Are you a webcam model wanting to start dating? Maybe it’s a while since you’ve dated, or perhaps you’re worried about discussing what you do further down the line? Here, OTR share our top tips for navigating the dating scene when working in the adult industry.
Be Authentically You
In the dating game, it’s important to be your authentic self. Of course, you want to put your best foot forward, but always be true to yourself and your values. People will always have their opinions about you, from how you present yourself to what you do, but so long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter what people think! Remember, never dull your sparkle to appease someone else.
The Social Butterfly
As a webcam model, you definitely have an advantage when it comes to socialising with new people! As natural communicator, you’re equipped to deal with any social interaction, so have faith and confidence in yourself. From speaking to a wide range of people on a daily basis, you’ll know how to adapt the conversation to suit yourself or accommodate others. You’ll also be a great listener and know the right questions to ask to determine who is right for you. Trust us, these are skills that many won’t have, so be sure to use them to your advantage.
Set Your Standards
Know your worth. In life, it’s important to never settle for second best. Afterall, that’s why you joined the cam industry, right? The right person will enhance your life and bring things to it that you currently don’t have. It’s never worth putting up with someone who makes life harder or who doesn’t bring anything to the table. Being single is never a bad thing, it allows you time to truly get to know yourself and you’ll quickly discover the qualities that you would like in a compatible partner. When you start dating, remember the qualities you’re looking for and why – never settle for any less than you deserve.
Honesty Is the Best Policy
In our opinion, honesty is the best policy. You certainly don’t want to be moving things along with someone who doesn’t know about your career. Hiding the truth could end up being detrimental to the future relationship. Even if your intentions were good, concealing your career could potentially make you look like the bad person in the long run and you don’t want to base your relationship on deceit that early on.
People feel differently about camming and the adult industry. We’d say it’s better to know your dates opinion sooner rather than later. So, be open and honest and as soon as you feel comfortable and let them know about your career as a webcam model. You can gradually reveal more information as time goes on and should things progress. For now though, covering the basics will tell you very quickly if this person is worth your time!
