters,” says Naimish. “Being armed with accurate information about an individual can save your heart and your bank account. One of our investigations revealed the man my client was dating had been arrested for burglary two years prior, and he was currently under arrest for soliciting prostitutes. I showed his mug shot to the client, and advised her to have no further contact with him.”

As we are all starting to look to a computer screen (online) in search of our ideal partner most of us forget some very important do’s and don’ts of the cyber dating game, thereby limiting our dating success OR unnecessarily putting ourselves at risk.

Here are my top tips for cyber dating:

The Don’ts

DON’T feel disheartened if they don’t show an interest in you, just move on…

DON’T just sit there and wait to e contacted… go get em’ tiger.

DON’T lie in your profile, they will find out at some stage in the future.

DON’T ever give out your personal contact details. The world is full of weirdos.

DON’T meet them at the venue you are going to. It’s embarrassing if they never turn up!

DON’T go throwing your clothes off too early, they won’t respect you.

Cypriots were in the past introduced to each other through something called proxenia, basically arranged marriages. Whilst tradition still plays a major part in every Cypriots life, thanks to broxenia.com, they can make their own choices!

The site has already got over 1200 members and it is not long established. It was set up solely for Greeks and Greek Cypriots and retains its original ethos, to strengthen the worldwide Greek community
Josephine Charalambous, the 24 year old ‘barrister & founder of the site recently told the Sunday mail:

“It all started many years ago. I used to have friends of both sexes come up to me and ask if I had any suitable friends to fix them up with.”

In the UK alone the Greek and Cypriot community totals over 500k people so there is certainly a healthy market for her to target.

Obviously it depends upon how long you dated them for. If it was a quick encounter then why not… get out there, I’m sure you won’t be too cut up about them anyway.

However, it’s a slightly different story if the relationship lasted some time or you were really cut up about the split. Don’t go dating if you don’t feel up to it is my advice to you – wait until it feels right and you are entirely comfortable with the idea of it.

Find your freedom again, whatever you decide to do!!!

Time on your own after a relationship that’s lasted a while is a must, and the reason for this is that you need to get to know yourself again and what you want from life. We tend to depend heavily on partners, and when they go you will no doubt discover that it feels lonely without them… but just try to understand who you have now grown to become. We change constantly in our outlooks and priorities for living and getting to know yourself by being single allows you to develop an idea as to new goals, motivators, and of course new friends. Being single isn’t that bad anyway, you are not committed to anyone or anything so you can be as selfish as you want until you are ready again.

It’s always a bit of a grey area on a date, you don’t want to freak them out by sounding too heavy, but you do want them to know that you do like them and would like to see them again.

Ladies are hugely sensitive to things we men say on early dates so therefore if you do like her then you can make it clear in either 1 of 2 ways without being too blatant and opening yourself up too early.

The first way to show that you like them is through body language (check out my articles here).

Secondly, it lies in what you say. Here are 5 great things to say to a female date that will relax her, and show her that you like what you see without getting heavy to early:

1 – You look fantastic, that colour really suits you.

2 – I feel I’ve known you for ages! You’re really easy going.

3 – I had fun and it would be great to do this again soon. (at end of date of course).

4 – There’s a great film on at the cinema at the moment (describe film), I’m off to see it and if you want to join me then feel free.

5 – I really enjoy your company.
