How to find love online

Posted on Leave a comment

Is there a secret recipe to finding the right person, or is it really just down to luck?

With so many apps, profiles and photos to sift through, the task of online dating sometimes feels impossible. Is there a secret recipe to finding the right person, or is it really just down to luck? To find out, we turned to our very own success stories from Guardian Soulmates and asked long-term couples what advice they would give to singles hoping to find love online.

Don’t look for perfection
With online dating, it is easy to think the grass is always greener. One more date might just lead you to that flawless someone. But in striving for impossible perfection, we risk overlooking the potential in the people we meet.

Pete and Josie* met on Soulmates five years ago and were married in 2016. “There’s a tendency to just keep looking, and looking, and looking. Don’t look for perfection, it doesn’t happen,” says Pete. Not tha

Three signs your online dating match likes you

Posted on Leave a comment

It can be hard to tell whether someone you’ve been chatting to online is genuinely interested in you. Here are our tips for sorting the frank from the fickle.

Roughly seven million UK residents are currently using dating sites, according to a recent study of online dating services . Yet, only two thirds – 66% – of online daters say they have actually gone on a date with someone they’ve met through a dating site or app. So what’s stopping the other third from meeting up?

It could come down to the quality of conversation in the early stages of chatting online. Sometimes it’s hard to tell how genuine someone’s questions are, or how deep their interest lies. They say ‘hi’, you reply. But then it’s radio silence. So you reply again, “Hello?”, still nothing. Other times, you’ve been chatting away for weeks, but pinning down a date for that first big meet proves impossible. Sound familiar? Here are some tips for sorting the frank fr

Top dating tips & advice for women (by a man)

Posted on Leave a comment

Have you always wanted to figure out what is going on in a guy’s mind, in the first few weeks.

To women, we men can seem like a bit of an enigma. If you call us too often, you’re pushy. If you don’t call us enough, you’re cold. Figuring out what is going on in a guy’s mind in the first few weeks of dating would really help a woman feel more assured, knowing that she is in control of the situation. But exactly how do you find out without asking him outright and getting a look like you’ve just asked him to marry you? How can you turn an awkward first date with the man of your dreams into the relationship you’ve dreamed of? Here are a few tips to get you moving in the right direction.

Never empty your glass – You might be shaking like a leaf and nothing would settle your nerves more than to knock back the glass of wine on your table, but trust me, it’s not worth it. If you want to stay in control of the date and keep him interes

What to Say and Do When Women Criticize You

Posted on Leave a comment

Can you remember the last time a woman criticized you for something – or at any time for that matter?

How did it make you feel?

And perhaps more importantly, how did you find yourself reacting to the situation?

Did you become upset, insecure, and defensive and argumentative; then start trying to refute her criticism by denying, explaining, excusing or justifying yourself, your choices or your behavior, all in hopes of proving her wrong?

But have you ever stopped to consider what kind of an undesirable situation taking this approach puts you in?

Have you considered that by protesting and refuting a woman’s criticism, it places you in a position where you’re now answering to her, and now it’s completely up to her whether or not she accepts your counter-argument?

But who has the power here?

Is it you – or is it the woman?

In truth, are you now not nothing but a worm squirming on her hook?

How to flirt

Posted on Leave a comment

Now that you have tackled the issue of approaching women, I want you to take the interaction to the next level and really get the sparks flying!

And it is here that you really need to be sure of what you are doing, because flirting used successfully will tantalize and fascinate the women you meet, whereas flirting done badly will irritate and annoy them.

I am going to share with you the key to playing the flirting game effectively, and the way to really make it work for you. Flirting is fun, and quite often only happens at the start of a relationship, which is a shame. Long-married couples know how to keep flirting alive.

The fun in flirting disappears when you take it seriously. Flirting isn’t about setting the stage for romance, or roping in a woman. It’s an extension of the teasing games you used to play when you were a child. When two adults flirt, flirting acts as an icebreaker to test the chemistry and create a rapport between

Getting your shy girl to open up

Posted on Leave a comment

In most cases, women love to communicate with their friends. They are often the ones to start conversations or talk to you until they’re blue in the face.

But has this ever happened to you? You’re out on a date and stuck staring at each other across a table—or when you’re at a bar looking everywhere but at one another because you don’t know what to say—and you find that your girl’s motormouth seems to have dried up completely. Worst of all, you can’t think of anything to say, either. What do you do?

If the girl you’re interested in is shy, you may find it almost impossible to connect, especially if you’re not that great at communicating yourself. It’s going to be up to you to draw her out of her shell.

Everyone can understand the roots of shyness, because most people have passed through a shy point in their lives themselves. Shy girls are often very unsure of themselves in social situatio

You may want to know how many dates does it take to know if there’s real potential?

Posted on Leave a comment

Let’s get right to it: After two or three dates, you should honestly know if the person you’ve met is someone you should keep dating. Too often, a mistake men and women make early in dating is overthinking things. By date two or three, you won’t know if this person could be your lifelong partner.

But after two or three dates, you will know if this is a person you inherently feel comfortable with. By two or three dates, you will know whether this person is someone you have a natural fit with, and that natural fit is the must-have foundation of any good, lasting relationship.
