Online Dating Tips
Speculate to accumulate
It’s ok to window shop for a while at first, but you need to talk to people to get dates.
You had me at Hello
There are plenty of other online daters out there so you need to make yourself stand out and accentuate your individuality – whatever that is. Try looking at your profile with fresh eyes a couple of days after you first write it and then edit it again. You could even go one step further and ask friends to help you write it. It’s a good way of breaking the (I’m too embarrassed to tell them) ice too and you can turn it round into something you have a laugh about together.
Shyness is nice but shyness can stop you
The beauty of this place is it’s not like the real world. You don’t need five glasses of wine and a kick up the backside from a friend to go over and say hello to someone. It’s easy, and the more effort you make then the more likely you are to end up on a date or three.
Don’t insult our intelligence
You know us Londoners we are pretty savvy customers. If you are going for a cheaty high volume approach then people will pick up on it. It’s better to speak to five people properly than fifty people without meaning it. (I speak from experience here.)
Let the dog see the rabbit
Put a picture or two on your profile if you can. (Clean ones please.) Profiles with pictures get loads more responses and replies on this and every other dating website.
Dates are like buses
So be patient. Sometimes you have to wait for ages, sometimes three come along at once and sometimes you get on the wrong one. Don’t rush on board expecting to get to your destination immediately. Have some fun and enjoy the ride, and remember that the journey is as important as the arrival.
Safety Tips
No doubt you’ll end up lunching with a lovely London lad or lass, but if you’re at all concerned about the safety aspect then follow a few simple rules:
Tell a friend where you’re going and maybe ask them to give you a call ten minutes into the date to make sure all is well. As long as you don’t then spend ten minutes in the loo talking to them about how sexy your date is.
Ask for the home phone number of the person who you are planning to meet (tends to prove they are single that too).
Add them on Facebook or MySpace or some clever social networky thing like that. Then you know who their chums are too.
Meet in a neutral busy public place. Good excuse for going to the pub then really.
If things get kinda intimate, you don’t need to go home with them on the first date. Control your wanton impulses (if you possibly can) and wait a few dates more to make sure they are as lovely as you think. |
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Is Membership?
Anyone aged 18 and over can join London Love Life and it's 100% free of charge. You can then create a profile and browse the site for other Londoners to chat to and make dates with.
Why Should I Join This Site And Not The Others?
London Love Life is aimed for Londoners over 18 looking for a date. The site isn’t aimed at any age group, race, sexuality or social group, so come on in whoever you are. We are dedicated to getting Londoners loved up.
A lot of the sites you’ll see out there that advertise in particular cities are deceptive. They are flogged to people all over the place, and when you join you are stuck onto broader databases that don’t necessarily reflect your local area. This site is unique in that it is for London and London only so you will only meet people who are looking for dates in London here.
Does Online Dating Work?
We all lead busy lives and it’s not always easy to meet new people in London. Literally thousands of Londoners are now using online dating to meet people and if it didn’t work they wouldn’t do it. The site is FREE anyway, so why not give it a go.
What If I Don’t Live In London?
You can still join the site. Bear in mind though the majority of people on this site will be London based so if you don’t live in London you will probably need to work here or at least be able to travel here easily to meet up for dates. This is London Love Life after all.
Can I Invite My Friends?
Well you might as well all have a go and chat to each other about your experiences. So if you get a friend to take out a membership subscription to London Love Life then we will offer you your next month’s subscription for a fiver.
