10 Differences Between Paid and Free Dating Sites that can Affect Your Match

There are also a few dating sites which are completely free, but they are advertised supported and have loads of spammy or fake users. It can be said that you get what you pay for…

What To Say and What NOT to Say When Opening an Online Dating Conversation on Internet Dating Sites
Posted on
Have you ever received a message from a potential match on an online dating site that has blown you away, but you are not sure how to open an online dating conversation with them? Or got a message that has made you delete the match as quickly as possible?
There is an art to having a good online dating conversation, and we are here to help you have a nice chat.
What not to say!
- Wassup?
- You have a beautiful smile.
- Great tits.
- Hello.
- Favorite drink?
Of course it depends what you are on the dating site for. If you are looking for a quick hook up, some of the above would probably be fine. But if you are looking for a more serious lasting relationship, try and be a little more serious, a little more witty, and a little more meaningful.
Ideas on what to say.
- Nice to meet you. I’m John, love to eat good food (plant based in particular) and appr

How to create the perfect online dating site profile to attract and find your perfect match
Posted on
It might appear to be a tiresome or boring formality, but an online dating profile is important. It sets the tone for how potential romantic matches see you and perceive you. By the way, there is no right or wrong profile pic for Internet Dating.
If you are a woman and your profile picture is in a skimpy bikini, you are going to be perceived as possibly flirtatious and sexy and probably get a corresponding response. If you are a woman wearing a business suit, sitting behind a desk, you are going to be perceived as serious and corporate, perhaps a bit more formal. If you are a guy and you are not wearing a shirt, you are giving out a certain message. If you are a man in front of a private jet, you are also giving out a certain message!
If you want to do the bikini thing, go for it. That may well be the image you want to put out there, and that is fine. Young people do totally different profile pics to older people. We would suggest though that you put a profile pi

Posted on
Sending Out The Right Signals? So you’ve seen someone you like – what now? Have they seen you? Today we take a look at sending the right signals tot he right people.
In the real world, the first step in meeting someone would be to catch their eye so that they know you’ve noticed them.

Ways to Improve Your Chances of Success With Online Dating Sites
Posted on
Research-based suggestions to identify the best prospects in the crowd. For those considering online dating, here are five simple tips to follow in order to maximise your chances of procuring a successful match.
“Successful” here means meeting someone with whom you can have a sustained and meaningful relationship. The suggestions are drawn from a paper by Finkel et al (2012):
Limit your Potential Choices
We should limit ourselves to a relatively small and manageable number of profiles within a certain timeframe. In the light of the above evidence, choosing from a smaller set of potential dates should aid our decision-making process, allowing us to select on criteria more likely to predict our satisfaction with someone once we meet them face-to-face.

The Online Dating Scene: One Secret to Success
Posted on
How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success. — Elbert Hubbard
I was talking to a lovely woman who works with me at eHarmony the other morning. She manages the customer care department, and deals with any and all issues regarding customer accounts, etc. I asked her what the most common complaint was for people using our service.
Her response was not what I expected: “People want us to deliver the perfect match to them immediately. They get really disappointed if they have not seen anyone they are interested in — even after just a week or two on the site. So I would say the biggest issue is a lack of patience.”

Let’s have a look at Online dating rules: tips for success in the digital age
Posted on
The rules of dating have changed. Unlike the pre-digital age when the biggest worry was whether a date would call or not, we now have to worry about what dirty laundry our prospective partners will uncover when they inevitably do some digital sleuthing into our online lives. And even once we land the partner and are in a relationship, there are a plethora of digital do’s and don’ts that we should all be aware of.
Today, I share three social media tips for when you’re in the early stages of dating someone, and three tips for when you’re in a relationship.
Before you send that new partner a friend request…
1. Don’t give out personal information too soon. With social media so deeply ingrained in our lives, it can be easy to forget that others can use our digital personas to uncover much deeper details of our lives – even down to our physical addresses. When you give someone access to your Facebook profile, you’re essentially givin

Here are 10 ways on how to catch out a catfish
Posted on
Catfishing is a type of deceptive activity where a person creates a sock puppet social networking presence, or fake identity on a social network account, for attention seeking, bullying or as a romance scam.
A “catfish” is someone pretending to be someone they are not on the internet. A catfish usually targets a victim or has someone they are pretending for. Usually people intend catfishing as a romance scam on dating websites or seeking online relationships.
People use fake profile pictures, names, and often genders. Catfishers create fake profiles to trick people into thinking they are someone else. Usually, the fabricated life displayed is the one they wish was their own, making it easy to act as if it is really them.
There are now catfishing shows that are produced to solve the mysteries of individuals online relationships. Victims tend to get suspicious when their online partner refuses to meet in person or via web cam.
