So, you'd heard of online dating services and were skeptical at first. After going out to bars and clubs and not meeting anyone, you decided to go ahead and give it a shot. You researched and found the most popular sites and signed up with a few of them to make sure that no stone was left unturned.

You carefully crafted your profile, so that it was an honest reflection of you. No sense in lying, you're a nice guy and certainly worthy of a nice girl. You had your sister take a couple of pictures of you, because you know she'd make sure they would come out showing you in the best light and uploaded them.

Now comes the moment of truth. You carefully go through the profiles, looking for women that meet your requirements. You're ready to make contact, but you don't know what to say. It's different talking to a girl in a bar. Especially after having a few drinks. Now you feel like you're writing a love letter to the girl who sat in front of you in the seventh grade. Then, doubts begin to set in. What if her profile doesn't accurately describe her? Maybe she just wants a man to take care of her or her personality is not as she presents it. Don't be afraid my friend. By asking the right questions, you will be able to determine if this is a woman that you truly want to go out with.

The first question that you should ask is what she feels are the mistakes that other men who are on the site have made. Pay close attention to her answer and see if what she says makes sense or if she has unreasonable expectations of men. This will be a big clue as to how well you will get along with her and whether or not she will be able to get along with you.

The next question to ask is how she feels about online dating in general. This will give her the opportunity to voice any bad experiences she might have had. By listening to her, you will learn how to avoid making these same mistakes. This knowledge will help you with subsequent women that you correspond with as well.

The last and possibly biggest question to ask is how her last relationship ended. If she tells you that it was all her fault and that she broke her ex's heart, thank her for her time and move on to the next woman on the list.

If she says it was all his fault and that nothing he did was right, ditto. Move on. Chances are nothing you do will be right either. If she responds that it wasn't really anyone's fault that the two of them just didn't want to be together any more, bingo! Feel free to pursue her.

By simply asking the right questions, you've got a much better chance of finding the woman that's right for you.
