By Good question! Online dating is the modern way to meet singles, wherever in the world you happen to live, but for every person who claims to have met the love of their life on top dating sites, there are probably hundreds more who have met only dismal failure. So if you are asking yourself: Why am I having no success with online dating, read on for helpful pointers as to why this might be happening and what you need to do to maximize your chances of success!
There are many reasons why your experiences of online dating are doomed to fail. Some of the reasons are out of your control, but often times it is on your hands, so let me help you make a success of online dating and ensure you are in the best possible position to meet the person of your dreams!
Expectations
Before you embark on online dating, it is helpful to write down a list of qualities you are looking for in a prospective partner. Organize them into “deal breakers” and “desirable”. Once you have completed this exercise, take a good hard look at what you have written down and make sure you are not seeking someone who cannot possibly exist in the real world. For example, there is nothing wrong with specifying a new partner that is a non-smoker or does not do drugs, but insisting that all prospective dates earn 100k per year, have no children, are 6 foot plus, handsome/beautiful, intelligent, and love small animals is likely to limit your dating pool. In other words, be realistic!
Honesty
Once you have assembled a realistic list of qualities in a potential partner, take a good hard look at what you have to offer. For example, there is little point in deciding you want to meet a twenty something blonde bombshell if you are a sixty something with an unhealthy obsession with trains. Let’s be honest here – you are unlikely to have much in common! Honesty is always the best policy, so never be tempted to lie about your appearance and interests on a dating profile in order to impress: you will only get caught out.
Relationship status
If your last serious relationship ended less than a month ago, give yourself (and others) a break before signing up for online serious relationship dating sites. You are unlikely to be ready for a new relationship and it is not fair to toy with the feelings of others to help you deal with the emotional wreckage of your last relationship. Online dating will never work while you are still hung up on your ex, so get over them BEFORE setting your sights on a new date!
Spot the losers
This one takes practice, but unless you have a finely tuned “bullshit radar”, you are likely to end up dating a large number of losers on your quest for “the one”. How is a loser defined? Well that is pretty easy really. A loser is anyone who is attached/married to somebody else, a player, or someone who has no intention of actually meeting you, but wants to be entertained during quiet periods at work. So if you find yourself continually dating the type who messes you about, or drags their feet about actually meeting in the first place, vow to spend more time vetting profiles with a magnifying glass before committing to anything—it will save you a great deal of frustration in the long run.
And finally, do not give up—online dating can and it does work…it just takes a bit of practice!
