Online dating has become an integral part of singles scouring the internet these days. These singles keep looking for the best online matches to succeed in their dating quest and they keep hovering from one free dating sites to another. Although there is nothing wrong in doing this, the real problem starts when even after trying several dating sites they are still single and they pin the blame on dating sites for not making it happen. Well in rare cases this maybe true, but after screening thousand of profiles and spotting messaging trends Mayur Vyas, Content Manager of Jumpdates.com found that majority of online singles do not fill 20% of their information in their online dating profile. It’s like trying to make a jet fly without any jet fuel. An impossible task!

Take a step back and think about relationships between a man and a woman. It’s impossible for a relationship to succeed if both of the people within the relationship do not try to understand each other and work things out. It is an ever unfolding relationship between two persons that bonds them together. In the same token, the lack of information that one presents oneself on their dating profile, will lead to people skipping over the profile no matter how attractive you may look.

There are common errors that online singles make from the word go that results in the downfall of their important dating mission.

1. Not filling the complete information while creating the online dating profile

This is the most common mistake made by online singles. You need to make sure that your online dating profile speaks for you. Profiles with limited or incomplete information send a negative message about yourself, either you do not have any thing to say or you do not want to disclose information that may speak badly about yourself. Why would someone be interested in a profile which just have the basic info of age and photo?

2. When online singles become broadcasters

Yes, it’s true. It has been observed that singles tend to send a series of similar messages to almost every profile they like. According to them it saves them time and they can reach many online singles. But, unfortunately they don’t understand that every profile is different from one another and sending customized messages could earn more replies in the long run.

3. Don’t be a spammer

Messages like
“Hello, I am James Joe am 57 years old hope you don’t mind my age is just a number i have one friend, his name is Fred he just get me through this online dating right now i am here looking for a long term relationship that can lead to marriage and i will have the woman as my soul mate then i read your profile and i am interested in it”.

This may sound fine but if you analyze the world “Hello” at the beginning, it can raise questions like is it only me that he is referring to? As this appears to be a generalized message and makes other users feel that they could be one of many the gent has sent the message to. It makes you feel less important in the eyes of the messenger.

4. Don’t Wait, Make your Own Success Story

Waiting for other online singles to find you and send you the introduction message is never going to work if every think like this. It could be a never ending wait. If you are serious then you should give enough time to your online profile every week for finding the best match for you and sending messages according to their profiles. Sending personalize messages increases your chances of getting replies more often. A good tip is say to yourself that you will go through 10 online dating profiles each day or a week and send out 20 messages averaging 2 to each profile. Remember that bigger things can happen by taking smaller steps.
