Recently, a reader wrote to ask questions about re-contacting women at some point after the first email. He also talked a bit about my personal success compared to his and I wanted to address both of these areas in this article.
Here’s part of his email to me:

A reader who was diligent about taking my advice recently wrote me. While he offered many compliments (which I’m happy to share!) he also pointed out some gaps in my dating guide in regards to having early success:
I stumbled on your site a couple months ago after considering getting serious about online dating after using okcupid in an extremely passive way for about 6 months. I was looking for advice that didn’t entail sleeping around. I too am an [...]

I was reviewing some of my old articles from when I first started this site back in 2007 and decided to bring up some of the “forgotten” articles.
In this case I wanted to talk about a belief that many people hold true that can hurt their online dating experience: limiting themselves to dating a single person at a time.

Generally when I receive email regarding my online dating guide I don’t post anything about that here. However, I’ve decided to make an exception for one of the emails I recently received a month or two ago. This is because in this case the person who read my guide is taking the exact steps I hope all my readers would. Here’s the email:

Lately I’ve been thinking about my online dating guide, particularly how it continues to grow and how all the information might be overwhelming to someone new to online dating.
With that in mind, I’ve put together the following checklist that provides dating suggestions at a very high level based on the advice I provide in my dating guide. Where my guide goes into great detail into each area, this list keeps things simple for quick review.

Why do men ignore what a woman lists as her requirements for the men in her online dating profile? The woman doesn’t even need to have an unreasonable list of things she’s looking for. It might be one thing if she made it impossible for any man to contact her. But that’s happening. Simple things such as required religion or height or age are often ignored entirely by some of the contacting men.
You say you’re looking for a 20-something college [...]

I’ve looked at my fair share of online dating profiles and I wanted to talk about one of the bad habits I see in many profiles: the plea for contact. There are many examples of this; some good examples but honestly most of the time when I see someone trying to encourage communication it isn’t done in a good way. Here are some of the more common ways people will attempt this:
If you decide to contact me, I’m very flattered.

1. Easy Answers
In many cases there is no easy answer. The people who are selling easy answers often believe the answers are easy…even though they’re not. Their personal experience of having an easy time with a problem gives them a very wrong impression of how [...]

One of the most important things to be concerned with on any first date is ensuring things start off the right way. Several studies have suggested that the first moments of interacting with someone are the most important. Most people who have been dating online for a substantial amount of time don’t need a study to tell us this: plenty of us have known within the first few minutes that a first date was going to be the last.
Making sure [...]

Another year is about to begin and it’s time for people to begin making New Year’s resolutions. There are plenty of popular choices like losing weight, quitting smoking, or even trying to read more books. I would like to recommend to singles out there to see finding that special someone as your resolution this year.
Many people don’t see dating as something they would need a resolution to do. I think this is often a mistake. As veterans of online dating [...]
