Ideas for Online Dating

By Maureen Hope

My online dating career has been an on and off one, depending upon where I'm at with my relationships. However, I've always found it to be a trusty source of dates that I return to whenever I've needed to. I've found more success over the years, thanks to some strategies that I never kept in mind to begin with.

First of all, it's critical that your profile stands out from the rest of them. Too many people simply blend in, and doing that gets them nowhere. You'll want to seem different from the rest, as different is great when it comes to this stuff.

Do everything that you can to avoid the dreaded ordinary profile. This is a bad idea, as you'll blend right in and many may simply pass you right by. Be yourself, and inject some personality into it.

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.

Additionally, you need to make your pictures just as interesting. Use pictures of yourself in a variety of interesting settings.

Doing this will show that you're active and adventurous, and your prospective dates will begin to picture themselves in these interesting situations with you. As long as you look like you're having fun, you'll win major points as far as getting their attention goes.

Striking a chord with your readers is equally critical. If you were writing an article for a newspaper or a magazine, you'd want to do the same thing. Why should this be any different? Relate to your readers and it'll pay off.

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. - 31521
