1) It's a Numbers Game, so Play the Numbers.
Don't get on one site, get on all dating sites. The reason online dating is so much more powerful than any other forms of dating is because you can get your face in front of thousands of potential partners instead of a few here or there at parties, bars, etc. Unlike the real world, you can have your profile posted on all sites at the same time which just means that you are in many places at once. Doesn't it sounds more likely that you will find someone by posting a profile for thousands of potential singles to see rather than one or two people here or there that may or may not be looking for a date! By signing up to online dating sites and not sending a single email, you have a 100% greater chance to meet singles and hookup on a date than if you never created a profile (because people can and will still contact you). It's just that simple so if you are in the singles market, play the numbers game and post on several sites.
2) Don't Chase
After sending an email to someone on an online dating site, don't continue to send emails if they don't reply. It is true that there are a lot of stalker personalities online. Most experienced online daters know this personality type and will run if you show any signs of stalking. First off, make sure that the dating sites you use allow you to see your sent messages. If your message to a particular user is listed in the sent folder, then you can be rest assured that you have done your part and there is no reason for you to continue emailing them until you receive a response. After sending, wait and continue searching for new and other potential mates.
3) Post Quality Pictures
Posting Quality pictures is the most fundamental way for getting a Quality Response. If your pictures look like they were taken with a 1970s Polaroid camera, then you will attract people of that generation or people that could be a bit outdated themselves. If that's what you are looking for, then by all means post such a picture. If, however, you want to attract the best possible mate, then post a damn good picture(s).
4) Act As If You Are Meeting The Person
Just because you're behind a computer doesn't mean that you can say things that you normally wouldn't!!!! Be yourself, but be weary that you may eventually meet the person you are talking to. This brings consistency because when you do decide to meet in person, you will seem exactly the same as the way you talked online. Very important!!!
5) Meet In Person Right Away
The only way for you to make sure the other person is consistent with whom they claim to be and describe themself as being online, is to meet them. You should be meeting people offline within a couple of weeks of talking to them online.
6) Don't Be Too Public
There are some things that are ok to share online and there are other things that are best kept to sharing in person. You don't want the entire world knowing the things you share on facebook. Facebook is for family and friends, but dating sites are for strangers to meet. Realize this and abide by it.
7) Ask Questions?
People love talking about themselves, so ask them questions on your profile and in emails. Don't act as you want to stalk them, but be interested in them. The more you allow people to talk about themselves, the more you will learn about them and the more they will share. If you ask questions in your profile, you are guaranteed to get a 50% increase in emails.
