DATING & MATING
Many of the Web sites aimed at people wanting to meet people present a
collection of "personal ads or profiles". They are very similar to those
you might find in the "Personals" sections of a newspaper's classified
section. There is no screening and no cross-matching. You'll find that
you get mixed results from these ads. We'll have some suggestions for
them later.
True online dating services make an attempt to match people up with
those who at least have something in common. True matchmaking services
actually match for compatibility. Many dating and matchmaking services
do not do that.
You'll probably have more success with a full featured service.
Any reputable site will be happy to prove the value of their service.
Browse the ads, place your own ad, search for the type of person that
you want in your life. When you have found a variety of members that you
are interested in meeting, join the club.
Don't limit yourself to one service. Shop around. Eventually you'll have
to pay for a singles service, sure, but don't make your decision based
on price. Wait until you find a service where you find members with whom
you'd like to trade messages. Then…GO FOR IT!
Sign up for an free, online email account (Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Gmail,
etc.) that you will use only for corresponding with those you meet
through your online dating services. Name it something easy to remember,
but nothing kinky or suggestive.
Opinions vary on this, but in the beginning you may want to write your
profiles and personal ads without a photo of yourself. Many services
give listings that include a photo better position, so you can submit a
picture of a pet, your car or something that is connected with you. That
gives readers a glimpse of your interests and personality, while you
maintain your privacy. After you become acquainted with someone you can
share your photo. Some services only accept photos (mug shots) of
members, so check the rules.
As you will see when you begin browsing through listings you will
quickly pass by most of those that don't have a photo. Other members
certainly do the same. You must choose whether to use a picture of
yourself rather than a photo of something that is special to you, but
you must use a photo of some sort to be successful.
Remember we said millions of people around the world use online dating.
Don't exclude a person just because they don't live "down the block"
Long distance relationships can be fun if they are treated
realistically.
Be honest, tell the truth. Expect the same. Lies, half truths and
exaggerations only lead to failure and disappointment. Sure there are
some jerks using online dating memberships. Let them mess up their own
lives. You take the high road. That's the road that can lead to a
lasting relationship.
Remember, a face to face meeting can be very embarrassing if you have to
make up a string of stories to cover up lies.
Time is a factor, but in the beginning of your online dating adventures
you will want to contact a number of people who appear interesting. For
various reasons many will not reply, so to keep it interesting let 8
to10 people know you are interested in communicating.
Always carefully compose your message. Keep it simple and to the point.
This is just a first contact or reply. You want to write something that
you can build on over time.
Don't send several e-mails before you get a reply, it will make you seem
desperate and unpleasant. Wait for the person to answer while continuing
replying to other ads. Do not send a second e-mail until you receive a
reply to the first.
Some people do not delete their ads or profiles once they no longer have
a need to use the service, so you may be attempting to contact someone
who is long gone!
Don't be discouraged if your profile or ad doesn't produce instant
response. It often takes a while to connect with the right people.
Occasionally do rewrites and post different photos. Stick with it. You
only need one special person out of all those millions. Give that person
time to find you!
> Getting married is very much like going to a
restaurant with friends. You order what you want, then when you see what
the other person has, you wish you had ordered that.
A SUCCESSFUL PERSONAL AD/PROFILE
Yes, there are a million fish in the sea, but you really only want to
catch that one prize winner! To make that catch you must do a whole lot
of fishing. Online dating and matchmaking lets you fish in many ponds.
Oh the poor male. Statistics show that there are one hundred male
personal listings to every female ad. Big guy, you have to write a
killer ad or profile to catch that lady's attention. It seems that women
tend to reply to profiles that they find amusing or romantic. That's
important to remember when writing your ad/profile… or creating a reply!
You just have to come up with something better than, "Hi, you seem like
a nice person I would like to know. Please reply."
BORING! You are going to have a very lonely life if you won't spend the
time to come up with something a lot better than that. But not to worry…
help is on the way.
When you have an understanding of the game upload as many photos as
possible, or get a "blog" Web site and display them there. Blogs are web
logs that are updated regularly, usually on a daily basis. They contain
information related to a specific topic, in this case - you! In some
cases blogs are used as daily diaries about people's personal lives,
political views, or even as social commentaries. To learn of an easy way
to build a blog click.
Photos do make a difference. Post lots of picture where you are doing
something - laughing, playing tennis, swimming, reading, talking with
friends etc. You will get MORE response's to your listing. Hey, you
don't have to look like a TV star. Somebody likes everybody. Just post
happy, nicely posed, flattering , fun photos.

your wedding ring on the wrong finger?' The other replied, 'Yes, I am, I
married the wrong man.'
