If you want to perfect your dating techniques, you need to get some practice. Online dating services are a great way to meet women online for this purpose. With online dating, you can weed out the women you aren't interested in, and rejection is a lot less awkward than it is in real life. Just remember, there are a lot of guys out there in the same boat as you. What will set you apart from them is your online profile.
Your profile is your chance to make a first impression with potential dates online, so you need to take care to do it right. If you blow it, you will find yourself asking why you aren't getting any responses. Writing a profile is actually an art form, and it is actually pretty simple when you get down to it.
Knowing what to avoid is as important as knowing what to include. These common mistakes will generate a complete lack of interest. Making a big show of being a "nice guy" is a huge bore, because you will end up sounding like everyone else. Including too many personal details is also a losing tactic. Posting a picture that is poorly lit, old, or completely unflattering is not going to do you any favors. If you do the above, you will find yourself wondering why no one is responding to you.
So, now that you know how to do it wrong, you must be wondering how to do it right. It's simple. The first rule of thumb is to make yourself look confident, not desperate. You should appear masculine, funny, and date-worthy.
In his book, "Double Your Dating," David Deangelo refers to a type of humor he calls "cocky-funny". This technique works online and in real life. Try it and see. You need to make a girl feel like you are something special by keeping her on her toes a bit. Maybe you say, "Hot stud seeking supermodel to feed me peeled grapes." Knock them off balance by saying something unexpected and humorous.
Rule number two: don't ramble on and on. Leave them wanting more, not less. Make them guess a little bit, instead of laying it all out there. Women love a little mystery, and if you make them wonder instead of telling them straight away, it will drive them crazy.
And back to that profile photo: make it stand out. Know your best feature, and play it up. If you have a great smile, use it. If your eyes are your best feature, be sure to use a picture that shows them off. Don't use a picture of yourself with other girls, or in a setting that makes you look lame or boring (with your cat or in your office). Bonus points for showing off exotic places or exciting hobbies in the background.
Just remember these three tips: use humor to draw women in, keep it brief, and seal the deal with a picture that sells the image you want to get across. You can't go wrong if you follow this advice.
