SUCCESSFUL DATING PROFILES FOR MEETINGS

How do you get to a meeting? To a second meeting? You may be interested in different things from different people. One of the biggest complaints about dating sites is that you never meet anybody. SUCCESSFUL PROFILES You don't want to say too little nor too much. First there's too little. One man wanted to know if anybody was real because nobody replied. I looked at his profile. Every answer was 'prefer not to say' or 'tell you later'. A woman reading his profile would be asking herself, is he real? He did not have a single conversation opener. Nothing to make you say, 'He sounds interesting!' Nothing to make you remember him after scanning sixty profiles. Say something about your job and why you like it, or what you would like to do. And something about your leisure activities. Especially those for a first date. On the other hand, you can be in danger of saying too much. A successful women can get emails from introverts who say, in effect, 'You sound too educated for me,' or, 'You sound too bossy,' or, simply, 'I'm scared to meet you.' I think - what sort of man is he? He sees an interesting woman and writes to her that he is scared to meet. He has no confidence. No PR. He is warning her that he may never be courageous enough to meet, so she risks wasting time writing. Some men write aggressive emails. "You sound horrible." (So why did he bother to write?) Or challenging emails. Such as, 'Are you a gold-digger? Or, ''Why would a rich man like me want to meet you? Compliments should address the person. Not 'I love your picture' without saying anything about it. Nor 'I love your profile' without saying anything about it. You can pick anything: I love the hat. I like beards. Or a question, 'Where was that photo taken?' You should sound happy with the other person and willing to meet. What could stop you meeting or go wrong when you meet? Sometimes you click with somebody on the page. You manage to exchange phone numbers. I think the man should give his out first. It reassures the woman. And he should phone her. You are then on your way to a meeting. You are meeting on the phone.
