subject: The Basics Of Online Dating Websites [print this page] Internet dating or online dating as some people like to call it has now become part of our current culture. I remember not long ago when only the brave would admit in that they have ever heard of online dating website let alone using one. These days however it has become such an acceptable part of our culture that people are prepared to quite openly admit that they met online.
So if you are one of those who are new to this futuristic way of meeting someone new and want to try it out for yourself, how do you go about it? Well there are numerous sites these days offering online dating services. They range from the free sites to the paid sites. However the purpose of this article is not to compare the various forms of internet dating site (I will write more on that at a later date) but rather to look at the process of using the sites and the best features to start out with.
Lets assume that you've found a site to use for your first experience of online dating either through recommendation or online search. How do you use the tools available on the sites to benefit most from what they offer? To start with any dating site that is technologically up to date will have an array of functions from simple search tools to video and audio facilities. My advice for any beginner will be to start with the tools that will help you start getting connected to people as soon as possible and then work your way up.
Your first task once you've found a site of your choice will be to register. This might sound obvious but it has to be done properly at the beginning for a whole lot of reasons one of which is that what you put in your profile will determine how people find you and the kind of people that are sent your way by the dating site search engines. Furthermore, given that you are going to be attracting the people that you want to hookup with based mostly on your profile, it is important that a little thought is given to what you are going to include in your profile right from the begining.
So what do you need for basic registration? Well, you need to think about a username, a password, an email address for your secure logging and contact. Next, you need to think of a nick name. In some sites your user name and nickname can be the same but in most other sites your username and nickname are different. The nickname is like the name with which you are known inside your chosen internet dating website so make sure it is something catchy, if you know what I mean. From here on it is simply a question of filling in the onscreen questionnaire. The nature and amount of details required in the questionnaire differs according to dating site. However common questions include date of birth, height, weight, smoking, drinking habits. One area that should be given some detailed attention is your description. A lot of people do not pay enough attention to how they describe themselves especially their outlook in life and particularly what they are looking for. However studies have shown that this area is one of the most fundamental parts of hooking up online and I will elaborate a bit more on this in future articles. In my next article on this subject, I will be elaborating on the basic functions you need in order to start making contact with people that you fancy once you get access into the dating site.
