Tips on how to get the most out of a dating service

1 - Most dating services encourage you to upload a photo. This is good for their business but it is also ESSENTIAL for you. You may never even be seen without one as the majority of searchers will exclude adverts without a photograph from their search.

2 - Think carefully about which pictures to use.
Guys - don't use that picture of you after a joyous amount of beer.
Ladies - don't use a photo of you with your ex-boyfriend snipped out.

3 - Get someone to take a photo of you on your own. One facial and one full-length. Make an effort to look happy, relaxed and natural. Do not go to a studio.

4 - When writing your profile, don't rush it. Don't write it like an email as the quality will suffer.
Proof read and always check your spelling.

5 - Think about what you want to say. Tell the person a little about yourself and what you are looking for in a partner.
Guys - try to say more about yourself than what sports you like and that you're kind, sincere and genuine, It feels like we women are reading the same profile over and over again. Do not mention sex.
Ladies - just keep on writing them like you do.

6 - Be positive. Don't write things like "Bored and lonely".

7 - Do not write one or two line adverts. Frankly if you can't put in any effort then you are either lazy or you can't really be that interested in meeting someone and the reader will pick up on this.

8 - Try and find out how the site orders the adverts in the search results so that you can manipulate it to come out at the top of the list.

9 - It is important to write a good response to other people's adverts. As with your profile, proof read and double check spelling. Create a well written piece about yourself and then add an extra paragraph that relates to what the other person wrote and show an interest in finding out more about them.

10 - Don't think that by putting your advert up that is all you need to do. If everyone were to wait for someone else to contact them then there would be no point to it all. Browse around and if you find people you like the sound of send them a message, especially you ladies.

11 - Always respond to messages you receive, even if you are not interested. Remember that it is another human being that wrote to you and they will be checking their mail box for the response. It can be disappointing to get a 'thanks, but no thanks' but it is less stressful than waiting for a response that never comes.
