Whether you have just ventured into the online dating world or you have been trying out the practice for several months, there is a good chance that you have heard at least one or two horror stories. You have probably even heard someone say or said to yourself, “Online dating sucks!” Well, dating, in general, is tough. It doesn’t matter if you are dating online or in person, there are going to be struggles that you have to overcome. That being said it is possible that there are some distinct reasons that you are failing at your online venture.
Your Profile Is Lacking
It really doesn’t get much plainer than this. Having a bad profile is about the same as walking into a job interview with your worst attire. You might possess all the skills and knowledge that you need to do the job, but if you don’t look the part, you are going to get overlooked. This very same concept applies to your online profile. This doesn’t mean that you have to be the most attractive individual on the planet. It just simply means that you need to look the part. Not only do you need a clear, presentable photo, but you need a catchy bio. Always be honest and use the most recent information and pictures.
Your Standards Are Too High
It is true that every single individual out there has a picture of the idea mate in their mind before they even start seeking them out. There is nothing wrong with this and you should never settle. That being said it is entirely possible that you are being a little too picky about certain things. Jobs and locations can change over time. However, it is the individual’s character traits that won’t change. Don’t judge a person just because they have a lower paying job or live at of state. Look at their moral values and what they hold true to their heart. These are the qualities that really matter and will remain constant throughout time.
Not Using The Right Sites
One of the most difficult things about online dating is finding the right site. And, this is because there are so many sites out there. Each different site will offer different features along with different members. Some sites match you up by metric, while other sites will let you browse through their entire database. That being said it really comes down to what you are looking for in a relationship. For instance, if you are looking for Christian singles then take advantage of sites that offer these types of matches.
Your Not Seeing What’s In Front Of You
A lot of people fail at online dating because they simply ignore the singles that have viewed their profile. If someone has clicked on your profile then it means that they are somewhat interested in you. Just because they didn’t contact you it doesn’t mean that you should give up there. Don’t be afraid to make the first contact by sending out a message. At the very least you could say, “Hey, I seen you viewed my profile, but didn’t message. Can I ask why?”
Being Too Hesitant
Meeting singles online is a great way to break the ice. For shy individuals, online dating provides a more relaxed and comfortable dating environment. However, there is going to come a time when you have to drop your guard or get over the shyness. If you prolong the meeting in person stage then your potential mate is going to think that you aren’t interested.
