So, you think you know it all about internet dating? Been doing it for years now? Had a few great dates here and there? Think you know it all? Well, you probably still have a lot to learn! Simply follow these simple steps and you soon turn into an internet dating stud/studette!
 Good photos - the gateway to hot dates! 
Yes, you probably realize that putting photos on your dating profile usually gets you more replies. But why stop there? To really maximize your chances of meeting hot women/men, put as many 'hot' photos as possible up!

They are very cheap (some under $50 now!) and you can take unlimited photos of yourself! Ideal for getting great poses to put on your profile!

 Write Better First Messages - Get Personal! 
One of the most important things you have to do when it comes to internet dating is writing that very first all important contact message to the person you are interested in dating. Its not simply good enough to write 'Hey I saw your profile, you seem cool, write me back if you want to talk' type thing, you need to get personal! Read the person's profile and find out what the like to do and see what you have in common. If you both like similar music, ask them about that. And want to know what the best thing you can do to improve your chances of a response? Ask them a question about something they love... for example, if they are interested one of your favorite bands, ask them what their favorite song is by that band. Or if you both like movies, ask them what their favorite movie is. Simple as that... try it, you will be surprised how this simple tip works!
