How do I go about dating online?
Q I’ve been on my own for a while, since my divorce, and I think I’m finally ready to date again. I’ve been told by friends that I should try internet dating but it feels a bit scary. How do you start this process after so many years?

You’re not alone – it’s a scary process for anyone, but it can be fun once you get going. You need to) is a good one – it enables the woman to be in control, as she makes the first move. Before you start, be clear what it is you want from a partner. This can help you in writing your profile. Take the process slowly, first by contacting through the site and then through phone or video. Then, when you’re ready, you can meet. Think of a public place where you would enjoy meeting. It could be for a coffee or drink, or an activity such as the cinema or a concert. Keep in mind what you’re looking for and only have a second date if you feel you can be yourself.
