- Selecting the right online dating sites: The
first step is to find the best online
dating sites which cater to your requirements. There is no point in
making a profile on those free dating sites which don’t fulfill
your criteria. You are bound to fail in case if the free online dating site
with whom you are registered is not catering in your geographic location, suits
your relationship requirements or doesn’t take into account for your
personality, appearance and the lifestyle.

date for an hour’s time. Within this period, the identities of the
users are hidden and will only be revealed once the users chat for an hour’s
time.

giving much importance to how one looks.
- Typos in the online dating profiles: Any
kind of grammatical errors or typos are big no in the dating profiles. It’s not
just about losing one or two prospective matches. It’s more about presenting
yourself, your personality and image to others. This also shows that you being
a meticulous person give importance & attention to every small detail.
- Profile and other additional
photos: Profile image is the first and the foremost thing anyone is
going to look at. And in case if that is not clicked perfectly or is covered
with some prom, you are bound to lose your chances of getting a prospective
match. Therefore, the principle is to have a professionally clicked photo of
yours for the profile image. Additionally, don’t hide your face with any
sunglasses or hat or any facial tattoo. There is no point in hiding your face
and losing opportunities. Moreover, don’t upload images of you with your
friends. It’s very confusing and there is always a possibility of losing your
potential match to your friend. Moreover, it’s always advisable to upload multiple
images of your to give a clear idea about you.
- Adjusting the reality vs
expectations: One has to balance his/her expectations with reality. Focusing
more on the profile image, how one look like and the facial features will only
make you more selective even if you find someone more genuine. It’s easy to
forgo a potential match because of his/her average looks.
To make this easier, online
dating site like Blinddate.com
offers a feature to upload multiple images.
- Comprehensive information:
Provide as much information as possible about yourself in the profile. This
helps in making an initial decision whether one is best-fit or not. One has
this chance not only to write about himself/herself but also about his/her
expectations. Websites like Blinddate.com
offers a comprehensive 40-point profile form so that a potential match will
get a suitable chance to present himself/herself.
One doesn’t necessarily have to write about the current job but
must have to explain what interest him/her in the current job. Writing about
the life goals and achievements will definitely help one in making a decision.
- Add a tinge of humor:
Being humorous is good. It makes the whole environment more relaxed. Adding
some humor in the profile will definitely gives you an advantage over the
others. One can use self-deprecating, high-brow, satirical or simple tease will
help one in grabbing the attention of the potential mates.
