10 best tips for online dating

Once you've snagged some interest and are communicating with the man of the minute, make sure you start off with light conversation. Don't start off with heavy details like: "My cat died exactly a year ago and I'm feeling so heartbroken this week" or "I've been told that our company is retrenching half the office". These are the worst conversation starters. Also avoid any talk of ex-boyfriends!

Rather start with say the movie you saw last week that you loved or a common interest you both share like hiking or surfing for example.
