10 Essential Online Dating Tips


If you think online dating is quick and dirty, then you must not be getting too many responses to your profile from singles. Here are 10 things that you might be doing wrong or not doing at all.

1. Do not make simple and stupid spelling errors. Your profile is read by thousands of singles and the last thing you want to do is waste their time trying to figure out what the hell you are writing about.
2. Avoid getting too personal too fast. Instead of asking about more than they wrote in their public profile, try to work with what you’ve got. Even if all the wrote was “I’m just here to look” - you can respond with “What exactly are you looking for? DUH!
3. Compliments go a long way. And I don’t mean “nice b00bies” or “nice body” type of comments. What happened to good old fashion “I like the way you do your hair” or “That’s a nice picture of you and your family” comments?
4. Looks can be deceiving. Take this how you will. Unless you plan to date someone based on looks and not looking for serious relationships then you’d be better off in a strip bar or lurking in a club.
5. Avoid heated topics. You will know when it comes up. Try not to talk politics or other socially taboo issues at first. No brainer huh? There is a time and place for these issues when you are both ready.
6. Don’t push anyone. If the other person is not interested in conversing, no matter how sexy or hot they are, give it up! There are more fishes in the ocean. Sending someone continuous emails will only get your reported and face possible suspension of your account. We don’t want that to happen!
7. Real date after warming up. The ultimate goal of online dating is to eventually go on real dates. Don’t jump the gun too fast. But if your gut tells you that the time is right, then you will both feel it and be comfortable enough to arrange to meet, in a crowded public location at first of course. One can never be too careful.
8. Living a lie. It is so tempting and easy to pretend to be wealthy, own a mansion in Italy, run a shipyard business in China or a millionaire in your profile. Don’t! This might get some singles interested in your profile, but not you. What if you found out that you really like this person? Now the truth is really going to hurt. “Sorry, but I’ve been lying on my profile. I’m really just a college student living in my parent’s basement.” That will go over real nice. You’ve not only lied, but wasted the other person’s time and energy. Not the way to go.
9. Lost for words. This usually is a clear indication that you are incompatible with the other person. If both of you connected, words will flow naturally. You know you best. I think this is true, or am I the only one who thinks this way? :)
10. Take advantage of member features. Use every feature available to you to the limit. Have you added more details to your profile? Can you introduce yourself through a short video clip? Do you have at least one face shot photo in your profile? These things will increase your chances of creating meaningful friendships and 10 times more appealing. After all, aren’t all great relationships based on open and honest communications?

So there you have it.
