Online Dating Strategies

By Maureen Hope

I've been pretty active in the world of dating online for a long time. I find it to be a nice way to get dates, and I've really met some great people this way. At the moment, my success with online dating is higher than it's ever been, due to a number of different factors I've taken into consideration.

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.

Don't be the typical person who says that they work hard and play hard, or that you like a night out but equally value a night spent inside with a good book or movie. Everyone says these things, and you'll seem boring to those who read your profile.

When it comes to pictures, show as many of them as you can. More is better, but don't be overwhelming either. Limit it to somewhere between five and eight, and make the pictures cover a range of activities.

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.

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 things that take just a few minutes of extra work and thought. The rewards are very well worth the time spent, as I have no doubt that you'll find if you do these things.
