Internet Dating Etiquette

Hi ladies,

I would like to pick your brain for a bit.

I just recently joined a Christian dating site and I want to know what is appropriate etiquette for a Christian woman.

I know that with in-person dating, women are not supposed to make the first move with a guy. I'm guessing that this still applies for internet dating as well. So, that means that on this site I can't "nudge" or "wink" or "poke" someone? I wait until a guy shows interest, correct?

I think nudging/winking/poking is ok. Statistically, there are many more women than men on dating websites and letting a guy know you are there is perfectly acceptable. When I was online, I generally waited a day or two after receiving a match before I made any contact, and then I'd send my first set of questions (this was eHarmony). If he's not interested, he'll either do nothing or close you out. You don't have much to lose.

I agree with melissa. There is a difference between showing yourself to be open and approachable and being desperate. One simply repsonds to action and keeps it moving. The other borders on cyber stalking and the paralysis of analysis (i.e., "what did he mean by that emoticon?") Guys are clear when they want to be and not clear when they don't want to.
