How to impress
Whatever dating site you choose, you need to think about how to properly attract your potential partner. If you decide not to publish your photo and not to reveal anything about yourself, then you probably won’t be successful. Let’s look at some tips on how to impress:
Photo
If you are looking for a partner, don’t be afraid to show your appearance in a photo. Either way, he will see you once, if he is interested, and a good photo can increase your chances of being interested. Let’s face it, if someone approached you without a photo, how much less likely is it that you will write back.
Profile
Many dating sites give you the opportunity to fill in your profile. By filling in basic information such as age, gender, interests or zodiac sign, it can help your potential partner in the initial contact and break the ice.
Personality
Each of us has a personality. Someone is temperamental and energetic, while others are calm and easy-going. Someone is a parquet lion, another is a bookworm. Don’t be afraid to show who you are, your potential partner will find out in time anyway.
First contact
Writing the first message may seem difficult, but sometimes it is enough to start with a simple “Hello, Tereza”. Whether you decide to be creative, use some clichés or just ask about interests “I see you ski, I’ve always wanted to learn”, it’s important to always be nice and polite.
Of course, when you receive a message from someone without a photo and with an empty profile that only contains “Hello”, the probability that they will reply is lower, that’s why the profile and photo are a good basis.
If your partner hasn’t written you back, there is definitely a reason for it. Reminding yourself is not a bad thing, but bombarding him with messages like “Are you here?”, “Didn’t you write back?” is no longer appropriate and may come across as harassment.
It is always true that you should communicate politely, openly and positively.
Finding common interests / Developing a conversation
Before you decide to propose to your partner, you should learn something about him. There is no one-size-fits-all guide to developing a conversation. Sometimes breaking the ice can be more difficult, other times it goes by itself.
One advice is to ask questions, the other is to ask developed questions. Show interest in the other person and ask questions. For example, “What impressed you the most on your last vacation?”, “What is your biggest dream or challenge that you have ever overcome?” or “Where did you grow up and what was your childhood like?”.
Remember that the conversation should be two-way and pleasant.
Arranging a meeting
If you and your partner continue to like each other and you have been writing for some time, it might be appropriate to meet in person. We will leave it up to you how to arrange a meeting. But remember to be safe. Meeting for the first time alone in the forest may not be ideal. The same applies to caves, abandoned buildings, secluded cottages or invitations to brick cellars. However, you should know this, we just remind you that the first meeting may not go as planned and the ideal place to meet a stranger is always in company.
However, this does not mean that you should come with your mother, brother or friends. Rather, we mean a place where there are other people, it is not dangerous at first glance and you can easily leave it in case of emergency.
Where to meet is up to you, but the ideal places are, for example, cafes, restaurants, galleries, museums or simple sports or social activities such as bowling or minigolf.
Other meetings may or may not follow, it depends only on you.
