Be Honest

Start with being yourself.  Be honest in everything that you say.  Don’t lie or stretch the truth.  Just be real.  If you put up something fake it will come back to bite you and chances are it will not grab the attention of a guy who could be a good match for you.

Be Original

Don’t make a cookie cutter profile.  Men who are serious about finding a date will look for a profile that really stands out.  They want to find someone real and by making your profile original, you show that you are serious about online dating.  This will keep away the men who are just players because they will know you expect a real relationship.

Don’t Be Too Picky

You have to be aware that while it is fine to have values and to know what you want in a man, that if you come across as too picky you won’t attract men looking for something real.  Being too picky is a turn off.  So, express what you want, but don’t narrow down the field too much.

Your online profile should come across like you are a real woman looking for something real.  You want to give them enough information to peak their interest, but you also want to leave some room for them to ask questions so they can get to know you better.

Finding Good Online Dating Site

• Figure out what you want.  Some sites are just general while others have more specific themes.  For example, there are dating sites for specific cities and dating sites for people who are animal lovers.  Using a  niche site can help you find a specific type of guy, but if you don’t have a specific niche then a general site will work.

• Keep safety in mind.  Most dating sites have very strict policies and rules in place to ensure safety of members.  You want to be sure that the site is keeping you protected and keeping your personal information protected.  If you want to share more then that should be up to you.

• Look for helpful features.  Many sites understand that women often face stalking risks online, so they offer features like the ability to block users.  You want to have this option because you just never know when you will run across a guy who can’t take no for an answer.

• Look for a forum or chat room service.  There  is only so much you can learn through emails or profiles.  You want to be able to interact.  Look for a site that offers you those options

You have to be careful when choosing online dating sites.  Look for good features and make sure that the site has a good member database.  You want to find love, not just chat with people.  You need to be able to feel comfortable pursuing men through the site, so choose with care.
