10 Top Tips for Good Online Dating
1. Use a photo and the best possible photo you can dig out, that photo you always think you look the hottest in. Research has shown that you are nearly 15 times more likely to be noticed if you post a photo to your profile.

2. Change your profile picture and message regularly, add photos to your photo album, and login regularly. Tell people about the good things happening in your life (new job, holidays etc) - it'll make you seem a positive person and make you even more attractive.

3. Be confident about who you are, be proud of why you are how you are, your likes and dislikes and what you're looking for. Be funny without being cheesy and if you're a serious type do it without being sour.

4. Be honest, it's an extremely attractive quality. If you're caught churning out white lies prospective partners will wonder whether you're truthful about anything. If you're asked "What do you do for a living?", be truthful but proud of what you do, explain why you do what you do and don't make excuses for the decisions you've made.

5. Take a proactive approach with online dating. Rather than focus on one person who you deem to be the right one for you, send messages to several people to help increase your chances of getting a response. Get a network of people with whom you have weekly contact, and develop relationships with them all - this will help you in the long term and you'll never find yourself without someone to talk to.

6. Be Interesting: Read the newspapers, watch the news, take things in. We thrive on current affairs, and having an opinion on the world you live will make you a more attractive and knowledgable person

7. Always be positive: If you take a hit get back up and wipe yourself down. Be playful, light-hearted and spontaneous. Show your vulnerability and flirt outrageously when appropriate

8. Start a Conversation: The best opening line is saying hello. Talk about the surroundings, ask a question, ask for help, or state an opinion.

9. Be Patient: The first person you have that spark may not be the right one for you. Be patient, enjoy flirting and meeting new people and don't worry - the right person will come.
