Quick tip for anyone who is trying out online dating sites

Don't start your conversation with a compliment. Or a simple "hi", "sup", "what are you doing". Or asking the other for pics/their snapchat/etc.

You'd think people would be better at making people interested in talking to them than that

i dont do dating sites.. they are just full of immature people who just want to fuck and run or married people looking for something outside of their marriage..

@SW-User interesting... So which ones are we talking of here!?

@SW-User Isn't that what they are for??

SW-User

@JollyRoger actual dating/ relationships.. not a fuck site.

@SW-User Oh... I thought going to a social gathering or to church or the cafeteria or hanging out with friends of friends was a better way to pick out a mate.

@JollyRoger no datign sites were suppose to let you meet people that you normally wouldnt have.. not to become some sex hook up sites.

@SW-User Yes, but you don't actually 'meet' them, do you! So...getting back to NorthernRoses' opener: You don't get to 'see' that person, so you have to ask them about their self, like: "I mentioned in my profile that I like doing...whatever... does that interest you too?" Bottom line: If the person IS truly looking for a relationship, then they will be looking to meet you sooner than later, so picking some common interest as the basis for a date would be the logical follow-through, wouldn't it?
