SEX LOVE FRIENDS ONLINE

Dating online is part of life for millions of people. When you are looking for love you will be thinking a lot about what you want from a relationship… love, future, friendship, commitment, companionship, attraction, fun.

1. Research Competition

Although this might sound gay, have a look at profiles of other people that you are competing against. This will help you to understand the other alternatives your candidates will see. Don't forget it's all relative. That's why research matters. Note what you think works with these people and what doesn't. List few qualities you posses, and interests that you have that these people don't. This will help you differentiate from the competition.

2. Research Potential Dates

Observe commonalities between profiles. Do they like to travel, cook, go clubbing, wine&dine, read, discuss politics, religious.. Make a list of the things that they mention, and you'd like too. In the end it's all about commonalities. The more common things you have, the easier you'll click with the person.

Stage 2. Create your profile

1. Profile picture

Women are natural at highlighting their good features and hiding their less desirable features. So if you are a woman, skip this section you already know what you are doing. If you are a man, ask a girlfriend for advise. If you don't have any female advise read on;

It's all about the first impression. Your profile photo is the first point of contact, and it has to give the right impression. I think you can summarize all your personality in 3 photos;

• A real smile portrait. It gives trust, it makes connection, and most importantly it shows that you can smile!
• A group shot. It gives context to what your social status is and most importantly you are social.
• An activity shot. If you like reading books, get a shot of you reading a book on the beach. If you like playing a guitar, a photo while you are playing would do. The think to watch out here is, make sure that someone else takes the photo for you.

2. Profile Text

Do not write your resume here. Keep it short, and include a summary of information that you've prepared on stage 1.

The purpose here is not to inform everything about you, but to inform just enough that people would like to learn more. A bit of mystery injection here will create wonders, and great conversation starters.

Do not mention anything negative that you don't have to, and do not over contemplate on things.

Stage 3. Communicate

1. Messaging

As Craig said freshness does go a long way. Both for women and men, the playful style gets responded a lot more than, direct and purely informative messages. In the end everyone likes to play and you have more chance to connect to people more during play.

Comment on something that they have written on their profile and that truly interests you. If there is nothing that you like about him/her in the profile, and you are just going for the looks, say that too. Honesty goes a long way!

2. Replying to messages

Keep messaging period short. The point of messaging online is to put your feet on the door as Craig have beautifully worded it. Usually a week time and 4 messages in total should be enough to schedule a date.

3. Waiting For Reply's

Not everyone checks their dating profile everyday. Even if they do, they do not answer it as soon as they read the message because they don't want to look very keen. And it's OK. Be patient, wait for messages, and do not send another message before you get a reply.

99% of the people that I've dated and helped were nice people, and so probably you are too. Be your best self, be prepared, be honest, and keep things light on your first date.
