The world of dating is very different now to when I was younger.  We could all do with some dating advice and now the place to find dates is online using websites like Guernsey Dating Site. Whether you are still preparing for your first date or you have been on numerous dates off a dating website with people you have met online, we can all do with a little help.  To get the best benefit out of your dating profile and website take a look at our top tips and tricks to help  you find your perfect partner.

1. Make sure your dating bio is up to date.  Many of us don’t like the fact of having to list our dislikes and likes but the more information you give about yourself the clearer a picture you paint for a potential match that could be viewing your profile.
2. Try and use clear photographs and make sure they are up to date.  You would be surprised the amount of people that use a very old photograph and when they finally meet someone that person has that image in their head.  If you don’t have any recent photographs now is a good time to take a few.
3. When you have connected with someone that you think you would like to meet make sure you meet them somewhere public.  It could be in a pub for a drink or a coffee shop, relaxed atmospheres.  Always tell your friends and or family where you are going.
4. Don’t text or tweet etc them too much after you have swapped contact details.  Keep in touch by all means but don’t hassle them non stop or try and call them too much.  This could put them off, so it has to be a balancing act that works for you and your prospective partner.
5. Try not to speak to much about exes during the time when you meet.  Your ex could be a good friend, or you might not stand them! You will both find out in time about your exes but try not to chat about that on a first date.
6. You don’t have to go on a date with the first person that asks you.  That’s the joy of online dating you can be more selective in who you chose and who you get on with better.  That’s why a dating site like Guernsey Dating Site is great for chatting and getting to know someone first.
7. No matter whether you are male or female you are an independent adult living in the 21^st century.  Its polite for both parties to offer to buy a round of drinks or even split the bill.
8. Enjoy your time using online dating websites.  Some people just enjoy dating and don’t want a long term relationship.  Make sure your intentions are understood before you arrange any dates to what you and your prospective partner would like.
9. Don’t stop doing things in your life for dating.  Do not make the person you are now dating the number one thing in your life.  Yes, they will be extremely important to you, but most people also have families, jobs, hobbies etc to juggle too. 
10. Try not to Facebook stalk before your date.  This will no doubt come up in conversation on your date if you know too much about them before you see them.  Plus, it is most of the fun getting to know someone on dates and asking about holidays, family etc rather than having seen it all first.
