Online Dating Tips

Let Lavalife Set You Up!

Many people think that online dating is an easy exercise in meeting people that is best left to luck and a friends recommendation (the proverbial date setup) instead.

First off, it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there, online, to seek friends, dates and someone special. Putting your emotions, wants, desires, likes and dislikes onto an open profile is hard thing to do, even for the well-polished writers.
For most of us, it’s attempt after attempt and edit after edit to get our headline and profile just right.

Secondly, if your friends were so good at setting you up, why all the bad dates that have happened because of them? Maybe they just don’t know you that well, right?

So don’t worry about the criticisms that have been sent your way, you’re doing a good thing, a hard thing and with a little “internet luck” your dating fortunes will start looking better very soon!

Tip #1: Read your profile as someone that doesn’t know you would read it, this will help you write with clarity and direction.

Tip #2: Pictures should be of you, waist up or head and shoulders only, without anyone else in the picture and definitely not with you doing anything goofy, unless the goofiness is explained in your profile.

Tip#3: Don’t be afraid to write to someone first instead of waiting for them to see you first. This isn’t a high-school dance, right?

So, Ready! Set! Go! Get a date online!
