It's all about getting noticed! Here are a few tips to
get the most out of flirting or dating online:
Your Profile
Think about it - if you were going out to hoping to meet
someone, chances are you'd take a bit of time to dress
up or down depending on your style and the type of
person you'll be looking to meet. The same goes for your
online profile.
The old saying about first impressions was never truer
than now online; you may only have a few seconds to make
the right impression. So take a while to get it right.
Most importantly, be honest. If you claim to be Arnie in
The Terminator and turn out to be a stand-in for Mr
Bean, chances are you'll not be off to a great start.
Let's look at the basics:
Your Screen Name and Profile Headline
Choose something that says something about you and
possibly the type of person you'd hope to get in touch
with. If you call yourself JacuzziBabe, don't be
surprised when you get hundreds of messages from guys
not interested in 2.4 kids, a dog and station wagon.
However, if you're after a bit of bubbly fun, then
you're spot on.
Your Profile Content
You'll notice that most questions have the option of not
being answered. Think about those that you leave blank.
You may prefer not to answer a specific question (your
religion, for example) but leaving some others (say,
eye-colour) tends to just look like a sloppy profile.
When it comes to the 'narrative' section, take some time
over it. We can't all be Oscar Wilde, but a few
well-written lines will go along way to getting noticed.
Photos
It's a fact: profiles with photos get much more
attention. Choose photos that are clear and uncluttered.
Ideally, use photos that have you as the only person in
the picture to avoid confusion. Besides, your friends
and family might not want to be published online, so
respect their privacy.
Update Your Profile
Not getting the attention or responses you'd like?
Review your profile regularly and update it every now
and then. Keep it fresh!
A few simple ideas and you should be off to a flying
start.
You have two choices now:
1. Delete this.
