The first and may be the most important question 1. Are the single's ads safe? Yes, with a little common sense. There are several layers of protection. First, advertisers and respondents are anonymous. Last names, phone numbers and addresses need only be exchanged when both participants feel comfortable doing so. Okay, if you are ready to join the dating community, to avoid some misunderstandings and mistakes just follow a few simple steps and everything will be fine and fun :) 2. What Do You Want from a Date? Just as important in knowing how to win a date is knowing just exactly what it is that you want from a date. Is dating for you a prelude to marriage? Or maybe you view dating simply as an enjoyable way to spend an evening. You might even wish to remain single-at least for the foreseeable future. Some people feel that the purpose of dating is merely to win sexual gratification, a belief that is incorrect, but nevertheless, widespread. It is possible for a man and a woman to enjoy each other's company without considering either sexual relations or marriage, but in this case their relationship will eventually be termed a "friendship" rather than a "romance." In any event, it is important that you have a clear idea of where you stand on all of these issues before you begin dating. Choosing as dates those who have compatible goals and desires can save the two of you much misunderstanding and disappointment later on. So make up you mind what exactly you are looking for and state it clearly on your profile. 3. Place your Ad Composing your ad is important. Most readers would like to know as much about you as possible before emailing. Filling the profile form, include such things as age, race, height, weight, smoking preference, education, hobbies, occupation, interests, children, and so on. That'is why LL askes to keep full profiles on the site, where all those fields are a must. Let others know who you are and avoid useless contacts. Most people would also like to know a little about your appearance. Be honest. If you paint a false picture, people will know it the minute they see you and this will not get your relationship off to a good start. Even potential negatives can become positives, however, with the right wording. Your Desired Partner describtion. It is also important to be fair in describing the type of person you'd like to meet. Age or age range is a must if you want replies. It is best to mention only those characteristics that you consider essential. A long list of restrictive criteria can be a real turn-off and imply that you are judgmental or demanding. Be sure to mention interests and pastimes of yours in your ad. This adds a good deal of interest and personal flavor. If you mention that you enjoy scuba diving and the other person happens to as well, you increase your chances dramatically of getting a message from that person. Remember that using the personals is by an large a "numbers" game and if you play it long enough, the law of averages will eventually work in your favor. Perseverance and persistence pay off. Even if you don't get the desired results at first, continue to advertise and respond to others. Also, it may be necessary to meet several people before you find one that you want to continue to date. If you don't "click" with one person, simply move on to the next. And remember that there is no rule that says you can't date more than one person at a time, at least at first. Most of all, remember that playing the personals game should be fun, and it is good practice at meeting people as well. 4.Respond to an Ad You respond to a personal ad on LuckyLovers Dating club by email or using Private Talk or WebCam. E-mail - You may choose a message from the list of fixed messages or write your own letter. Taking time with this is important; if your message is well-composed, it can make you stand out from the crowd. Keep the letter to a few paragraphs; more than that will be wearing, and less will not be enough to allow the reader to get to know you. A "snail-mailed" letter, if you have an address, can add a pleasingly unique and personal touch in this age of electronic communication. Needless to say, the letter should be handwritten, not photocopied, and on quality writing paper. Remember, this is a sales letter in a sense. Give the reader enough interesting information to create a desire to meet you. Responding by phone can be quicker, however. Whether you respond by phone or by email, increase your response rate by mentioning what has attracted you. People like to know why you selected their ad above all others. Back |
