How to Unlock the Internet Dating’s Secrets

If you’re going to succeed at online dating, you have to recognize that it’s different from traditional dating. So, what’s the secret to Internet
dating? In order to succeed, remember to use the Internet as a way to gain insight into the available and appropriate singles. Remember
that a dating site is much more than a directory of available singles; it’s a means to get into the prospect’s character and personality by
virtue of an ongoing exchange that takes place before you meet! And that’s why Internet dating is traditional dating turned on its head.
When you finally do meet your prospect in person, you aren’t strangers. The date is with someone who is a suitable match with
respect to age, values, and future goals. The date feels like a reunion and proceeds at a much more advanced level.

Therefore, to succeed at Internet dating, you must

  • Have a good sense of who you are
  • Have a good sense of what you’re looking for in a date/mate
  • Have a reliable way to get online, surf the Web, send and receive e-mail, and maybe even take part in online chats
  • Read the prospects’ profiles carefully (for example, looking past the photos) and try to find nuggets of information about the prospects that make them suitable
  • Engage in e-mail exchanges with prospects to ferret out additional information that can tell you if your prospects are a reasonable match
  • If you discover you’re not a match, you can disengage quickly, and move on with minimal discomfort.

Internet dating is way more convenient than traditional dating


When was the last time you prospected for dates in your nightshirt at 3 a.m.? The whole concept of virtual dating is that the community of single prospects is available to you whenever you want to meet them. For people with day jobs, children, and other social obligations, prospecting online at odd hours is the only way to go.Not only can you log on at odd hours, but you also can log on for short amounts of time. In our example of the party, you have to dress up and commit to several hours of socializing with the possibility of not even meeting one age-appropriate single. You know who is age appropriate online, and you can initiate contact in ten minutes and log off. Then log on again later or the next day and see if you got a response.

With virtual dating, singles enjoy fun interaction, great conversation, romantic scenery, get-to-know-you games and wonderful music. They chat, laugh, and build common experiences, all while on a virtual date. Members of OmniDate often share with us how much they enjoy the virtual dating experience. Now dating sites across the US, UK, and Ireland are integrating OmniDate's virtual dating technology into their sites too. (btw, if your favourite dating site does not yet offer virtual dating, ask them to contact OmniDate.)

Women Want Romance; Men - Numbers

The difference between men and women was clearly evident last week at the annual online dating conference,
IDate, in Miami.
The final session of the iDate conference typically involves a debate. This year’s debate was moderated by Mark Brooks. On the panel: Martin (Make Friends Online), Ravit (of our own Omnidate), Sam (Christian Cafe), Markus (Plenty of Fish), Dan (Speeddate.com) and Michael (Online Booty Call).
In the middle of the discussion on conversion rates, CPM, and other numbers, a woman in the audience asked: “Dating is not all about numbers, it’s also about romance. What are dating sites doing to facilitate romance?” (To which Dave Evans, who happened to be sitting just a few seats over, instantly reacted with a joke: “Romance? You must be new here.”)
Ravit shared her female perspective on how a dating site can facilitate romantic interaction online, which would create a woman-friendly environment. Her comments generated two rounds of energetic applause from the women in the audience. Several panelists (Martin, Sam) also agreed that more can be done to create a fun type of interaction to facilitate online romance.
But not all men wanted to talk about romance or building women-friendly sites. One site operator at the back of the hall angrily demanded that the discussion be returned to conversion rates and CPM.
Ironically, many of the sessions throughout this year’s conference dealt with the issue of making dating sites female friendly … go figure.
