Don't Get Dates. Get the Right Dates.

In some ways, connecting with a long-term partner has been simpler than it is today. With the hundreds of qualified dating and singles sites on the internet today, it stands to reason that your chances of finding the right partner have also improved. But why has finding the right person become so much more difficult? Perhaps it has something to do with the quality of selection. Here are some tips that might help you cut through all of the fat and get right to the meat.

For starters, remember to be picky. In the "old days," you had to go out and find someone. Imagine how difficult that might have been. Today, we can sit at our computer and browse profiles, many of them with photos. So, be selective and use this to your advantage. After all, most sites offer free trial periods. During this period, find as many good, qualified matches as possible and write down their particulars. Don't bookmark them, don't contact them right away. Just put together a solid list, as long a list as possible before that trial period expires.

Next, after you've put together a decent list, you'll review each candidate and contact them. In a lot instances, you cannot contact other members without a paid membership. If your trial period has already ended, then opt for the shortest-term plan available. This might cost a little more, but you shouldn't need the membership for long since among that long list, your perfect match awaits and paying for a cheaper, longer-term plan will only resulted in wasted money down the road. The day you sign up for your paid membership, contact all of your candidates. Personalize your correspondence by incorporating their interests and showing how they align with your own (try doing this without sounding crazy or cheesy).

The other strategy also involves taking advantage of the free trial period but involves posting a photograph and a great personal ad and letting them come to you. Since a lot of sites allow you to post your profile for free, you can sit and wait until a good backlog of courters have filled your inbox. And only then should you opt to pull our your credit card to sign up for a paid membership. The key here is to attract as many qualified matches as possible.

A natural question is how to write effective ad copy for your personal ad. Yes, "ad copy." You are selling yourself the same way marketers write ads to sell their company's products. The only difference is that you are selling the most precious product out there -- yourself and, in some cases, your heart. So don't be shy; step outside the box when writing your ad (this means avoid sounding like all of the other posted ads). Make yours shine by using high energy and humor. Oh, and don't forget to post photos! This will increase responses seven-to-eight times!

Regardless of your approach, make sure you represent yourself honestly. This will only save you problems down the road especially if you are able to connect with someone who could end up being a long-term partner.
