'Be courteous' when dating online

'Be courteous' when dating online

A courteous approach could yield the best results for single soldiers looking to hook up with prospective partners via the web.

Relationship expert for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Catherine Spencer said it is refreshing to see a man who is thoughtful when communicating with women online.

Replying to a reader's question regarding the best way to politely reject someone on the net, the specialist observed: "It's perfectly courteous to use your straightforward and honest approach. As for the less-direct 'fade out', it's fine too."

Ms Spencer suggested a gentle, direct manner should be employed by those wanting to tell someone they do not think they are a suitable match.

She added the blow can be softened by not leading a person on, but hurt feelings are always likely.

Wailin Wong recently observed in the Chicago Tribune the practice of online dating has now become part of mainstream society and has continued to increase in popularity over the last 15 years.
