Don't stress over your profile page

EuroDate is a leading international dating company, who has revealed the myths that we all believe when we set foot into the online dating world.

“International online dating isn’t new, but there are some commonly held misperceptions of what to do and what not to do. A lot of that comes from advice that is largely a result of marketing from some of the bigger online dating sites. People can really limit their chances of finding someone special by following rules that are out of date, pun intended,” said EuroDate spokesman Dave Woods.

Top 6 myths of online dating:

Profile Procrastination

Profiles do not hold as much weight as you might think. You can get far too involved in making them look perfect and then no-one messages you. Singes are interested in your picture and what this can conjure up- information overload can result in prejudgements- try to be mysterious so people will be intrigued by you and your life.

Perfection is overrated

The pretence of perfection will not result in you being happy or successful. All adults should know by now that every dater will have an imperfection or two- be comfortable with who you are and embrace your differences- don’t go with the grain and people will respect you for it.  

Compatibility is not predictability

You cannot predict your compatibility with someone else via a formula or your star sign like many dating sites imply. The only thing that will help you along the way is meeting up or talking with someone to get to know them better. Relying on algorithms such as these will only lead to disappointment.  

Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Try not to focus on one person- be flexible and open to having multiple conversations that capture your interest. If the one person you are fixated on does not return your feelings of attraction- then you will only feel downhearted about the whole process. 

Pace yourself well

Try to take things in your own stride rather than rush it. Romance should be savoured not a tick list exercise. Despite movies leading us to believe the contrary- they may make for good viewing but in real life love should not be a race to the finish line. Trust takes a while to gain- if you go through all the stages too early you will be left at the other end envying those who took their time.
