Online Dating Etiquette: Dos and don'ts

Just as there is etiquette in dating, there are also guidelines if you want to be a graceful and gentlemanly user of the Internet to meet people -- and if you want cyberlove to cross over into real-life. Just as you would never talk with your mouth full, you should follow some codes of etiquette when communicating, hooking up, and "dating" via the Internet:

• DO be honest about yourself. Should you ever get to the stage of meeting your love interest in person, it could be a rude awakening for him if you fabricated a few key things about yourself) as in, you're not a 105-pound blonde . . . ).
  
  
• DON'T reveal everything there is to know about yourself, as in dating in real-life. Leave something to the imagination (and also wait until your really know the person).
  
  
• DO be respectful of the other person's privacy, without demanding too much.
  
  
• DO refrain from profanity.
