You’ve taken the giant step of joining an Online Dating Website to pursue your dream of finding your Chinese or Asian soulmate. You’ve spent a lot of time and effort meeting, messaging and chatting with all number of potential mates, good and bad, and now you’ve found her. You’re sure she’s the one, and she feels the same way about you. Now what do you do?

1. It’s time to get together, but where?

Unless your gal has already travelled to a major first world country, and especially if you are from such a country, you can almost bet that you are going to have to come to China for that first meeting. If you’re from the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK and even the EU, you are going to have a very difficult time arranging a visitors visa in order for her to come to see you. But for several reasons, even if you could have her come to see you, I highly recommend that you go to China for that all important first meeting.

Whether you go to China or she comes to you, you are likely going to have to pay the lion’s share of the costs, because she likely doesn’t have the resources you have, even if you’re just an average Joe. Very few Chinese women have “travel the world” kind of money.

So, if you have to pay anyway, then come and see China, soak in the culture, meet her whole family, see if this is a place you really wish to be your home away from home, because that is what it is going to be if things work out between you. And if she isn’t the one, you’ll now at least know if you really do wish to pursue a Chinese woman for your lifemate.

On the other hand, if she’s everything you hoped for, you love her family and you enjoy China, then you’re on your way to comfortably becoming a 2 country man.

2. Now you’ve decided you’re headed for China, how do you get there?

Getting to China from anywhere in the 1st world is not difficult, and usually surprisingly inexpensive if you plan ahead and look for bargains. Any good travel agent can organize your trip for you, or you can easily do it yourself online if you enjoy that kind of exercise. China is a popular travel destination these days, and it isn’t difficult.

One Note of Warning: get your visa through your local Chinese consulate if at all possible and plan it well in advance. You can simply google “Chinese Embassies” and easily follow the path to the right consulate for you, where the rules of obtaining a visa should be all laid out. But right now travel to China is a little more difficult because of the Olympics. You can get visa, and you can get here, but not as easily as usual, and probably not as cheaply. Plus, once you arrive this summer everything is likely going to be overcrowded, disorderly and twice the normal cost, so if you can wait we highly recommend that you plan to travel in October or later.

3. You’ve come, you’ve seen, and you’ve conquered.

She’s perfect, China’s great and the family and you hit it off beautifully. So now, hand in hand, you’re gong to return home and see how she likes it there – NOT! You will eventually get her a visa to visit your home country, but you will not get it quickly and not easily. And do not make the mistake of thinking that if you marry her it will be easier, because it won’t be.

Getting that visa calls for a long article in itself, and we will provide one in the near future, but for now suffice it to say that getting her home, especially if you are from the USA, Canada or Australia, is an exercise in frustration. The only good thing I will say here is that once you get her home, and you experience the joy of seeing your own country through her eyes, it will all be well worth the effort.

4. Okay, I can’t get her home quickly, now what?

If you’re made of money, or comfortably retired, you can move to China and wait it out. You can pick up a condo here for less than back home, you can live here for less than back home, and you can explore here for less than back home. You and your new love can see lots of China, get to really know each other, and work on that visa that will take about 6 to 18 months before she can accompany you back home.

At present most countries have what is called a “Fiance Visa” and that usually is the most sensible one and easiest one to obtain. The point of the fiance visa is that you intend to go back home and test the waters, and if all goes well you will marry and she will convert to full landed immigrant status.

If, like most people, you are a normally employed guy, you will have to head home and work on it from there. Settle in for a “long distance relationship” that involves a lot of phone calls (book SKYPE for both of you, it’s a real blessing), a lot of email, and a lot of missing each other.

Many people can’t cut a long distance relationship, but personally I highly recommend them. There is something to getting together after all that yearning that adds to the sweetness of it. On the other hand, maybe that is something akin to hitting yourself over the head with a hammer because it feels so good to quit. It takes a certain kind.

It is innate in every person to find or hun for a partner in life. Some may find it difficult that they eventually end up or forced to joining some sort of singles club. The dilemma finally ended at the advent of the Internet. The modern technology has given ways to connect with people right at their fingertips and within the comforts of their own home in any part of the globe.

Amazingly, single people are slowly becoming less and less in number and now driven to extinction. Gone are the days of being alone. Thanks to modern technology. Through the Internet, everyone has now the chance to find the right person to connect to and find the love of their life through numerous dating sites.

These online dating sites only require the person to set up an account, create his or her own profile and pay the membership fees. Then the person can now freely surf and find the potential partner he or she thinks is compatible with his or her type.

The profile page is the whole you, which speaks for you, the very first impression of you. A person who hopes to find a partner online has to be very particular about his or her profile. Compared to real-life chances of finding someone, online dating has much more to offer. Here are some tips:

Sense of humor – It is very important to be witty and creative in your profile to attract attention more. The risks and the pressure are greatly reduced.

Avoid something cheesy – Emphasize the positive things about yourself in your profile. Being cheesy and negative will turn people off. No one would hang out with a person who smothers somebody else day.

Use of adjectives – Personal adjectives will sometimes either glorify or degrade you, so think of a better way to describe yourself. You may write something you like doing and briefly describe what it is or what they are.

Describing the person you are looking for – Avoid stating the person you want. Instead describe the person you are. Dont have a list of what a potential partner must have, but those that they should not have. No red flags.

Avoid being sexual – If you are trying to be sexual, then online dating site is not for you. You are in the wrong site.

The most important thing in creating a profile is providing a good balance of information. A dating site is not just a site that you can force yourself to like what you dont want. You choose how casual or involved you get with the people you are meeting. Be patient and open minded. Your personality needs to be come through loud and clear. If your profile stands out, it would be easy to sell yourself and get high responses from other users. Give it a whirl! You only have your inhibitions to lose.

There are a few best practices in online dating once you make the first click with someone new. While only you can say how the pace will go and work between you and the person you make the contact with, these practices will help you make things in between progress smoothly.

Oftentimes, the initial contact is either receiving a new email message in your inbox or you send a message to someone. Regardless of how it happens, it would be best that first messages are short, and not the whole story of your life. Less is always more, but do not be too brief, either, to make the other person wonder if you are somebody worthwhile to be chat with. The thing is to make you a little mysterious and intriguing and hopefully lure them. Dumb one-liners or joky barroom chat up lines are a no-no.

Actually, it is not just through email messages that you can make the first contact with a potential partner. There are also sites that have an instant messenger service for its members. It is either a message pops up from someone introducing himself or herself, or you may send a message to another if they are online.

Usually, most good and wholesome dating sites have chat rooms available for groups to initialize discussions on various topics. Just like another forum site for you to meet everyone online. Other sites may even have some sort of flirtation devices such as a smile, a wink or a wave. These are signals you need acknowledge or drop a line.

However, it is imperative that you read the persons profile first and be cautious before sending any message to anybody. If you feel that you do not fit the profile of the person he or she is looking for, then don’t spend time trying to contact him or her. He or she may not be interested in you, plain, pure and simple.

Keep in mind that it would be very disappointing for someone you make contact with, especially if that someone becomes fond of you, when you found out later on that you are not really interested in him or her. This should not happen after all if you exercise a little tactfulness.

So you are now set for the date and you start clicking. The rule is to show the quality of being prudent and sensible. Be positive and bank on your personal strengths and eagerness. It is also advisable to share a little something personal about yourself and to demonstrate a little sense of humor. This will both ease you up and feel relaxed during your chat exchanges.

In case you dont get replies to your emails sooner than you think, do not lose hope or think it will end weakly. You will never run out of good dating sites to switch to. Online dating is full of surprises; and when it does, you will say to yourself this site did a good job! And before you know it, you may even want to meet and go on a real date outside of the chat room.

I’ve asked some people in my mailing list on subject of marriage compatibility, inquiring about their marriage compatibility troubles and questions in mind. I have had a lot of replies to that email, so I decided to answer the 3 of the questions that I found common in this article. Here you go.

1) How to discover whether my spouse really loves me?

Good question. I’ll try to be very tactful here. Let’s put it that way – if you indeed loves a guy or a girl how would you demonstrate that? How would you make it clearly seen for your spouse to feel that you really feel all warm and loving about him or her?

In principal – you try to show your affection toward the guy or girl, right? You show attention in what that person tells you, maybe even admire the person for something and certainly care in whatever happens to that person. Your eyes glisten when looking at the other person. You seem very keen to be in his or her company with the guy or girl.

Do you feel that kind of loving from your partner? Is he or she interested in you? Show sympathy? I want you to see if it is so.

2) How to build up the feelings between us?

Real liking basically depends on really agreeing even admire the way the other person looks and what he or she tells you. So, you can do your best to look good for your partner and ALSO make some effort to be more fascinating for your partner. You can try to remember what your partner likes in the way you look and enhance it. And, on the contrary, you can remove the things that your loved one would not like to see in you.

I am not telling about becoming obsessed on being exactly what other people suggest that you should be, because there lays unhappiness and hard time getting other people to like you. No, I’m talking about spending your guys’ time together as pleasantly and enjoyable to both of you as possible.

And I certainly suggest you give compliments to things you like about your partner. And, on the contrary, suggest some small betterment, but very gently and never demanding. As in: “You know, that tie would look so nice on you, why wouldn’t you try it on you?”

I talk more in my free marriage compatibility report to understand more about being interesting to your partner.

3) The hardest thing about maintaining a romance alive is not to get angry on your spouse.

I certainly agree with that. Judging by the experience I gained, a person can react to things, which kind of look to him like some bad things that happened to him in the past. And those reactions can happen without him or her really being in control of it.

One good thing about it – the more we take some rest and the better our mood is, the less is the possibility that such reactions can happen to us. So my advice is – rest more and do your best to keep your mind in good shape. I’ll give some good advice on this in my future articles.

One of the biggest reasons most men don’t approach women is because of their fear of rejection. We all want people to like us and we want their approval. This probably holds true even more when that someone is a woman we are attracted to.

So what can you do to overcome that fear of rejection?

I’m going to give you three basic tips that will get you going in the right direction.

Tip #1: Make Your First Attempt A Small One

Allot of men put too much pressure on themselves by getting too ambitious. They try to get too perfect with their first words or get to perfect with their first impression. When the woman they approach doesn’t respond well to those things it leaves them with a huge disappointment. That disappointment may cause them to never want to approach another woman ever again.

What you do instead is keep things small and simple. Don’t tell her she is beautiful and buy her flowers. What you can do is simply say “Hi”. If she ignores you it won’t mean as much because you have less invested. It also says allot about the type of woman she is.

Tip #2: She Only Rejects What She Knows About You

Let’s say you just met a woman and have had a nice 10 minute conversation with her. You like her and you think she might like you. So you have decided that before you go you would like to ask her out or get her number. You take a deep breath and fire away. What does she say? She says “No”.

Does a woman who has talked to you for 10 minutes really know you all that well? No she doesn’t. She can only reject you based on what she knows about you after a 10 minute conversation. She has hardly even got a taste of how amazing you are. Don’t take rejection from a woman that hardly knows you too serious.

Tip #3: Focus On The Moment

The more you think about yourself the more you fear rejection. Do I sound stupid? I must look like a fool? There is no way I could approach a woman or ask her out because I feel like an idiot.

All that negative chatter that grows through your mind needs to be replaced with enjoyment. Enjoy meeting new people, enjoy the rush of approaching a beautiful woman, and enjoy finding out what makes her so interesting. Don’t focus on your or the outcome. Just focus on what you can get out of that moment.

Conclusion

Most of the time when you are rejected it hardly has anything to do with you personally. The one way you can know if it is your fault is if every person responds to you in the same way. If that is the case it’s probably because you are doing something wrong. For now stick with the three tips I have given you. They should give you a nice boost.
