Online Dating Tips

Online dating can become frustrating if you stay for months after sign up without getting any positive responses or dates. I know people who register and do not get any positive replies to any of their emails not to talk of meeting anyone face-to-face for months upon months. This may cause you to start asking yourself questions like; why am I not getting any dates?; is my profile not good enough for anyone out there?; will I ever get a date? etc.

Well, the common mistake many people make while choosing online dating websites is thinking that only the paid sites produce good and fast results. I know that the paid sites are good and people have success with them but the problem is that many users of these sites leave their account to become inactive. I would say search out and join free online dating services because they are modeled like social networking sites and even if you do not log in for a while, your account still remains active; but if using the paid sites, you can check how recent a user has been active just to make sure you do not mail an inactive user. You lose nothing and have everything to gain by setting up your profile on these free sites. I heard that okcupid.com is quite a good dating site and it is totally free; it has fun matchmaking and free dating tests you could take as well.

So my first tip if you want to find your soul mate online, is not to overlook free dating websites; put your profile in as many as you want. Do not just put your profile on the dating site and expect the site to do all the work for you. Be proactive and email those you find interesting and please do not make the email a glorified advert, just keep it simple e.g you can ask a question on something you find interesting on their profile. Not all your emails will get a response and you may not always have luck with the ones that respond but you will get lucky when it counts.

Remember to always be safe and make your first date in a public place, always let someone know where you are going. I wish you all the best and hope this information helps if you want to find friendship or relationship using online dating.
