5 things that will increase your chances of dating online

by Opinion • August 25, 2020 Leave a Comment

By Ann Smith

Do you still think that dating on the Internet is a dangerous and challenging game, reminiscent of Russian roulette? The data from the Pew Research Center is intended to reassure you. The number of people using dating apps is growing relentlessly. The percentage of people who are comfortable with online dating is also increasing. But! About a third of users admit that they did not dare to meet in reality with people they corresponded online.

Big Difference

The first meeting in reality and the first meeting online with mail order bride on https://ladadate.com/mail-order-brides are not the same things. You have some information about a person even before you meet them. Before the first date, you can read short information in the profile or send a few messages.

When you meet offline, you can also have information about a potential partner. For example, if you were brought together by friends. At the same time, you may not know anything about your new friend at all if you met, for example, in a bar.

 

How to Use the Marvel of Engineering?

Samir Chaudhry, M.D., an internist at the University of North Texas at Dallas, co-authored the 2015 BMJ evidence-based medicine article. He and his co-author reviewed nearly 4,000 studies in psychology, sociology, neurocognitive science, and other disciplines to develop a set of recommendations for creating a profile, choosing matches and approaching online communication.

1. Choose Apps Wisely

Be selective. There are apps for finding one-night stands. Others are designed to unite people of certain religious beliefs, who have similar interests, etc. Choose the apps that match your goals and what you are looking for in a partner.

2. Be Honest

Research says that we fall in love with people like us. Whether it is the experience of a relationship (the number and quality of relationships, the presence or absence of marriages, etc.), the desire (or unwillingness) to have children, favorite pets, or religion. The more honest you are, the more likely you are to find someone who really suits you.

3. Choose the Best Picture

In a picture, you should look the same as in real life. The person does not know you yet, and they will judge by your appearance. Researchers say that people are attracted to a genuine smile and a slight tilt of the head.

4. Brevity is the Soul of Wit

No one wants to read a huge six-paragraph essay. People quickly swipe right and left; they don’t have time for a long read. Specify the facts that reflect you as a person. People like interesting personalities. And write what kind of partner you are looking for. The ideal formula is 70% information about you and 30% about the desired partner.

5. Don’t Delay

Some aspects of the relationship are clarified only in real communication. Don’t postpone your date. Online communication should be short — no more than two weeks.

Listen to yourself. If online communication doesn’t bring you joy anymore, and you feel terrible, take a break.
