The Internet gives us a great opportunity to expand our social circle without leaving home. Is it possible to meet your future wife or future husband on a dating site? Of course!
First of all, think about who you would like to see next. The worldwide network covers a large area. Here you have a chance to meet a person with even the most exotic parameters. But the more "points", the more difficult is the work of fate. Make a big list of what you want from a man (woman). Personality traits, appearance, profession, hobbies, presence or absence of bad habits and "baggage" in the form of former spouses and children. Describe anything that matters to you.
When your fantasy runs out, get down to prioritizing. What is really important to you, and what are you willing to sacrifice in the presence of other advantages. Circle the most important qualities of a future spouse and do not forget to “try on” life with such a person. Let's say you are not averse to marrying an actor or millionaire, but are you ready for frequent business trips or a sharp change in financial situation? Everything has its pros and cons. Such a useful list will come in handy not only for searching on the site, but in real life. It is like a filter through which you see the people around you, your potential partners. The presence of disadvantages that are unacceptable to you immediately catches your eye, but the advantages become more noticeable.
The next step is choosing a site. Pay attention to paid sites. They are good because the very existence of payment weeds out adolescents and many people who just want to fool around. Although, of course, this does not give a 100% guarantee. Next, pay attention to the privacy system (who sees your name, photo and personal data), the availability of a detailed questionnaire and automatic selection of suitable partners, as well as territorial coverage. If you want to marry a foreigner, it is better to choose an international dating site.
Fill out the questionnaires, take psychological tests, if available on the site. Don't write too much about yourself, but be sure to mention the most important things so that "your" person has something to cling to. Someone will notice and appreciate similar musical preferences, someone has the same hobby, and for the third it is important to have a second higher education. If you smoke, don't hide it. Also, do not hide the fact that you are divorced and have children. Sooner or later, this information will be revealed. It will be a shame if this becomes the reason for the breakup.
Choose a good photo. Both men and women are better off choosing a simple photo without Photoshop and professional makeup. In the pictures you have to be like your real self, and not like a star from the TV screen. Of course, you have to look attractive on it, but too pretty pictures sometimes scare away applicants. Do not put too old or explicit pictures. A photo in which you are only in your underwear is unlikely to attract serious partners.
Pay attention to the first message that is sent to you. Don't waste time with those who are not credible. If you are immediately offered an intimate relationship, do not get involved in correspondence, but blacklist it.
Unfortunately, there are many mentally ill people and ordinary adventurers on the Internet. You will have to listen to your own intuition. For security reasons, do not give your home address and phone number. Make your first meetings in crowded places. Before meeting in person, try adding the hand and heart challenger as a friend on social networks. You can get more information about him by looking at his page, see more photos and a list of friends.
If correspondence with a new acquaintance or with a new acquaintance gives you a pleasure, you feel mutual sympathy, then you should not delay the meeting. When you communicate online for a long time, you run the risk of coming up with a non-existent image and disappointment seeing you live.
Of course, the first date is a very exciting experience. But try to be calm and natural. If you posted your photo and didn't lie about your height and weight, 90% of your success is in your pocket.
