Online
Dating Tips STAND
OUT AMONG THE CROWD.
Many
people who have dated offline through being setup, meeting
people through work or in other social gatherhings such as
bars know that there is a certain caution or etiquette to your
first encounter. The same applies to Online Dating. Here are
some quick tips for success
1. The advantage of using an online dating site vs. an actual blind meeting
of a new person is anonymity. Use this to your advantage. Browse many profiles
and read carefully to see if the person matches what you are looking for
before contacting them. Online dating is a great way to screen out people
who you do not see as a good possible dating partner or future spouse.
2. Once you have contacted someone - start off with anonymous email through
our site. Our site does not reveal your identity in anyway so they do not
know your real name or email address etc. We suggest going back and forth
at least 10 times to see if there is a real connection and curiousity there.
We do not suggest giving out your contact infomratoin too quickly. Use
our email system as a way to guage interest.
3. Once you have established some trust and decide to communicate other
ways such as your personal email or by telephone - its good to get a good
feel for that person through those mediums as those are very safe as well.
You can tell a lot about a person from several phone conversations.
4. If the phone conversations are working and there is a genuine interest
to meet-up. Do that in a very public place like at a coffee shop, restaurant,
movie thearter or a public square. it is not necessary for the person to
pick
you up from your house - meeting in a mutual place on the first date is
very accepted in the online dating community.
Here are some additional tips for having success on our site as far as
starting up a conversation with someone in the site.
Do
you want to give yourself the best possible chance to get noticed
out of the thousands of profiles on this site? Here are
some good suggestions to follow:
DO: Post a picture that is recent and the more pictures the better so the person has a good idea of what you look like and will not be surprised when they meet you.
DO: Spell-Check and Grammar-Check your profile. This is everyone's first impression of you!
DO: Smile in your pictures.
DO: If there are more people in your photo then just you - add a caption so they know which one is you.
DO: Take a risk. Make something happen. Contact another member through email, chat or by sending a smile. What do you have to lose?
DO: Be yourself. If a person is ultimately going to love you for genuine reasons, they should see the real you. Show that to them.
DO: Upgrade your membership so that you can email other members to start up an interaction.
DO NOT: Be brief in your profile essays or emails to other members.
DO NOT: Give Up. There is someone out there for everyone. A website like this dramatically increases your chances vs. the limited circle of people you know. Remember - patience is a virtue!
