Important Online Dating Tips for Starters

---

Online dating has been available for years but is just now beginning to be accepted as a valid way for singles to meet. No more making up stories about how you met, although she may insist. With millions of people meeting for the very first time online, it is hard for society to say it is wierd. Sure we would all want to bump into our soul mate on the street but how many women do you meet in your day to day life?? Not enough! You are leaving your love life up to chance. What if she is on the other side of town??

Trying out online dating is intimidating to guys. What the hell do you do? What are the steps? Why is nobody answering my emails I spent 40 minutes writing? Trying out online dating is intimidating to guys. What the hell do you do? What are the steps? Why is nobody answering my emails I spent 40 minutes writing?

These are some questions I will attempt to answer in this article.

What are the steps? First sign up, I highly recommend match.com it is the only one I met quality women on. Eharmony was a disappointment, mostly fat women.

Signing up is easy, next you want to get or have taken some great photos. Not old photos you find. Get some good ones and a variety. Some outdoors doing things, some against a white backdrop with clear well lighted photos. Be dressed up in some. Don't show off your muscles, keep it smooth and classy but intrigueing. About 3 photos is fine for starters. There is a great website lookbetteronline.com that for $50 will take pro photos of you for your profile. They are well worth it. Bad photos are a killer online.

So get your photo up and then craft a well written profile about yourself and who you are looking for. Be very explicit about your requirements but leave a little leeway for more women to meet the criteria. Don't be a control freak, just mention some things that are no-nos. The profile should be about you and what you like to do. Don't brag. Tell it like it will be when you go out on a date. Your profile should not tell everything, just tidbits of who you are and are going to be. Be a little vague and mysterious.

Talk about your family and some good stories of things you have done. Most important write so she could see herself going on your next adventure. Women want to have fun.

Now once you get the profile setup, start browsing and use the search button to find potentials. Then you want to write a simple how you doing email. Tell her something specific you like in her profile. Talk about one of her favorites. Give her something cool that she would be interested in. Keep a set first email template and just change the details. Send to 10 to 15 women. Now don't wait, tomorrow send to 10 to 15 more.

Look for how long it has been since she was online. And also how new she is to the site. These are critical, it gives you an idea how soon she might email you back. If she is new, she is getting hit with 50-100 emails a day. All you can do is keep sending emails out until you get a reply. Try different subject lines. Good ones to use are her favorite hobby in the subject. Re: Dane Cook is cool but...

Keep searching and emailing out. Watch your results and save good emails that worked before.

Don't get hooked on this and spend hours a day on it. 2 hours 3 nights a week is plenty and should get you lots of emails back. Some key mistakes: talking about sex, acting like you are too cool, bragging.

For your second email, just carry on the conversation and find out a few more things about her. What makes her tick, what is she looking for. Always include direct reply info at the bottom of the emails. Offer your phone number and ask for hers. Don't get dragged into ongoing email only love affairs. It is a waste of time. Tell her you are really busy and have a free day on..

Don't get discouraged, she may be dating others. In a week or two, she may be available again. Send emails to the women that interest you once this week, and again next week.

After 2 attempts it is usually best to move on.

Be interesting and offer something special like a cool activity. Stress no pressure, friendly get together in public. For only 1 hour.

Make sure online dating isn't all you do. Keep building an interesting fun life by doing lots of fun activities. This gives you more to talk about and makes you an interesting guy.

Just a few tips to get you going towards online dating success. Check out more of the website for online dating tips. Good luck, it does work.
