Too many to choose from?

July 5th, 2008 · No Comments

So, you finally took the plunge and signed up for one of these online dating sites hoping to find someone special. You even filled out your profiles and added your best picture. You’ve defined your criteria for what type of person you are looking for, and you hit your search button and wow. There are several hundred matches. Now what. Where do I start? Do I start with the first person on the list?

If you have too many search results to choose from, the first thing you might want to do is narrow down some of your search criteria. For example, if you are not a smoker, make sure the person you are looking for is not a smoker. If you are not a social drinker, make sure the person you are looking for also enjoys alcohol once in a while. You get the idea. Once you’ve narrowed the search down to something more manageable to under 100 or so, you can start looking at each profiles more carefully.

You are not a vain person for wanting to see what the other person looks like so take a look at all the pictures they’ve posted. Of course, you don’t want to only judge your potential mate just on looks but you’ll agree it’s a place to start. Once you’ve browsed through and found the person you might be interested in, start reading their profiles and mini bio to see if there is anything that intrigue you. It might be some unique hobby that you both have in common. It might be the line of work, it might be the area you both live in, etc.

Depending how serious you are about the internet dating, you may want to start slow with sending out one or two messages to your narrowed down prospects. Or, you can also use the shot gun approach and send out as many as you can and hope someone responds back to you.
