Useful Tips for Online Dating

By Maureen Hope

I've been pretty active in the world of dating online for a long time. I find it to be a nice way to get dates, and I've really met some great people this way. At the moment, my success with online dating is higher than it's ever been, due to a number of different factors I've taken into consideration.

You must pay attention to your profile and put some thought into it. I'm sure you've noticed that every member of the opposite gender generally has a profile that looks similar to the rest, and you're refreshingly satisfied when you see one that looks different. There's a good chance that you blend right in with the rest of the pack too.

Make your profile interesting and funny, or anyone looking at your profile will likely pass you by. If you include some witty humor and a call to action, you'll be amazed at the difference that a few small tweaks will make.

Stay away from the cliche phrases that you see in so many profiles that you read, and do something different. If yours looks like the rest, someone may read about you for a few seconds before moving on, as they'll see you as a dime a dozen when it comes down to it.

Pay just as much attention to your picture selection too. Don't simply include a portrait or two and a Halloween picture. It seems like everyone does this, and the more of a variety of pictures you're able to present, the more interesting you'll come across as.

People will definitely be more interested in you if they see you in different situations. Everyone wants someone who adds a little adventure to their life, and the right selection of pictures can definitely communicate such a message.

Make your profile description sound personalized too. You want your readers to feel as if you're writing specifically for them, as if your presence online was created for them. You'll be much more likely to be contacted this way.

These are all simple tips, but they're pieces of advice that way too many people overlook. The good news is that they can all be fixed within a matter of minutes. - 32510
