Are you maximizing your experience on JDate? Do you do everything possible to meet your perfect match? Are you meeting as many people as possible? If not, here are a few ideas.
Expand your search preferences when doing searches for potential dating interests. Perhaps you have been seeking a date that is taller than a specific height, or located within a certain distance. You might be best served by expanding your search criteria. Lower the height requirement by a couple of inches. Expand the distance you would travel to meet a date. Include matches that might have been divorced and those with blonde/brown/red hair. Hey, you never know who will steal your heart, and by expanding your search preferences, you will find many more potential matches.
Check frequently for new JDater®s in your searches. Instead of simply running your saved search, why don’t you run one showing your newest matches? The early bird gets the worm.
Follow up on your Flirts. Should you decide to use the Flirt function, make sure you then send a personalized letter to that person. Flirts can be cop-outs. Frequently, JDaters will not respond to Flirts thinking that people are sending them to hundreds of men/women and that that member is not putting any effort into meeting them personally. Make yourself stand out by sending an excellent email.
Update your photos often. Read my article on JDate from October 19th with respect to posting proper photos. Keep your profile fresh. After you change your photos, you might have people reviewing your profile that never gave you a glance before.
Look into going on a JDate Travel getaway. Besides being a lot of fun, you will be meeting a lot of new people, all at once, from all over the country. The event organizers will make sure you meet as many people as possible. Many couples have met on these trips and have later married. In fact, one of my best friends met his wife on the JDate trip to Puerto Rico in December, 2007.
Attend the JDate parties in your area. You might have been avoiding them since you have already checked out all of the guys/girls in your area while doing searches. This isn’t the case. Many people who haven’t posted photos will attend these events. Also, many JDaters will bring friends who are not currently members of JDate. You never know who you will meet.
Finally, read the articles on JMag®. There are many things to learn not only about how to best utilize JDate (my articles), but also about living the single life (Sherri Langburt). You will find many articles on JMag that will be of interest to you and help you finally meet your perfect match.
