4 Online Dating Tips for Women

Last week I posted a couple articles about online dating. I received a ton of emails from ladies asking me a bunch of questions.

I got questions like:

 

“I know this guy looked at my profile, why didn’t he contact me?”

 

“How long should I wait for a guy to contact me?”

 

“What should I say about myself in the profile?”

 

“How do I make my profile stand out?”

 

There is so much I want to tell you about online dating, but for now, I want to share these 4 online dating tips. I’m hoping these will help answer some of your questions and get you on the right track.

 

#1 Dating is a numbers game.

Don’t message one guy and then wait three weeks for him to message you back.

 

As you look through profiles, contact as many men as you find interesting. You can contact them or just let them know you may be interested with a wink.

 

Additionally, don’t expect the first man you go out with to be your Mr. Right. Although that might happen, it is not necessarily likely.

 

So if your first date doesn’t work out, don’t get discouraged about online dating. You have to keep trying.

 

#2 Women are in control when it comes to online dating.

 

I spoke with a woman recently about her online dating experience. I was curious about a couple things.

 

I asked her how many men contacted her, and she told me dozens. I asked her how many of those men she went out with, and she told me none.

 

Then I asked her how many men she contacted; she said five. I asked her how many of those she went on a date with, and she said all five.

 

I tell you this to illustrate a point. Women are in the driver’s seat when it comes to online dating.

 

If you are interested in someone, don’t wait hoping he’ll message you first. You can’t be afraid to make the first move.

 

#3 Make sure your heading will make people look at your profile

 

When I look at online dating profiles, I see the same headings over and over again.

 

“Looking for The One”

 

“Ready to Settle Down”

 

“Waiting for Love”

 

Blah, blah, blah. Be different and be bold.

 

Even if your heading is a joke or something crazy, at least you will capture people’s attention, which is better than being overlooked. Try something like:

 

“Hate Long Walks on the Beach” or “Free Psychic Reading with Date”

 

#4 Talk about what you are really interested in

 

Avoid overly generalized statements that could apply to anyone.

 

You are limited in terms of how much you can write in your profile. Don’t waste your word count on things that either don’t matter or could be assumed.

 

Skip talking about how you’re a good person, you love your friends and family, and you’re looking for someone to share your life with.

 

Instead, focus on what makes you unique.

 

Say you love singing in the car, you hate fried pickles, and being the first person to use a new jar of peanut butter brings you joy.

 

Talk about your favorite sports team or your hobbies. Don’t say you like to have fun. Say exactly what you think is fun….talk about how much you enjoy white water rafting or how you tried out for a roller derby team.

 

It doesn’t have to be something huge or monumental. Maybe you enjoy watching musicals or Law & Order reruns. Maybe your favorite game is 20 questions.

 

Telling people about these things is far more interesting than saying you love your mom and you want someone to share your dreams with.

 

Okay, that is all for now. I’m sure I’ll be sharing more online dating tips soon. In the mean time, take my free online dating quiz. CLICK HERE to access the quiz.
