Thanks To Online Dating, Single Parents Can Narrow Down Potential Matches While Still At Home With The Kids!
Posted on
Online Dating for Single Parents is something internet dating was invented for! While dating in the real world can be quite a challenge when you are a single parent, with online dating you can avoid all the bad experiences and dud dates, by narrowing down your potential matches to just those with real potential.
Of course, once you have whittled away the chaff, depending on the age of your children, you may need to organise a childminder, and of course you may need to be home at a certain time, your kids might not take kindly to you going on dates, and your kids probably don’t want you bringing new and ‘strange’ dates back to the home. Plus, your home may be small and things can get tricky.
So, how do you navigate online dating when you have children?
As in all cases, we think honesty is important. Of course each situation is different, but rather than avoiding telling your children anything, talk to them and keep communicati

What To Say and What NOT to Say When Opening an Online Dating Conversation on Internet Dating Sites
Posted on
Have you ever received a message from a potential match on an online dating site that has blown you away, but you are not sure how to open an online dating conversation with them? Or got a message that has made you delete the match as quickly as possible?
There is an art to having a good online dating conversation, and we are here to help you have a nice chat.
What not to say!
- Wassup?
- You have a beautiful smile.
- Great tits.
- Hello.
- Favorite drink?
Of course it depends what you are on the dating site for. If you are looking for a quick hook up, some of the above would probably be fine. But if you are looking for a more serious lasting relationship, try and be a little more serious, a little more witty, and a little more meaningful.
Ideas on what to say.
- Nice to meet you. I’m John, love to eat good food (plant based in particular) and appr

How to create the perfect online dating site profile to attract and find your perfect match
Posted on
It might appear to be a tiresome or boring formality, but an online dating profile is important. It sets the tone for how potential romantic matches see you and perceive you. By the way, there is no right or wrong profile pic for Internet Dating.
If you are a woman and your profile picture is in a skimpy bikini, you are going to be perceived as possibly flirtatious and sexy and probably get a corresponding response. If you are a woman wearing a business suit, sitting behind a desk, you are going to be perceived as serious and corporate, perhaps a bit more formal. If you are a guy and you are not wearing a shirt, you are giving out a certain message. If you are a man in front of a private jet, you are also giving out a certain message!
If you want to do the bikini thing, go for it. That may well be the image you want to put out there, and that is fine. Young people do totally different profile pics to older people. We would suggest though that you put a profile pi

When it’s finally time to go ahead and contact someone for the first time, what is the best approach? Consider the following guidelines while still adding your personal style.
Not too long. Not too short.

Our advice is to strike a happy medium. If you’re hoping for a reply, and that’s what it’s all about, we suggest at least 3 or 4 meaningful sentences, with a question or two to show interest.

- What do you like about their profile?
- Why do you think you’ll be a good match? (Our system shows what you have in common
