We are lucky that we live in the 21st century and have the freedom in picking potential partners that we have today. These days to find relationships has never been easier; to hold on to them is another matter and it is to people who have been in long term relationships that are returning to the ‘marketplace’ after a long absence that this article is aimed at.

Ok, let’s first of all tell you about the hard way of doing it. Put on your glad rags, phone up you old mates(most of whom will have probable moved on) and get out there on the street and find your perfect partner! Easy or what? Well no, actually it isn’t that easy really and besides, everywhere you look you see that the ‘marketplace’ has got younger, or is it that you are looking for a more mature partner. Well where are these mature people hiding? Certainly not down the local Grab a Granny that’s for sure. If they have got any sense, they will be wading through the thousands upon thousands of profiles available online with a browser in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.

Online Dating is huge. The statistics speak for themselves. One In five people that get married these days, has met their partner through a Dating Agency. So how does it work?

It’s simple. Find yourself an Online Agency. Register for free, and have a look around the profiles. If you like anything that you see, then make the commitment, pay the membership fee and become active. This means you are now allowed to contact and be contacted by other members.

Online Dating. The Reality . ‘It’s Dating Jim, But Not As We Know I!’

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Let’s talk facts : between one and two percent of all marriages in 2011 where started on the Internet. Statistically, if you meet your spouse on the Internet through one of the vast array of companies out there, you are less likely to end up divorced than if you had met down the pub. So why is this? Luck? Well no it’s not luck but the opposite; Online Dating is a more logical way of meeting potential partners and takes a lot of the hit or miss approach out of the equation.

Let’s examine the facts. You live in a town or a city and go out for a year in your area to pubs, clubs etc. You are not shy but not one of these outwardly active people that will go and talk to strangers. When you are out, 100% of the people you see are a closed book and your only source of information is whether they are physically pleasing to your eyes. Not so with the Dating Agency which is after all an online club. You enter a Matchmaking Site (for free) and browse around the people in there. The first difference is the number, which is significantly more than can be fitted into a hundred clubs or pubs. The next big difference is that they are all giving out information about themselves and what they are looking for in a partner. Oh yes! and there is usually a picture too!

Out there down the pub, maybe you see something pleasant to the eye and maybe if you are brave enough or drunk enough you make a move. So what are you entering? Well you don’t really know because there can be a thousand reasons why making a move in this type of situation is a mistake. The person could be married, not looking to find a mate, not interested in you, a bigot, a bore………..etc…….etc. and there you are trying to make the best of the situation before embarrassedly making for the door.

Online however, if you are ready to travel to the next step. You pay a membership fee that enables you not only to browse the site, but to approach and be approached by other members. This can either be live (instant chat) or more slowly by Email. The choice is yours and unlike the pub you are always in command of the situation. If you are getting the right signals off someone, go to the next stage and get together and see if there is a chemistry. If it doesn’t work? No problem get back online a start again.

Simple or what? The difference between Online Dating and going out and finding a relationship is the same as going out with a spear to get something to eat or popping down to the supermarket. There is no comparison. Maybe this is why more and more people are joining the online dating revolution.

What You Type Online Can Make Or Break A Potential Date!

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

I have always contended that grammar and spelling are imperative in regards to online dating but now there is evidence to back up this claim of mine.

Zoe Hazelwood a psychologist at the Queensland University of Technology recently led a study which found that grammatical and spelling errors come into play when deciding if an online suitor would be suitable in real life. It is not necessarily the words that pop up within the messenger windows of dating websites that are being analyzed but rather, the ways in which the words are presented.

“Although online traditional non-verbal cues are not present, in our research we found people do judge potential partners on things aside from what they are saying [¦] including spelling errors, use of acronyms, amount of exclamation marks, use of grammar – things like that” she noted.

Hazelwood said that users of online dating websites were unlikely to take relations any further with anyone with a writing style that they deem poor.

I personally am annoyed by anyone that I am messaging online over uses the acronym “LOL” (laugh out loud) there is little chance that anyone I am chatting with finds me quite THAT hilarious! In a similar vein, I get aggravated by the over use of smilies but this is probably because I am particularly keen on men who can express themselves well using the English language.

So does this indicate that any person with a learning impairment should not use dating websites? That’s crazy talk! If you apologise from the start for your poor spelling or grammar skills and are actually making some effort with you typing etiquette, then you stand as good a chance as anyone else using the website!

Hazelwood was also thrilled to see from the results of her research that are wide variety of ages use dating websites; over 50s dating is just as popular as early 20s dating!

Your Profile

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

There are many online sites that will include counters so that you may see how many viewers look into your page every day. Some of the sites will even make the information public, that is when they will post your information for everyone to see. This will go without saying that the longer that you are a member the higher your number of views will be. However you may have noticed that others who may seem to be similar to you countless views every day while you simple get one or two of them. If you are serious about online dating and it is important to understand why you are not getting a large number of the views, you need to correct the problems. The more that view your profile, the more likely you will be to meet someone with the relationship that you want.

First of all, you will need to grab a person’s attention. Be certain that you have a location picked out so that when people use the search option based on location your name will appear on their list. Find out what the information is listed when you perform a search. Many dating websites will give the users the option to create a “headline” for their profiles and this as well as age and location is given to the searcher and they can choose to click on your name and continue on to your profile.

You should be sure that you have a picture uploaded. Many of the people will only consider contacting people who post pictures. If you do not have a picture on your profile, you will arouse suspicions of the other online daters. Otherwise it will seem like you have to hide. Any picture even if you consider one that is not so flattering, is better than none at all.

You should always write a creative headline and always worry about your user name. The headline “looking for a date” may not get many good views based on its generic qualities. However a headline like “Anyone want to go golfing?” shows that you have different interests and are up for a possible real life meeting. Your user name will work in much of the same way. Joel 123 will never get as many messages as EaglesFan2003. Make sure that your name and headline say something that you want them to know. However bring attention in a good way and stay away from disgusting sexual names and phrases, which are unattractive to most users and will show you in a light that may not be right.

As a final step, you need to reply to messages that you receive even if you are not interested. Many sites will list the percentages of messages that are viewed and how often you reply. Someone who sees that you only view 20% of your messages and even further only rely to 8% of them may be discouraged from giving you a message. However if you view 100% of your messages and reply to 85% of them, he or she may not be so shy.

You need to be honest, responsive, and creative. With some hard work your profile can gain the popularity that you see some others have. The more views that you get will mean that the more likely you are to meet online daters that have similar interests as you do. It is in your best interest to create an attention getter for your profile.
