What not to do when online dating

Making a huge mistake can be the end of a budding online relationship, so it is always worth trying to stick to the guidelines that have been developed through many years of experience.

You must remember that as the other person cannot see you, you need to compensate in other ways, such as by telling them exactly what they want to hear.

The Jewish Journal has come up with several top tips, which include not posting photographs that have been taken in the bathroom and show you topless.

Another is honesty, as there is no point in suggesting you are younger than you are, or that you live somewhere different to where you really do.

You should also never mention any success with women, and avoid phrases such as "unleash your beast".

The news source also advised not lying when it comes to minor details such as favourite film, as if you try to appear romantic and sensitive you will soon be found out when your top movie is really a horror.
