Dating tips: Online dating

So you’ve decided to join a quality dating site like Lovestruck.com – but do you know how to ‘behave’ while on the site.

Dating expert Hayley Quinn has some online dating tips for you.

The number one mistake guys make online is to treat online dating like a computer game.

So let’s get a few things straight:

1. Don’t steal a profile: The women of Lovestruck are smart cookies who can spot a profile that’s been swiped from the internet a mile off. So before you even think about googling templates of ‘perfect’ profiles how about writing something that’s personal to you? Perfect profiles will actually be too generic to get you noticed & remember it’s not your job to impress everyone, it’s your job to find the women you’re supposed to click with.

2. Don’t send out a generic ice breaker: that witty 2 liner that an Internet forum promised you would have all the women responding? Rubbish. Even worse if another guy has said that to her before. Instead read her profile (as well as checking out her photo) and write something that’s personal to her. Chances are your response rate will increase then too.

3. Don’t pretend to love everything: it’s proven that women will be most attracted to guys that have a combination of things they agree and disagree with. So when it comes to your profile never be afraid to say that you really dislike Ylvis, Peruvian food or people that try to get on the tube before others get off. Be clear about what you love as well as what grinds your gears as well as what you love and you’ll be much more
likely to meet people you click with.

So lay to rest your desire to get a perfect score and instead refocus on what you can do to be as clear about who you are & what you want as possible. Because it’s better to meet one person you really click with than 10 who you think are ok.
