Five reasons why you shouldn't give up on dating

If you’ve been on a dating site for a while, it’s easy to get disheartened, and that’s totally normal. A very tiny number of people meet The One on their first date but for most people it takes a while longer. The truth is that the more you keep dating, the more likely you are to meet someone special, so here are five reasons not to give up now.

You’ve already put a lot of effort in

If you’ve already gone through the effort of setting up a profile, writing your narrative and adding photos, you’ve already done the hard part. Once you’re online, it’s simply a case of looking at the site on a regular basis and seeing who pops up on your matches. It’s a good idea to be proactive by sending messages, but once you’ve done it a couple of times, you know the drill and it’s easy.

A small change might make a big difference

If you aren’t getting much response online, or you aren’t feeling chemistry with your dates, it’s time to adjust your search parameters. Consider changing the age or distance ranges and think about dating people you would normally pass by for minor reasons. If you’ve seen someone on the site for a while but have always rejected them, why not send them a message? You might develop a real rapport that blossoms into something more.

Don’t give up, just have a break

If you really need a rest from it all, just take a break rather than deleting your profile. You can stop logging in altogether if you like, as your profile will still be there when you get your enthusiasm back and decide to return. Alternatively, you can be super passive with the site and only visit when you get an email suggesting a match. It’s up to you how much you engage, so take it as easy as you like.

Your profile might need a makeover

If you feel like quitting, why not give your profile a makeover instead? Simply changing your profile photo can make a huge difference, as people who have passed you by before will suddenly notice you afresh. The great thing about MySingleFriend is that you can get a friend to help. If you haven’t already got a friend describing you, ask someone to write a few lines. It will give both you and your profile a big boost.

Because the next one could be The One

Ultimately, you only need one right date before you’re on the road to happily ever after. Of course, it may take weeks or months of wrong dates, but once you go on one right one, you won’t have to date anymore. The more dates you go on, the more likely you are to meet that special someone, so it’s worth keeping going. Remind yourself that the next date could lead to The One, and you’ll stop feeling like quitting.
