Online Dating Hacks

Dating can be rough for almost anyone. If you’re determined to find the right companion, it may take some time and effort, but the end result will be worth it. Utilizing the Internet to assist you with finding potential matches can help you save time, allow you to get to know someone before even meeting them in person, and allow you to connect with many people you normally would never have gotten the chance to meet otherwise. It can be hard to find someone that catches your eye just going to a bar or a club, but online dating makes it possible to branch out.

Utilize Reverse Image Search

The first thing anyone notices when browsing online dating profiles is the pictures. You’re going to want to know if you feel any type of attraction to this person, so pictures are important. If you’ve ever seen the show Catfish you know that some people use fake pictures and pretend it’s them in the pictures. One way to know for sure if they’re being honest with what they look like is to find people using their image with a reverse image search. If it turns out this person hasn’t been truthful with you, then you saved yourself the hassle of meeting them in person to find out they lied to you.

Avoid Giving Them Your Real Number

It’s never a good idea to give out your real phone number right away. You may want to talk to them outside of the dating website, but there are safer ways to do that. Using apps such as WhatsApp allows you to connect with them through texting, but they never see your real number. With texting apps, you can easily block a person if they’re bothering you. You can even change your WhatsApp ringtone to customize it and know when someone is trying to contact you on it.

Optimize Online Profile

To have the most success with online dating, you’ll have to spend some time on your profile. Make sure the pictures you choose are recent and include a body shot. It’s better to be upfront and honest than deceiving someone about your appearance; if you like them enough, they’re going to find out eventually what you really look like. Your profile should be brief and right to the point. Avoid including any drama in your profile, such as talking about your ex. Ask questions in your profile to make it more engaging. List your interests and ask them if they enjoy any of those things, too.

Don’t Settle for Less

If you’re having a string of bad luck with online dating, don’t settle because you’ll never be happy that way. Set requirements in your mind of what you expect your potential match to be like, but don’t be too strict with your requirements because you may never find someone that meets all of them. Be open-minded when engaging in conversation with them, but know when the person just doesn’t feel right. No one wants to hurt someone else’s feelings, but it’s better to let them know as soon as you feel like it’s not going to work out so you don’t lead them on.

Don’t Give Up

It can take a lot of time to find someone that you can see building a future with. Dating is something that involves a lot of trial and error. If something isn’t working for you, don’t be afraid to change things around to see if that helps you any. If you’re becoming frustrated with online dating, it’s okay to step away from it and take a break. You can always try it out again when the timing is right, just avoid giving up completely. You never know what hidden gems you’ll find.
