What is Online Dating?
Online Dating in Three Easy Pieces
Online dating can be a little scary at first. You are jumping
onto a website and sharing yourself with thousands and sometimes
millions of other people. You are putting yourself out there with
the risk of rejection in hopes of finding anything from a date
to a spouse. It can be a lot of pressure to put yourself under.
That’s why you need to break online dating down to it’s
three basic parts: The profile, the photo, and your strategy. Most
people fail because they don’t take the little bit of extra
effort that they need to make sure they have these three things.
If you have a great strategy, but your profile or photos are not
so good, you are probably just wasting your time because you are
not going to make a good first impression. But, even if you have
a great profile and photo, but have no real strategy, it’s
kind of like having bullets without a gun. Throwing bullets will
only get you so far. Here are some simple tips to help you out
in all three areas:
The Profile:
Focus on the positives!
Always try to talk about the things you want in the person you
are looking for. Don’t focus on the things that you don’t
want, talking about them just makes it sound like you have more
baggage than any normal person is going to want to deal with.
The Photo:
Keep
the focus on you!
A lot of people like to put photos that show them with friends
or at fancy functions like weddings. Don’t do it! You want
to be the only person in your photo. If you have friends
or family in the photo with you, you run the risk of people spending
their time trying to figure out if they are just a friend or your
ex. Even worse, they might be more attracted to your friend than
they are to you. Instead, keep the focus on you and let visual
props like a pet or a setting the shows off some of your character.
That way people can see you in a setting that makes you look your
best.
The Strategy:
Make
the first move!
Don’t wait for Mr. or Ms. Right to find you. Only you really
know what you want anyways, so get out there and start looking for
it. Take advantage of the search options on your for your dating
site so you can eliminate a lot of the people you aren’t interested
in. When you find someone you like, SEND THEM AN EMAIL! Do not wink
at them. Winking is for wusses!
