How to Get Responses to Your Online Dating Ad
Saturday, September 27th, 2008Ayesha Khakwani asked:
For many people finding the person they want to settle down with is their ultimate goal. Of course, that means that you will have to date. If you have decided to place a personal ad on one of the online dating services, how can you be assured of getting a good amount of response?
Remember that everyone who is placing these ads are trying to do the same thing you are. You will have some competition from other would be suitors and you will need to find a way to make your ad stand out. If you don’t get very many responses the first time you place an ad, don’t give up. Your ad might just need a few tweaks to get the responses you are after.
Your descriptive skills need to be worked on. Learn how to describe yourself honestly and accurately. But you should be able to do it with some flair and humor. Don’t be afraid to use a little humor in your ad. It shows that you don’t take yourself too seriously and are a fun person to be around. Make sure that your ad is truthful about the things that you do and do not like. It lets the reader know that you know what you are looking for and take the search seriously.
Don’t go on and on about your dating failures. There is nothing worse than reading a personal ad that is filled with the deceptions and pain that this person has gone through. While the pain and failure might be very true it is a sure sign that you are not ready for dating. If you find that you are not ready for dating then maybe you should put off your dating ad for now. Wait until you heal enough to write an ad without mentioning your other relationships. Of course, it’s okay to mention a thing or two about dating in the world today if you can do it with a little humor. The other person is most likely experiencing the same things you are and would probably appreciate your humorous outlook on it.
Don’t give up on your online dating ad if it generates little response. Keep plugging away until you write the ad that gets the attention. It might be a case of trial and error. Keep track of the things that you have tried that have not worked and make sure you try a new approach the next time. You will eventually hit the target and get the attention of many respondents.
