When Online Dating Starts Feeling Hopeless

Take a break

Checking your dating profile day after day only increases your frustration, not to mention it’s a constant reminder that you are still single. Excuse yourself from logging in for a week (don’t worry, you’ll still receive email notifications if something important happens), and spend some time to yourself. Go out, try a new hobby, meet with a friend, watch a new series on Netflix, go on a shopping spree, anything. The goal is to free your mind from the constant worries and doubts. And when you return from your makeshift holiday, you’ll be a new person full of positive energy.

Rejuvenate your profile

The devil’s in the detail and a convincing dating profile wins half the battle for you. Be sure to stay on top of the trends. There are countless articles discussing the ins and outs of a magnetic dating profile. The main image is your front line fighter so why don’t you visit a photo studio and do a professional photo shoot just for this purpose? If you struggle to come up with the right words to describe yourself, there are writers who specialize in writing enticing introductions for others. Speaking of experts, date coaches and dating agencies offer competent training and advice for those who are unsuccessful at building virtual relationships.

Move on… to a new site

Your low success ratio might be credited to the dating site you are currently using. Low subscription fees aren’t the only factor to be taken into consideration. Larger, more popular dating sites might charge a higher fee, but they boast more features and more members. And the bigger the pool of fish, the bigger your chance of catching one. Of course, the opposite can be true as well. An overly generic site may offer a diversified crowd of people, which reduces the chances you meet someone with the same values and interests. There are specialized dating sites, too, targeting a specific audience. Seniors, Christians, Jews, different ethnicities, intellectuals and rich people all have a dating platform to suit them. Opting for one of them means that you’ll be dating in a more intimate atmosphere.
