Or how to successfully meet women online for fun and pleasure...

Hello one and all,

This is the first of a series articles I intend writing to share my experiences with the online dating game. Not really a diary (even though that's the title), rather more a series of recollections, stories and tips designed to help other guys (and girls although it's written from a man's perspective I'm sure a lot of the tips apply to both sexes) meet women online and then to successfully take that to a real life sexual relationship. What happens after than is entirely up to you.

First a bit about me. I am a British guy in his mid 40s. I am married and like many men of my age the marriage is ok but frankly a little bit boring both outside but especially inside the bedroom. And it is always in the bedroom which of course is all part of the problem. I was by nature a pretty loyal guy and apart from the very occasional drunk liaison at the occasion business conference I had remained completely faithful to my wife. About 6 years ago my frustration levels had reach rock bottom when one day there was a TV advert for an online dating site. Now as an official internet nerd and user going way back to the 80s this seemed like an interesting idea to me. I put up an advert and the rest is history. My sex life has never been better and I go through life with a huge smile on my face. I recently got into Blogging in my "real" life and this sparked the idea of sharing some of my experiences with other people about my secret life. I've made mistakes and learned some very useful lessons and I hope they come in handy for others.

Over the next few weeks some of the topics I hope to cover (in no particular order):
Writing your profile
How to get the women you are interested in interested in you
Keeping things secret at home
How to spot the "fakes" and potenial bunny boilers
Going from "online" to "real life"
First dates
Keeping it going both on and offline
Exit strategies

Anyway enough introductions. First real post coming soon.
