WASHINGTON POST -- Jan 28 -- (Written by a woman interviewed by The Washington Post whose mother helps her find dates on Match.com.) We do everything possible to please our man. You prefer French cooking? Mais oui, mon cher! You want my hair long? No problem. What the hell has happened? Match.com and other online dating services have given men access to a smorgasbord of women. We are bolting sooner and sooner if there is a lull in the conversation or the slightest hint of incompatibility, knowing that the next one will appear within a few mouse clicks. Be honest about your age and size. You may think you will charm him with your dazzling personality but you're simply wasting his time and yours if you lie. Don't respond to winks or messages from men with no photos, they're married or involved. If he doesn't ask to meet you within a week of phone calls and e-mails, he is either busy serial dating or too busy working to date you. Keep the date short and do not even think of sleeping with him until he is clearly nuts about you. The way he treats your family is very important. If he is cold, indifferent, or not eager to spend time with them, run! FULL ARTICLE @ WASHINGTON POST
