The internet is plagued with tales of nasty messages and whack opening lines from men. For men, the responsibility to not be one of those guys can add a heightened intimidation factor. For women, maneuvering around creeps is often more work than it's worth. One aspect of online dating dynamics poses a challenge for both men and women, but from different angles: If it's a lady you're pursuing, chances are she's received more than a few unsolicited messages already. A lot of pressure comes with keeping up a conversation with someone you don't know anything about (other than the fact that they are hot) - if you even had the patience to swipe or scroll enough to find someone worth chatting with, that is.
So, it's a new year and you're ready to hop back into the online dating scene.
