Online Dating Tips


Welcome to the world of online dating, if you have not been a part of an online dating community before or you have not had much luck, then this is for you. Here are a few pointers and rules you should follow when it comes to online dating.

• Your Profile:

Your profile is very important, this is where people start to read what kind of person you really are, the more information you give them, the better they will be able to decide if you are compatible and if they would like to get to know you better. Fill in as much as possible even if you think that it is irrelevant, things like work, children, sexual fantasies are all very important as it adds character building block, example: Work, what kind of job you do may affect your future partner, for example:

• You are a Doctor! This is great, but you are on call 24 hours a day, your shifts are long and when you do come home you are so tired that the last thing you want to do is talk to someone or have sex.

Do you see how this can change your profile. Some may think dating a Doctor is great, you are not at home all the time to get under their feet, and you have lots of money. Each person will think differently about the pro’s and con’s of your job.

• Your Photo:

Your photo is one of the most important features of your profile, there are many reasons for this.
1) When members are looking for a partner, most will look at the members with photo first.
2) Depending on what you look like and if it is a good photo, will also make a difference when it comes to someone contacting you.
3) And the most important, a picture says a thousand words about you, depending on the kind of photo you upload will depend on your first impression. For example if you load up a bad photo and the picture quality is grainy,

This can come off in two ways,
1) You don’t think much of yourself and you have no confidence or,
2) You are not really that interested in online dating. Ether way this is not good for you.

The kind of photo you up load will also change the mindset of the person looking at it, Example if you load up a photo that is nude or very sexually explicit, then that’s what you will get in return, only members of the same caliber will usually contact you IE: a nude photo, says I’m looking for kinky sex only, so that’s what you will get, if that’s what you are looking for them you have done it right.

• The Chatroom:

The Chatroom is a great way to meet people and socialize, here you will find all kinds of people to chat to and share your experiences, once you have found someone in the chatroom, you can always ether chat privately or us a webcam to see and hear the person.
1) Another bonus about meeting people this way is, you can find out if you click where as with E-mails it takes a long time to hear what that person things about something.
2) The other reason why chatrooms are better than E-mail is safety, you do not know the person you are chatting to, so giving out your E-mail address before getting to know them is always a really bad idea, chat with them for a while or if you can us a webcam and mic, and really get to know the person first, then give them you E-mail once you feel that you know the person well enough.

• Meeting for the first time:

This is where it becomes fun! But also keep in mind that you still don’t really know this person, my suggestion, meet in a busy public place restaurants and coffee shops are always a good place, the reason for this is.
1) You are safe and there is a waiter that comes to your table and serves you, if anything should go wrong, he or she can help you and will remember serving you, were as if you meet in a bar you are just another face in the crowd.
2) Also don’t forget to let a friend or family member know where you are at all times, even if you just send a text message telling them, where you are who you are with and if you leave the venue where you are going.

• Getting dressed up: This is for Men and women! Dressing up to meet someone is very important, remember you are meeting someone for the first time and first impressions will be made again on this date. Shower, this date may lead to more, dress nicely, even get a friend to help you out, do your hair, shave or wax, brush your teeth and smell good. If you don’t, this maybe the last time you see this person.

I hope that this will help you, remember one thing, you are using an online dating site for a reason, to find people like you. Always do your best at showing your good side and don’t forget to tell people what you want, this will save you and other members a lot of wasted time.
