Ever sometimes feel you have a love/hate relationship with online dating? That you aren’t always enjoying the experience? Really? Anyone who is dating online should be having fun so come on, have a long lingering virtual hug then check our top tips to getting your dating mojo back on.
Be proactive: The first thing you should never do is sit around waiting, constantly pressing refresh to see if someone has got in touch. Either set up your profile and step away from the computer, or even better, get messaging other people. The more you interact with potential partners, the more likely you are to find success.
Be realistic: So you’ve been messaging someone new and they sound amazing? Try not to have huge expectations when you finally meet in person because they may not be your soul-mate. They might be, but leave the images of rings and wedding photos at home. Focus on getting to know them and the rest will follow.
Go to the events: Sick of just talking to people online? Come on, get yourself along to a singles event and get your hot self seen! At Lovestruck.com we hold regular laissez-faire events where our members can mingle with each other without name-tags or the cringe factor. Best of all – they are free and you can bring your single friends! Why not hop along to our new and exciting Special Brew event starting 7th March!
Be honest: Make sure you are honest in your profile, so the right people seek you out. End of.
Don’t take rejection personally: If someone says no to a date or doesn’t follow up with a second date request when you wanted them to, try not to take it to heart. We’re all different, they were simply not on the same page so were probably not right for you anyway. See it as a positive, it’ll free you up to talk to/meet the right person.
Join the right site: There are heaps of dating sites out there but joining the wrong one means that you are not giving yourself the best chance of meeting the right person. Do your research, how are they matching people for example, and sign up wisely! (Ahem, we hear Lovestruck is the number one choice for the finest singles in town…)
Fill out a fab profile: It should go without saying but you need to make sure your profile is as full as possible – because the more information you provide, the easier it is for the right people to find you. Make sure you include some great photos, and update it regularly for the best results. Check our tips on creating the Perfect Profile
