Step 1: Getting Started
Only fools rush in
where angels fear to tread.
It is always best to approach
unfamiliar territory with caution. You need to plan before you actually go out there
and start dealing your cards. Be sure about yourself and be sure about what you
want. Just because anyone and everyone can type out whatever they want in a
chat room doesn’t mean that we have to do the same.
The Internet has a wonderful
quality of being accessible to every one. But this same quality attracts all
kinds of people into it. But just because a lot of people who enter a chat room
have only dirt on their minds, it doesn’t mean that everyone is like that. If
you stick to the class that you have and maintain your poise, you can indeed
get the right kind of response.
There are a lot of nice people using the Internet, but it all depends on
what you do. Do onto others what you want them to do to you is the golden rule
that applies here. There are no rules for the game. All are players out there.
But just because others are ruffians, it doesn’t mean that you have to be one
too. Your approach is the only thing that can get you the kind of response that
you want.
I don’t think that it is very sensible to decide all of the sudden that
you would like to use the Internet to get a date. By just entering a chat room
and saying “I’m available” you are merely putting yourself up for sale, and
will most likely not get the results you desire.
One point that all of us have to understand is that in a chat room, all
are equal. Do not go by the misconception that entering a chat room is like
sauntering into a ball room dressed in your best. Then everyone turns to stare
at you and the most eligible person (read that as the sexiest person of the
opposite sex) catches your eye and makes his or her way towards you.
That kind of thing happens only on James Bond movies and we all know
that James Bond never goes in for a serious relationship. It’s all fun and
games for him.
Where Do You Start?
The first tip we would like to give you is NOT to go straight away into
a singles’ chat room and try to find somebody who would interest you. All of us
know that most of such chat rooms are virtually flooded with people who have
only one thing on their mind - sex.
