If you're looking to jump into the world of online dating, here are 14 tips to help ensure you are nothing short of successful.
Don't be afraid to go for it
If you're shy in real life, don't drag it into the online dating world. Take your chances and talk to a person if you're really feeling them.
Pick a reputable site
Nowadays there are all sorts of dating websites and though it sounds silly, the better sites are those that charge a small fee as it tends to weed out fakes.
Make your profile interesting
All dating websites give you the chance to fill out a profile. You don't want a verbose profile but make sure it really explains who you are, your likes, and things that will make you stand out from the other people.
Be yourself
Though you may originally start talking to someone through the computer, you'll eventually meet in person, so it's best to be yourself from the get-go.
Use flattering pictures
Pictures are important in the online dating world, so be sure you use good photos and update them as much as possible.
Don't seem desperate
Some people like to think that online dating is only for those people who are desperate and are trying their last resort. Make sure you don't seem like a lost cause.
Avoid becoming a stalker
No matter how into someone you are, becoming an e-stalker is never cute. If you send a few messages and never get a reply, it's time to move on!
Stay positive
Just like with traditional dating, not everyone you meet will be the one for you. Keep your head up and know that your next partner may be in contact soon.
Be cautious
One of the wisest things to practice when dating online is caution. Do some research on the person before meeting up with him/her. Any red flags mean it's a no-go.
Check back often
You don't want to check your inbox every five minutes, but it's always a good idea to check back each day to continue with any conversations that you may be having.
Don't talk about your ex
The new person doesn't want to hear about your past relationships right away. Keep the past in the past, unless asked.
Avoid the scandalous pics
Pictures should show your overall beauty so ladies, avoid the half-naked pictures that show a bit too much. Guys like a bit of surprise and putting it all out there on the net is never ideal.
Don't rush things
As with any type of dating, it's best to take things slow. Get to know the person you're interested in before agreeing to a date.
