Free Online Dating – Why bother making an effort?

Online Dating and the New Era

We are now living in an era where everything is happening faster thanks to technology and as time goes on, the stigma attached to online dating is getting less. A few years back, if you heard that someone met their partner online, your immediate reaction would have been different to what you may think now as dating online is no different to us using Facebook or even twitter.

The Importance of Making an Effort

Nothing in life comes easy and using a free or paid dating site is no exception. Many users complete their online dating profile, sit back and wait to be contacted by someone and literally after a few days or even hours they get disappointed and frustrated as to why no one ever contacted them so they decide to delete their profile with their reason being “did not get any views or messages”. Sorry to burst your bubble but you will never find your true love unless you make an effort by contacting or at the very least, viewing other member’s profiles and by not giving up. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Imagine if everyone on a dating site decided to do this! What do you think would happen? I will let you do the math.

So, How Do I Make “an effort”?

• Start by creating a fun and honest dating profile, which truly represents who you are.
• Add at least two or more clear photos of your face and full body to your profile (fully clothed of course).
• Start looking through other member’s profile and start interacting with them by either winking at them or writing clever, witty and funny messages to break the ice.
• Be careful not to come across as offensive or rude as this can sometimes happen due to the facts that messages are just letters and emotionless.
• Do not give up. Good things come to those who are determined and put in the effort. Sign in actively and see your new matches or new members and say hi to them.

Making an effort using online dating sites is very important as there is someone else sitting behind that screen just like yourself and if your messages are short or boring, they would not reply as they are probably getting a lot of messages and they only look for eye catching messages.
