A lot of people still think that internet personals dating is only for people unable to get a date otherwise.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
It's been over ten years that the internet was born and online dating is still one of the most popular activities people are part of on the net.
There are literally millions of attractive, successful, normal people who visit dating sites daily.
Internet personals dating gives you the chance to meet someone who you may have otherwise never met.
You can now find out information about potential partners with little effort, time or risk.
Most people who participate in online dating these days are serious and are actually looking for a partner.
This first thing you'll do is pick a site.
I suggest reading up on the top sites in Google.
Once you have picked a site, you will need to create a profile that provides a clear picture of who you are and what you want.
A lot of people don't tell the truth on their profiles.
I'd recommend against that because although it may give you more initial contacts, in the end you'll have fewer successful matches.
Photos are always optional.
To be honest your chance of getting contacted without a photo is very low.
Many sites have been doing videos.
A video is now the preferred way to get a better view of the real person.
Most people are initially attracted by looks, you cannot judge a book by its cover.
Just like a good resume gets you into the job interview, presenting yourself in the best possible light can get you more dates.
