Becoming a Master of Online Dating
There is a lot of curiosity about the world of internet romance and online dating. Much of that comes from all the media attention it gets. We see lots of advertisements for online dating services, which raises our interest. Then you can find people who write about finding their lover online or of the strange world of chat, email, online dating services, and cyber relationships that makes it all seem very strange and exotic.
The truth is you can find a very fun, fulfilling, and rewarding relationship or series of romantic relationships online. Think of the online world of romance like a whole new exciting world that you have not yet begun to explore. And because it is new, it is full of adventure, fun, excitement, and that joy of discovery that makes anything new a thrill to get involved with.
And just as you would any new world, you have to learn the tricks, the language, and the roads and pathways to success in getting to know people in the online world and eventually to developing warm, romantic relationships with the men and women you meet there. Here are some key areas to spend time on to make your online “presence” really shout out to the available dates in cyberspace.
Flash those Teeth
In the world of cyberspace, things like your picture and your profile are your face and presence to those who meet you. When you meet a person in real life, they can look at you and learn a lot about what kind of person you are. The picture that you post on your dating service or chat service will serve that same purpose.
Select your picture carefully. Make sure it shows your personality and is not stiff or formal. But also make sure it shows off what a hottie you are. It’s fine if you want to “stage” a picture. That is not phony any more than dressing up nice for a party or date is. Or go through your photos and find one that shows a lot of personality and says to the person “Get to know me”. Use that one and always be on the lookout for a better picture of you to swap out or use on new chat or dating services you start to use.
Your Profile: That Vital First impression
Your profile is that page of information that you provide about yourself. It provides the basics: your age, occupation, level of education, as well as things vital to the guy or girl who is looking at it with a mind for romance. That would include what you like in a romantic partner, what kinds of things you like to do when dating, and your views on romance, long-term relationships, marriage, and even children.
When filling this out, put yourself in the viewer’s shoes and give information that will draw him or her to you as a romantic prospect. Brief thoughts about your feelings about your family, religion, and commitment go a long way even at this early stage of your relationship.
But don’t forget to flirt with your profile. The title of the profile may be listed on pages and pages of profiles along with your picture, so put some creativity into what it says. If it is something funny, cute, or flirtatious that can draw someone to want to open your profile and read more, then it has done its job.
Email is the Third Big component
Your picture and profile are the one-two punch of stepping into the world of online dating. Handling your email correctly is the third major step. Whether responding to an inquiry email from someone who like your profile, or if you are making the first contact, treat that email like that first “hello” when beginning to flirt with someone.
Make it cute, interesting, flirtatious, and slightly romantic. Keep it short but put a “hook” into each email to make them want to answer you and learn more. Then as you begin to email and then move into chat or other forms of on line communications, you can begin to get more personal just as you would as you settle in at the club to get to know someone new.
Keep that parallel of meeting someone new at a party, flirting, making them feel interested and safe enough to draw in closer, being intriguing, fun and exciting as the relationship picks up speed and being that “perfect someone” to them as they get closer. As you use these tips to maneuver the relationship toward a routine online date or even further to the eventual first in-person date, you can become a genuine online dating master and the results will be fun and exciting online dates that might lead to much more later on.
