For the questions below.  Think about this in terms of what your experience has been.  What kinds of things immediately made you say YES.  What kinds of things immediately made you say NO WAY. Also think of this like you are giving your best friend of the opposite sex a crash course in what to do and not do.  How do you keep them from making a fool of themselves and how do you assure they get the girl or guy they want.

Question Title

Question Title

* 12. Internet dating in some ways levels the playing field from the traditional "guy approaches girl" model.

Ladies, have you ever initiated a conversation, not a wink but an actual message, with a guy? And if so, how did that go?

If you're a man, have you ever been on the receiving end of a first message? If so, how did that go for you?

For the following questions think of this like the courtship phase. They have got your attention and you have made a match. What now?  What are the big turns ons and turn offs.  The must dos and the never dos.  Remember that one time they did everything right until....  That is the kind of stuff we are after here. Especially things you have seen people repeat again and again that are especially endearing/good or especially horrifying/bad.

What are your thoughts on how people should approach it?  Another way to think about this question is the following:  If you were interested in learning about dating and human relationship psychology, what do you feel that book or program would need to teach you (what one thing do you feel you could benefit from knowing more about)?
