Online dating tips - kissing frogs with your mouse

I used to scoff at the idea - till I went to three weddings that were the result of online matches.
So while using a mouse doesn't mean you won't still kiss a lot of frogs, might definitely be worth a try if you're in the market for a new love!
A few tips:

• Dream up a creative user name to stand out from the crowd
• Create a unique and fascinating profile
  
• No padding or fibbing - it will come back to bite you.
  
• Cast your net wide to increase chances of hearing from people
  
• Stay positive, be patient
  
• Don't get too personal - be wary of those who do
  
• Keep responses short and sweet - save the lengthy prose for when the two of you have connected further.
• Answer all responses - the gem may be hidden among them.
• Romance is wonderful but let's be on guard out there. Trust your instincts.
  
• Keep personal info private - name, address, phone, city, company, etc.
• Create an anonymous email account.
• Use a cellphone if you make contact, not your home phone.
• Meet in public, with a friend lurking in the background.
• And above all -- have fun! Maybe I'll have another wedding to attend soon!
