Long-Distance Dating Part I: Should You Do It? By Nicolle Williams

"Online dating has literally exploded in popularity. In one study from Jupiter Research*, by 2008 online dating will hit $642 million in revenue, which means the way singles meet, mingle, get to know one another, date, and form relationships has changed. One of the many significant implications has been a rise in long-distance dating.

Making the First Move: Women CAN Avoid a Missed Opportunity and Still Let Men Lead the Way

This is a GREAT topic to talk about. In my opinion, women can make the first move without being obvious. For example, just by giving eye contact or smiling is letting him know there is interest. From personal experience, just by doing that, I gave the man the opportunity to come and talk to me without me having to walk over and talk to him. I think being online is similar. On FaithMate you have the opportunity to search and find different men you are interested in. Sending a smile is initiating conversation, and showing interest in a subtle way.
