If you want to achieve success with online dating, you will need to educate yourself with the online dating scene. Online dating sites provide a service for people to meet but a dating site can only do so much of the work and input is required from you if you are serious about meeting a partner online.
Whilst thousands of people are joining dating sites every day, hundreds are not making the most of the services a dating site has to offer. I’m no psychic but I’m pretty certain that someone who writes a dull or uninformative profile, doesn’t include a photo and makes no effort to contact anyone will not be inundated with invitations for a date.
By making a few simple changes to the way you are dating online, you could see instant results meeting people you would never have met before so don’t be a wallflower, stand out online and be proactive in your search for a date.
1. Sell Yourself
Your profile is like an advertisement and you need to sell yourself in the dating game.
The eye-catching part of you profile is your photo. Include a photo of yourself (not someone else or a cartoon!) and you could increase your responses by as much as 8 times.
Answer all questions honestly, be positive, focus on your good points and provide members with just enough information about yourself so that they are eager to find out more. Please don’t talk about exes or how miserable your life is…. it won’t attract people to you!
2. Search outside of the box
We may all have an idea of our ideal partner but just because someone is slightly younger, older or from a different town doesn’t mean they won’t turn out to be your ideal partner! Most dating sites provide a search facility to vary your search settings so if your search results don’t reveal anyone who catches your eye try widening your search settings.
3. Get intimate anonymously
The beauty of online dating is that you can get to know someone without revealing any personal details. Emails are sent using an anonymous messaging facility so take advantage of this and spend as long as you wish getting to know someone. Don’t feel pressured into meeting up with someone you have just met online. If they are serious, they will be happy to wait if this is your preference.
4. Make the first move
Don’t be shy – you make the first move. Remember everyone online is serious about meeting someone so, if you see someone you like, contact him or her first. Don’t wait for someone to contact you.
5. Make conversation
Show your interest - The best way to get someone’s attention and get a response is to ask a question specific to his or her profile. This shows you have read their profile and are interested in them.
Flatter them! - Don’t be afraid to use your charm! Whether you like their photo or you are impressed by the fact that they have run the marathon – tell them. Everyone likes receiving compliments.
Make them laugh! - I think if you can make someone laugh or someone makes you laugh, you’re on the path to a good relationship. Be witty and amusing in your messages and they will look forward to hearing from you.
Be flirtatious, not rude! – Don't be afraid to flirt a little if that's how you feel but equally don't be too flirtatious as it could be taken the wrong way. Never talk about sex or imply this is what you are looking for.
6. Keep a little mystique!
Whilst I would encourage you to talk openly and honestly about yourself so that people get to know you try not to tell your whole life story in one e-mail. Hold a little something back for the next message.
7. Arrange a chat room date
Chat rooms are another great way to chat instantly with someone without revealing any personal information. A quality chat room will also provide the facility to have a private one-to-one chat with someone so if you’ve messaged someone, why not invite them to meet you in the chat room at a specific time and day… just like a “real” date. You can then decide whether you want to take it further “offline”.
8. Chat on the phone
If you’re thinking of arranging a date with someone, chat to him or her on the telephone first but use the blocking feature to prevent your number appearing on Caller ID. Go over topics that you’ve mentioned in emails to verify that what he or she has told you is the truth. Ask yourself if the voice you are talking to is someone you feel comfortable with and someone you could trust.
9. Don’t be disheartened
If you’ve sent a message but haven’t received a reply, don’t be disheartened. There could be many reasons why someone hasn’t replied to a message you’ve sent; the recipient may not have logged on for a while, their membership may have lapsed or they may not be a full member entitling them to reply back to you.
If you’ve sent one message then follow it up with a second message to show him or her that you are genuinely interested. If you still don’t get a response, move on to the next person!
10. Give people a chance
If you receive a message from someone who does not immediately tick all of your boxes, don’t rule them out straight away. Reply back to him or her and try and find out a bit more about them. You may have more in common than you first thought and, if not, at least you can say you tried.
11. Be polite when rejecting
If you don’t like someone who has contacted you, do not be rude or offensive. You can either ignore them (hopefully this will get the message across) or politely tell them you are not interested. A reputable dating site will provide a facility to “block” nuisances sending you messages so, if someone is pestering you, don’t be afraid to use this tool.
12. Be safe!
Do not give anyone your home telephone number, address or workplace address until you have met a number of times and are 100% comfortable with that person. Remember that people can be whoever they want to be online - wait until your instincts tell you this is someone you can trust.
If you find you don’t get many responses, you may need to think about alternative conversation starters or rewrite your profile.
Hopefully you’ve got the idea now so it’s over to you! Good luck and remember to have fun!

When, how and how often should you call?
We all know that communication is key to a healthy relationship. What few men could not have is the importance of telephone calls. How often call a bride? When call a girl? How do you often return call girl?
Phone - a miracle of modern age, that allows communication over long distances. Although this wonderful tool has been one of the most important assets of the man in the history of humanity, has also been the source of some of the dilemmas of the man and many a headache, especially relating to girls. This dilemma is only compounded by the arrival of services answering, call monitoring and other similar devices.
Know when and how often call is something every boy should know if you want to master the art of telecommunications with the alleged sex. All in all, this knowledge can really make or break a relationship, even before it has really begun.
Call for the first time
So you know the girl of his dreams in a night club. Somehow generate the courage to talk with her and BAM!, instant connection. Interesting conversation, then occurs. She really laugh at your jokes, and wonder of wonders, she gives your phone number.
Does therefore accomplished the mission, right? Wrong. Son sorry, but this battle just it has just begun. The first call is often the most complex and causes men propagandists more problems. Basically this screwed may mean cuts in the wings of a beautiful relationship possibly before it has an opportunity to take flight.
Time is everything
Be sure to not jump the gun. It is important for the first call time correctly for maximum effect. Call too soon to ask a girl out may give the impression of being too eager. About three days is an extended period of waiting. "Hey" "Who is this new"? Waiting too long can be just as bad. Nothing is worse than be forgotten. It is important to not wait more than a week to avoid a potentially embarrassing conversation.
So now you finally have a girlfriend. You have been dating for a while. Telecommunications is still an important part of the relationship.
Here are some things to remember:
First and foremost when he says that it is going to call it, call. Do not call when it is waiting for one can cause to contemplate their intentions. This can lead to the bride to think you're not really in it. She could even start looking for other parts of some tender loving care.
Avoid calls at work. Occasionally when you have a valid reason is okay, but also that much can distract it.
Schedule your call after hours of work. Even if you have nothing to do throughout the day, it is not necessary to know that. It is imperative to give the impression of life agitated and occupied. It is obviously better even if you really have one. It's best to call in the middle of the week, if you are going to ask you out for the weekend. This will allow lots of time to prepare for the possible meeting.
After leaving a message, all that's left now is wait for a return call. Days later, it might be possible that it does not ask again? No, it is not possible. The message must have gone astray, right? Therefore, the message was left to someone, if a relatively good opportunity so that she did not receive. So feel free to call after one day. If you leave some kind of answering service, most likely is that she received and simply does not want to call back.
If you leave a message, you may want to wait a day to call to not appear in each call of and beck. Exceptions are applied when the message is somewhere in the lines of "help, my house is on fire!"
If you find geographically separated for a time, you don't have to necessarily bombard you with phone calls. Just make sure that the calls you make are significant. Even you could send a personalized gift or card only to remind you of you.
Usually cannot be called to your girlfriend too often unless it is of course find reasons to cut the conversation short. This is a sign that she is showing traces of asphyxiation. Three times a day just to say howdy is a bit much.
As with the other things in life, when it comes to call his girlfriend, is the quality and not quantity that matters more. And above all, don't forget to call when you say that you.
