You've been happily single but now want to head to dating or enter a relationship. However, you lead an active lifestyle, and bars / clubs aren't the places you need to meet someone. Go into the idea of online dating which has now become socially acceptable.
It had been only a few years ago the stigma around dating sites was enough to put you off joining a website or you were participating, you'd to keep it hush hush, which I may add, I did!
Nowadays, there are so many dating agencies around that you could have your pick of the crop. Incidents where serving specific needs such as for age groups to ethnic preferences.
Where do you start? Shop around as the saying goes. In addition to locating a site that you like the look of, think about the subscription rules. Many require a membership fee which some might say sorts out the men in the boys. Certain sites require a joining fee which can vary from anything to just a week, (good taster for starters!), a monthly payment to some longer 6 months.
Think about the seriousness of this, as realistically, do you think you'll find that special someone in a month of joining? To savor its full potential, I would consider standing on a dating site for at least 3 months.
Trawling through the many dating sites out there, you pick one & join.Ok now what would you write about yourself? Don't be scared of creating your profile. Consider this as self marketing. Get the closest friend to appear it over even. There's a well-known UK dating site that asks your pals to create your profile for you. Make it funny, interesting but many of all, HONEST. Be truthful: with what you really like doing. It's no point listing your hobbies as skiing if you can't stand heights.
Be Honest: in your appearance. You're only setting yourself up for an uncomfortable situation whenever you meet your date, who's expecting a tall, slim blonde when you're actually curvy, mousey haired and only 5'2.
Be truthful: in what You are searching for. If you want a relationship, state it. Would you like to meet somebody that is just interested in NSA ( no strings attached ) when you are searching for a partner. Waste of a date in my experience!
Upload a current picture or pictures of yourself. A few months old is OK, not really a couple of years. You might not think you have not changed much but I beg to differ. Find one that you're smiling in if you can. You're more prone to attract visitors to your profile when you're looking happy and positive, nothing like you simply got out of bed! No sunglasses either.
So there you have it. Simple guidelines to follow along with. Trust your instincts when finding someone the very first time. Don't allow yourself feel uncomfortable in a situation but many of all, have a great time.
