Online dating tips and advice

By Susan Soy

If you've decided to try online dating service here are some dating tips and advice that will help you get the best from your dating service membership.

• Sell yourself honestly- Give a truthful description, but don't forget to sell yourself.
  
  
• Find a flattering photo - Ask someone to help choose your best picture. Maybe get a friend to take some photo's just for online dating.
  
  
• Look for similarities - It may seem obvious, but try not to choose members whose politics, habits or ideas you don't like!
  
  
• Be safe - Use a disposable e-mail address and don't give away your phone number or home address. Make sure you meet somewhere public and consider taking a friend with you on the first date.
  
  
• Cast your net wide - Increase your chances by joining a few services and check out directories of dating services. Many allow you to join as a free member to get an idea of their network. Maximize your fun and success by being an ACTIVE member!
