Online daters ‘should be polite’

Hot soldiers keen to find love via the internet should be honest and polite with all those who get in touch.

This is according to the Independent, which notes: "Sometimes you will receive messages from people you're really not interested in, it's all part of the dating game."

However, singletons should not ignore these individuals or be rude to them, as they are likely to be in the same position at some point in the future.

Honestly telling them "thanks, but no thanks" should work well for both parties, the news source says.

Those who believe they have found a potential partner online could then consider meeting up in person, although it is important to stay safe and tell a friend where they are going and who with.

Viewing the entire process as an adventure is a good way to make the most out of internet dating, the Evansville Courier and Press recently suggested.
