Its always a good idea, if possible, to post a variety of pictures to your Internet profile, some in casual dress, perhaps one in suit or maybe a picture showing you enjoying a hobby. These pictures will reflect the type of person you are, encouraging other members to contact you for a potential date.

Once you find someone you like, you'll have to send an initial email. These emails should be short, clever and, if you can, make it funny The moment you make a potential date, the better your chance of getting a date.
A great place to use humor is in the subject line. Your potential date is more likely to read your email if it catches their attention. You could try a humorous remark about something in his or her profile, but be sure that your humor isn't insulting -- instead of getting a date you may get yourself an online enemy. Also, refrain from commenting on their picture unless your remark is complimentary.

3.Once you get you potential date's phone number, be polite and respectful. respectful. Use light humor in your initial conversations to put them at ease.
4.It's not advisable to spend too much money on your first date, as it's really a "look-see" to find out if you find each other attractive in person. Some people may look great in their online photos but, face-to-face, you may not be attracted to them. Meeting for coffee is a good first date option, since you wont be expected to spend too much.
5.On the other hand, if your date does look as good in persona as they did in their picture, don't hesitate to compliment their looks. People enjoy hearing that they're attractive, and it will put them at ease.
6.Make sure you also check out the profiles of dating-site members without pictures accompanying their profiles. Many very attractive individuals dont post a picture, hoping to avoid getting a lot of e-mails from players. Justbe sure to get a pictures from them before you meet them for a date.
BONUS : How To Be Sure Your Personal Ad Gets Noticed
After much nail-biting and pacing, youve finally made the decision to join an online dating service. Now you face the seemingly monumental task of writing your personals ad. Sheesh, you say. How do I do thisespecially when the personals youve taken the time to read through are so, well, lets be honest, awful. All those abbreviations! All those long paragraphs! All the fluff that a over-sexed seventh-grade boy could see right through!
The trick to writing personals ads that get noticed are to be original and creative when it comes to writing yours. Think about it. Does a Volkswagen ad read like a Mercedes ad?
Of course not. Thats because though theyre both cars, they are completely different carsjust like two short, blonde women or two tall, brunette men. Other than sharing some physical characteristics and being the same sex, theyre going to be as different as a BMW and a Jeep.
So before you even start pecking away at the keyboard, think of yourself as a brand. This is easier for most people if they stick with the car metaphor. If you were a car, what kind would you be? If you consider yourself to be a Beemer, then your personals ad should be written to highlight your Beemer-ish characteristics. For example, youd want to include your love of fine white wines and Prada shoes.
On the other hand, if youre a Beemer wannabe (and dont feel bad, many of us are), dont give in to the impulse to describe yourself as Beemer. Not only does this set other people up for a disappointment when they find out you dont share their interests or meet their expectations, you may, worse, get stuck having to drink a lot of red wine at a cocktail party or theater when youd really, honestly prefer is cold beer, pizza and a movie.
After youve defined yourself as a brand and can describe yourself thoroughly, from your tires to your, er, headlights, youre ready to start writing that personals ad. Youve already done all the hard work, so the writing will be very easy. And you didnt think it would be, did you?
Some other things you want to keep in mind as you write your personals ad are:
Keep it positive. That is, unless you want to attract someone who reads Sylvia Plath poems for kicks. Which, hey, is no problem if thats your idea of a good time.
Be short and to the point. This isnt the place for your life history. Let that part come later.
While keeping it short, dont overdo the abbreviations. A few are fine, but too many are irritating.
Hit your high spots. If you have the sleek lines of a Jag, say so. If youre as trustworthy and loyal as a Toyota, speak up! Let your chrome wheels shine!
Voice your passions. Yep, if youre wild about 4-wheeling to the point youd rather than have mud on your tires than eat when youre hungry, dont be afraid to say so.
Creativity rules. Youre clever. Just that fact that youve found this marvelous way to meet people and find dates shows it! So you want to stay away from clichés in your writing, and think of new, fresh ways to describe yourself and your attributes. Saying youre loyal will most likely get a yeah, yeah, but say that when it comes to your friends, you stick like mud on tires, now that will have people eager to know more about you.
