6 Tips on Making Online Dating Work

#1 Choose a good photo. The very first thing that people see, is your photo. Even if you're not in love with your appearance, don't take a blurry picture. Not a single adult will pick someone with a blurry picture! By the way, don't choose pictures that are older than three years. In fact, your profile photo should be as recent as possible, so grab a camera, make some photos and choose the best one.

#2 Be more specific about you. Have you seen how many fields are there to be filled in? You don't have to answer all questions, but leaving all of them unanswered is also no good. So what you need is to provide as much information about you, as you want to. At the same time don't write one thousand words about you, because nobody will read that. People see you as a dating prospect, not as the best selling author.

#3 Avoid cliches. What do you like to do? Hanging out, chilling out and doing stuff? You will never believe it, but there are thousands of people around you, who love the same things. So if you're looking for someone boring, go ahead with these cliches. Providing more specific information about you lets you find the person, who's got the same interests as you.

#4 Try to meet your potential partners. Online chatting is great, but it will never let you understand, if this person is really for you or not. You might never like the picture, but in reality this person will look much better. Always try to meet or at least video-chat all your potential partners before you crystallize your view on them.

#5 Don't trust filters. Being more specific about the person you'd love to meet gives you opportunity to find someone, who totally matches your criteria. But the filters never guarantee, that you will find common language and match. So don't use too much filters, just specify whom you wouldn't like to meet.

#6 Don't date too many people. When you're super popular and have several matches to choose from, you're likely to stay alone. The problem is, that having more options makes it harder to choose only one person. You won't be able to focus on a certain person, when you know, that you've got plenty of others to meet. So meet one person at one time, no more than that!
