Online Dating Red Flags

Online Dating Red Flags Cover
Top 10 online dating red flagsDating in general is not easy; so tons of men and women have opted to go the online dating route. But here's a newsflash: Online dating is not easy, either.

If you want to make sure that you meet the right person when you're on an online dating site, here are the things you need to avoid if you don't want to be red-flagged.

ONLINE DATING RED FLAGS #10

THE FORM RESPONSE


When you decide to respond to someone and use a "form" response - that is, a letter that has no specific reference to the person you're writing to - you can bet that they will not only feel like a number, they probably won't bother with you.

When you write to someone, make sure you mention something positive about their profile or picture that reflects that you've been paying attention.

NEGATIVITY IN CAPS


It's bad enough if you write up negative things about everyone and their mother, but do you really need to do it IN CAPS. Caps indicate that you're yelling in the online world, so you can bet you'll get red flagged by most if not all people online because the last thing they want is to date someone who is constantly raising their voice.

Avoid writing anything in caps at all costs because you will be red flagged and you will not get any responses that will lead to anything good.

BIZARRE USERNAME/NICKNAME

ICumForYou69 or CantBeFaithful will not score you big points in the online dating world, so if you're using anything remotely close to this, there's a good chance you've been red flagged by many.

Try to use a name that defines you in a friendly way. Something like ShapeOfMyHeart or LatteAddict would work well.

ONLINE DATING RED FLAGS #7

NO STATS ENTERED


You will get dismissed in a heartbeat if you don't list your height, weight, or body type simply because online dating is about attraction before anything else. And if you don't enter those things, one will assume it's because the truth is horrifying.

There is someone out there for everyone, so even if you don't fit the typical mold, don't be ashamed of who you are. Enter your stats and you'll be surprised how many people will respond to you.

ONLINE DATING RED FLAGS #6

TOO SPECIFIC DESIRES


You're looking for someone between 22 and 23 who like to eat boiled eggs every day. Guess what? You will get no responses because not many people will fit that criteria.

List what you absolutely want (no smokers, drinkers) but ease up on the absolute specifics. Relationships are about compromise and you won't even know what you're willing to let slide until you meet that special someone.

ONLINE DATING RED FLAGS #5

HATING ON EVERYTHING


When anyone starts a profile speech with things like "I hate" or "I don't want", it sends out a negative vibe and you will come off as a negative person. And not even negative people want to be around other negative people.

Instead focus on what you do want from a relationship. There's no sense in listing off everything you hate about the opposite sex.
