There are 1,000,000 lesbians using online dating sites in the United States every day. Yes, that’s right, 1,000,000.
Now, these 1,000,000 lesbians are spread all over the country and not all of them are available to you so far, but if you’re skipping online dating as a strategy to meet single lesbians, you’re making a big mistake.
Online dating is just one of the things you should do in your quest to find amazing lesbian love and relationships, but it’s important to use it in conjunction with local events, festivals, gatherings, local LGBT nonprofits and more.
There are 10 things you should understand about online dating to make it more fun and a more successful experience.
1. Learn how to use all functions.
You should understand how to use the online dating site of your choice and all of its features. Before you start paying, try out the free features and familiarize yourself with the process the site uses.
2. Each dating site is unique and some are better than others.
If you are not satisfied with the quality of the site (we’ll talk about lesbians on the site in a minute!), Leave the site. It should work well, not stop and have a good number of active women on the site in your area.
3. Don’t get angry when lesbians do not communicate with you.
Not receiving a reply to an email you send is quite common. Most emails don’t get a response, so it’s not that personal. It’s happening to everyone.
4. Yes, women lie, get over it.
They post old photos that are not a true reflection of how they look today. They say they don’t smoke when they do and more.
Stop taking it personally and move on when you realize you’ve met a liar. Hopefully you’ll find out sooner rather than later.
5. You have to give time to the process
You may meet the love of your life in a week of online searching, but it’s not likely. You may have to make a long-term commitment. That’s okay. Many women quit too soon.
The older you get, the more time you have to dedicate to finding a great partner, and that’s okay because as we get older, we stop committing.
6. Have good photos, please
You don’t need many of them, but make sure they are no older than six months.
Everyone has a smartphone these days, so getting digital images is easy and convenient. If you need to take 100 pictures to bring out the best in you, go for it!
7. Do not complain
Please don’t be a whiny bitch on your dating profile. Don’t complain about what’s wrong with life or online dating. No one is interested in your “I’m mad as hell” story because none of us want to date someone bitter and resentful.
8. Take offline appointments as soon as possible
If you’re not looking for a pen pal, stop acting like you are. When you connect with a lesbian online, stop offline dating as soon as possible.
You’re online dating to build a relationship. Three emails, a phone and a meeting is the recipe for not wasting time and finding out if you have a good connection when you meet.
9. Don’t be surprised if your date is still online.
Until you and the woman you’re seeing agree to be exclusive, stop getting upset if you see her online. That’s her business (not yours) until you both agree that you are officially dating exclusively.
10. When you are exclusive, it’s time to lower your profile.
Now it’s time to jump up and down. The online dating site has done its job. You’ve met a woman who is great for you and you both agree that it’s time to get your profiles out. woo hoo!!!!
The path to success in online dating is patience, a relaxed attitude and being willing to engage in the process over the long haul if necessary.
With a more relaxed approach, you’ll find that it’s a great way to get out and meet women along with all the other dating venues you have access to in your city or town.
And if online dating is the only active place you have, then stop procrastinating and holding back. work it, baby!
