Part III: 5 ways to make online dating less awkward
1. Keep emails short and conversation light before that first meeting, says Langburt. Remember you are dealing with a perfect stranger so les is more in the beginning.
2. Make the initial date short, like a coffee or a walk. If there is a spark, you can schedule a longer date. If not, you’re not stuck.
3. Be real and honest, says Hendricks.
4. Don’t tell the entire story of your life on the first date. “Don’t talk through that morning’s therapy session or reveal the details of your inheritance on the first date,” says Langburt. “Leave them wanting more.”
5. Don’t take rejection personally. “You simply cannot let a few unnoticed pokes or a series of bad first dates send you into a tailspin,” says Langburt. “Each date, good or bad, brings you one step closer to the person with whom you are meant to be.”

We live such a rushed and busy life, we hardly have time for ourselves let lone finding a genuine and lasting relationship.
After graduating from law school, I finally felt I was ready to find my soulmate. I joined mathc.com and I wrote a letter to God describing what I wanted in my spouse. I then meditated for about 2 months to get to know myself and what I wanted in my future as a careerwoman and future wife.
Literally 2 months after writing the letter my now husband contacted me through match.com.
Our first date lasted 8 hours and I know that he was my soulmate as soon as I saw him standing in the parking lot of the restaurant we went to for our first date! We've now been married for six months and together for almost 4 years!
