Hi, I'm Marilyn Anderson, I'm the author of the dating book "Never Kiss a Frog." I'm here today on behalf of expertvillage.com to talk about how to do effective internet dating. Now there are some people who may want to do internet dating but who don't want to put a photo up. What do they do? Well it's true. If you don't put a photo up, you're definitely going to get less people contacting you. But hey, it's inevitable. Some people are not comfortable putting a photo up or because of their professions they might not want to. Maybe if you're a therapist, you don't want your patients to see that you're out there dating. Or maybe if you have an ex, you don't want your ex boyfriend or your ex wife, to see that you're up on the site. So, you have a screen name and you have your information but you don't put your photo up, it's okay. However, you should be prepared to have a nice photo that when you contact someone, you can say hey I have a photo available if you want it. Or if they contact you, you're able to email a photo to them. Most people are not going to want to meet somebody who won't put a photo up. But it's okay some other time, have one ready to send if you will.
