More and more people turn to online dating in order to meet someone. A new study shows that people are more likely to log in through their dating applications or websites in the summer. The reason is that single people are more pressured to look for a Partner during the holidays where it is deemed to be romantic for couples.
Additionally, the constant stream of baby pictures and weddings from massive social media networking sites like Facebook and Instagram adds to the compulsion to get into relationships. The statisticsthat came from a well-known dating site say that their findings suggest it is a good idea to take advantage of the summer holidays.
Tips for Online Dating this Summer
Invest in Great Photos
In the world of online dating, having great photos will make you a stand out. Think of it as an investment. To get great returns, invest in having high-resolution images taken of yourself. Make sure your photos in your Profile are a mix of head and body shots to give prospects a chance to see you.
Your photos should also say a lot about your personality. Photos are a great way to showcase what you are into. So, if you’re a fan of a hobby like fishing, it would be wise to include those in your dating profile as well.
Be Straightforward
Lose the flowery words and be concise with what you aim to achieve. Know what you want in a partner and let that message be clear in your profile. If you’re looking for friendship, a relationship or looking to finally settle down with a true love partner, then say so.
Make sure to be consistent in your communication with romantic prospects online. It is a great way to tell interested parties from those who may not have the same aim as you.
Lose the Generic Intro Messages
With an improved dating profile, browsing through possible matches becomes the next step. Instead of copy-pasting hundreds of prospective partners with boring, cliché messages; consider taking the time to shortlist less than 5 people that you really like.
Instead of saying, “Hi. I like your photos, care to chat?” You can say something like, “I can’t believe you’re into muscle cars like me, you must tell me your top favorite engines.” In this way, you can ensure you are sending prospective love partners with personalized and high-quality messages that have higher chances of being replied to.
Now that you know all of these, head on over to your online dating profile and apply what you know. It’s not a sure guarantee that you’ll be together with the love of your life this year, but with the summer holidays, it is an improved step in the right direction.
