10 tips for picking up singles on a dating site

If you start on a dating site, it is because you are already willing to communicate and build a relationship. Whether it is on a friendly, sexual or love level, it is not always easy to start a conversation and to be in a seduction that will not make you look like an insistent or inappropriate person. I propose you to give you 10 tips to flirt on a dating site.

How to approach someone on a dating site?

The first steps on a dating site are the most fragile. We lack confidence and we judge ourselves every time. Written communication will be your best friend during all these moments of contact. But we have to admit that when you are in front of a stranger, it is not easy to write words without looking like a pervert or a shy person! The shortcuts are quick and you will have to take it upon yourself to start the conversation if you don't want your soul mate to escape you. What to say? What turns of phrase to write? What are the writing mistakes not to make?

1. Spotting dubious profiles

Before starting a conversation with someone, select the profiles that seem to be well constructed: a profile picture, a description that is not full of spelling mistakes. These profiles may be those of scammers or simply people who are not committed to finding love. They want a one-night stand. The reassuring profiles have several photos in different emotions and their description seems sincere and worked.

2. Take the plunge and make the first move

Once you've identified the profiles that are interesting to you, it's time to take the plunge and make the first move. Don't be afraid to disturb because if people are registered on the dating application it is because they are also ready to exchange. So be daring! Send the first message that will open the door to the relationship. To show your interest in the person, during the first messages, you can start the conversation by bouncing on an element of the profile. For example, a movie they like that you've also seen. Use what the person has put on their profile to get into a personal contact.

Beware of all those people who copy and paste texts to flirt. By starting the conversation this way, you'll immediately see if she's responding to you in that content or if she has sentences already ready to be sent.

3. The care of the first messages

The first few messages are crucial to making a connection. If you are not authentic, you risk losing the other person quickly. To do this, take real care in your writing by checking the syntax and spelling. Put some touches of humor too so that you can maintain this link in lightness and not only in heavy and romantic seduction.

4. Reactivity

One of the major tips is responsiveness. Don't be slow or absent in your answers. The person you are contacting needs to feel your presence both to reassure him or her but also to have the feeling that you are building your relationship at the same pace.

5. Sincerity

Flirting or seduction have a pejorative, negative connotation that can quickly stop a relationship. Someone who will not be authentic in his flirting, who will play a game constantly, will lose the person. It is absolutely necessary in his game of seduction, sincerity. Be authentic, true to touch the heart of the other person. Your conversations must have this depth, otherwise you will remain on the surface of the feelings of love.

6. The attention

Starting conversations can also quickly turn into banality. Ideas are lacking and you are not sure what to talk about. It is essential in every message that you pay attention to the person. Ask them about their life, what they are doing and how they feel. It is a caring and reassuring attention for her because behind this attentive behavior, she knows that she can count on your caring and active listening.

7. Humor

In your written messages, don't be afraid to use humor as well. It is not a question of making a joke on every text message. However, it is important to add some levity to the relationship. Humor helps to build complicity in a couple. Without laughter, feelings remain in a lonely and adult mood. It is also important to invite your childlike side into the relationship to laugh heartily.

8. The difference

To flirt online, you have to know how to stand out. Difference, originality and audacity are the pillars to make you stand out. It is not about marginalizing yourself but about having a unique profile that will attract attention and make people want to know you.

9. Confidence in yourself

Don't "oversell" yourself but be confident about who you are! Hitting on someone on a dating site can be very uncomfortable when you are not used to it. But it is not acceptable to devalue yourself with every sentence because you risk scaring the chosen one away from the dating site. Falling into this pitfall of lack of self-confidence does not help to build a relationship because somewhere along the line you are destining the person who is going to accompany you to have to help you find this confidence when it is up to you to do this personal work.  So especially when you start dating, don't say that you are single because you are ugly!

10. The right tone in exchanges

Dating doesn't mean sex. Seducing implies setting things up right from the start with the person, i.e. what is the primary intention in registering on a dating site. Once this is identified, you can then launch into the relationship because you are on the same wavelength. In order to deepen this mutual seduction, you will have to find the right tone of your exchanges, the right frequency. These open hearted conversations will be crucial to build your love link. It will not leave you both.

These 10 tips for flirting on a dating site are essential bases for entering into a fulfilling and sincere relationship. Whether you're a regular flirt or a novice flirt, these 10 tips will help you find love and nurture a genuine connection if you're ready.
