Dating Tip: Don’t Get Mad When He’s Been Online in the Last 24 Hours 2008-02-07 11:30:16 Imagine this. You met a cute guy online and had a great first date with him. The day after your date you go on to the single site where you met to read all the wonderful details about him once again. You’re not logged in, of course, but you discover that his profile has been active within the last 24 hours. You feel a little deflated. Maybe you feel like he didn’t like you as much as you like him. This is one of the difficult parts of online dating, but don’t fret. Just accept the fact that he is dating several people. Online dating opens you (and those that you are dating) up to many different people at one time. That’s the glory of it.  It’s not personal. If after the fourth, fifth, or sixth date it’s still bothering you, then you can bring it up with him. But until then, don’t look at his profile and just keep dating! ...
