While talking by email or online do not divulge your life story. His eyes will start to glaze over and he will surely fall straight out of his chair. Be sure to keep it short and sweet until he gets around to asking you for more details?then reveal them slowly and only answer the questions that he asks. For example: If you are asked how many brothers and sisters you have, he is NOT asking for details of any interactions you have with them. He only wants to know the number of siblings you have. Say you have 1 (or whatever is correct) and then ask the fellow how many he has. Every time he asks you a questions, you should ask a question of him. Nothing turns a man off like a really long-winded woman who just doesn't know how to clam up or know how to listen.
Don't ever, EVER lie. I believe that lies will catch up with you sooner or later. Lots of women (and lots of many also) lie about their employment, height, weight, age, marital status and a wide variety of other things in their profiles placed online. That is a very large error to make. If you encounter a man that you are really interested in, he will find out that you didn't tell him the truth and there goes any possibility of the relationship progressing. So, just be sure to be honest. Someone is out there who will grow fond of you?even come to love you?for precisely who you are.
Don't let yourself be too eager. It makes you appear desperate and it really puts a man off. They are first and foremost conquerors and if getting the woman of their desires to like them too , they will soon lose their interest. I'm not suggesting that a woman should play ?hard-to-get?. What I'm suggesting is, Be patient and don't push for a meeting face-to-face. Don't make the mistake of emailing them or IM'ing them too often. You should always play it safe and play it cool.
