So you survived Valentine's Day as a single person.
We're glad you made it.
Valentine's Day can be an all too in-your-face reminder that you are not involved in a relationship! The good news is that there are many other single people out there who felt the same way over the past week.
We put together a list of the top five things you can do in a post-Valentine world to get back to meeting your match.
1.
Put Yourself Out There...
Today Valentine's Day makes people more aware of the fact that they are single.
This is a good thing for you.
Online dating sites typically encounter the heaviest volume and the highest percentage of new members at this time.
It is a great time to meet your next online match.
Now is the time to test out a new online dating site.
2.
Tell Your Story Online dating profiles will typically give you the chance to explain your background.
Use the past week of Valentine's doldrums to tell your story.
You might say something like: "I'm now giving online dating a try to seek a great relationship.
" 3.
Sign up for Two Sites You want to maximize the number of potential matches that you will find in your geographic area.
Do this by signing up for a subscription site (typically much higher quality) and a free site (lower quality but the price is right).
You will begin to gain familiarity with how the online dating world works.
Having a frame of reference for judging how good dating sites are is helpful.
4.
Look for Specials Online dating sites are usually inclined to provide promotions this time of year.
eHarmony, for example, is offering free communication for the next two weeks.
By doing some easy research you can save yourself some real money on an online subscription.
5.
Be Extra Proactive People are single and especially aware of this since February 14th.
Everyone is looking for their next great relationship.
Take the initiative and be proactive with dating matches who seem appealing to you.
Your new matches joined a dating site for a reason.
Seize the day and reach out to them!
