Online dating: 5 tips for women

Online dating is becoming increasingly popular and women in particular are often looking for suitable tips for virtual dating. In this practical tip, we will tell you five tips that you as a woman should definitely pay attention to when dating on the Internet.

Tip 1 for women: Be honest and natural when dating online

The most important point is that you are always honest and natural when dating online. This is the only way your counterpart can get to know you best.

• Therefore, never portray yourself as you are not. So don't make yourself bigger, narrower or more interesting than you actually are. Stand by yourself and show yourself the way you are. Only then will you attract the right people.
• Always remember that you are dealing with real people when dating online and therefore do not say anything that you would not say in real life.

Tip 2 for women: put attractive photos online

When it comes to online dating, women tend to put photos online that either no longer correspond to reality or that have been greatly helped.

• But the photos also have to look natural. So put photos online that you can show, for example, at hobbies. Try not to post anything or edit the photo too much. That backfires at the latest on the date.
• Be sure to use up-to-date photos, not the ones that made you look so slim after a diet. This is quickly noticed negatively. It is best to add several and different photos to the profile.
• You should also avoid showing too much skin or posing particularly erotically. This usually seems ridiculous and you also quickly end up in a drawer and attract the wrong men.

Tip 3 for women: reveal something when dating online

You should not write your address or the like in the profile when dating online, but a slightly filled profile is not meaningful.

• So tell your counterpart about yourself, report on hobbies, your job or your pets and children, if available. Try not to gloss over anything and describe yourself as you are.
• But don't go into too much detail on all topics. On the one hand, a detailed profile can deter you, on the other hand, your counterpart should only get an impression. You can then clarify everything else in a conversation.

Tip 4 for women: don't just leave it online

As a woman, you shouldn't just leave the data in the online area there. Get to know your counterpart if there is interest.

• First of all, it is therefore advisable to make phone calls or communicate via webcam. If you are sympathetic, you can go to a meeting.
• Do not be pushed and arrange a meeting in a public place. Make sure your intentions are clear before the meeting to avoid misunderstandings.

Tip 5 for women: take the initiative in online dating

Many women wait online dating until one of the men answers. This often happens because there tend to be more women than men - but it is not always recommended.

• If someone appeals to you, you should contact that person yourself. It may be that the person did not find you at all and then you can wait forever.
• Especially if you are not so happy with the men you write to, you should take a look around yourself. After all, you know best what you want.
