First a few important points about online dating:
Most sites check member's profiles when they are created and when any changes are made so there is no point in including any lewd or explicit content.
Sites also do not allow any personal information in your profile so please leave out you addresses, cell numbers etc. in this area.
Another point is that this section is aimed at selling yourself as a decent and caring individual, it is not an opportunity to promote your business or services so leave that out here.
It is a good idea to spend some time and create your profile in a word document so that you can perfect it before putting it up on the site.
Profiles go live immediately and are checked within 24 hours. This means that if your profile goes up and is not perfect, you could miss out on the love of your life, because you did not take care with your profile.
The number of replies you get from other members will depend on the quality and completeness of your profile.
Here are some useful tips that will help you get the best possible results:
•Create a catchy title for your profile! When members search listings on the site, the title of your profile is usually listed alongside your name. As a woman, a profile titles like "Hi my name is Ed!" does nothing for me, whereas I definitely stopped to have a closer look at titles such as "A Woman Is A Precious Thing" and "Knight In Shining Armour Seeks His Princess". Yes I know the second one is a little corny but it is still eye-catching.
•When you create a heading do remember to capitalize as I have done in the examples as your heading will stand out more. A catchy heading is great but will not do a thing without a photograph so do upload one!
•People like to see who they're writing to and, as a result, profiles that have photographs attached get up to 10 times more clicks than profiles that don't.
It is usually quite easy to submit photographs but if you are digitally challenged you can usually send your picture to the sites support team for them to upload. Sites usually accept digital photo's in JPG or GIF format. Please remember that honesty is hugely important when it comes to online dating so always use a recent photograph!
•Your profile should include your likes and dislikes, things you enjoy doing, what line of work you're in, what your personality is like, even your hopes and dreams. The better your profile describes you, the more likely it is that others will read and respond to it.
Some sites allow you to upload audio and video introductions! These are wonderful tools and if you use them carefully and creatively you will be on the way to success. Here you can tell people what you want them to know about yourself in your own words, and make them feel as if they have known you for ages!
Then sit back, relax, and watch your mailbox getting flooded with messages! Here's hoping that your prospective suitors have also read this article and that they knock your socks off with information that is attractive to you!
So now the mails are rolling in and you have some possible dates on offer. Don't rush into heading off for dinner with the first person that contacts you.
Although it can be tedious, you should try to get to know each other via email before you head out on a date. This is no guarantee that you are getting the 'genuine article' but it is still wise to take a bit of time and, even then, I suggest a coffee date just to size each other up a little more. If this date goes well you can come up with dating ideas that will be a more adventurous and exciting.
