Useful Online Dating Advice

By Jackie Green

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.

Unless you're extraordinarily good looking, there's a good chance that you'll get contacted by nowhere near as many people as you're capable of if you keep things generic. You absolutely must do everything you can to make your profile interesting.

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.

Pay just as much attention to your picture selection too. Don't simply include a portrait or two and a Halloween picture. It seems like everyone does this, and the more of a variety of pictures you're able to present, the more interesting you'll come across as.

You want to come across as someone who does many different things. In doing so, your potential dates will associate you with an exciting lifestyle that they want to be a part of.

Make your profile description sound personalized too. You want your readers to feel as if you're writing specifically for them, as if your presence online was created for them. You'll be much more likely to be contacted this way.

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. - 30535
