What is a Serial Dater?

A serial dater is someone who is constantly dating people, most likely two or more simultaneously, but has no intention of taking anyone seriously for a long term relationship.

Serial daters, using their dating website profiles as their passports into the cyber pick-up field, are able to increase their volume of temporary mates. This article will tell you how to spot them when you first meet online so that YOU can decide if you will be their next victim.

Non-discriminating, suggestive usernames

If you get a message from "Hot14u", it is safe to assume that their username loosely translates to "hot one for everyone". Watch out for names that advertise sexual specialties/adventures ie "LikeARabbit" or "RidingCowgirl" - This is a clear sign they are looking for instant gratification. You decide if you want to travel down the well beaten paths to their bedroom.

They communicate with you like you are already sleeping together

"Hey baby" straight off the bat comes from the keyboard of someone who does not know you long enough to be on "hey baby" terms. Maybe they are objectifying you, maybe they are just too casual and comfortable with their online dating speak, either way it doesn't deem the author a serious catch.

While not all serial daters would include sexual talk in the first conversation, if they do it is a dead giveaway. Steer clear from those who "can't wait to undress you" before you've reached the point where they might actually have a chance to.

They focus the conversation on your photos

The best part about serial dating, is serial mating. So, naturally, a serial dater will be focusing on the goods. If most of the conversation coming from their end is about your physical attributes and they keep asking for more photos....you won yourself the serial dater lottery.

They have been using the site for years

Ask the casual question.."So...how long have you been using this website?" If the answer is in years or if they refuse to give a direct response....they aren't single because the right mate didn't come across their screen!

Save time for the promising profiles

Use these tips to sift your way through the duds to get to the profiles worth while. You can use the time you saved to write genuine and personal messages to the people you are REALLY interested in.

I wish you luck in your online dating adventures!
