Online dating requires patience and practice. Just because you uploaded your profile online doesn't mean that people will come and chat to you. You will need to make an effort and take the initiative and actively seek contact with those you like. Try to avoid the mistakes below in order to be successful in finding your perfect match:

1. Women browse profiles to find their match just like you do. Post a good recent picture of yourself, a nice picture that shows your sense of humour or style. Do not send sexually explicit images.

2. Make sure your profile contains proper spelling and grammar. Women are attracted to intelligent people so don't ruin your chances by making simple mistakes on your profile. Take some time to get it right guys and you'll get a response.

3. Women usually like men with a touch of class, so don't choose a nickname that has a sexual innuendo. You don't want to give the impression that you're just searching for a one night stand.

4. Don't use negative words on your profile. Women are much more likely to be attracted to a positive person.

5. Always send individual messages to each member and put some thought into your message. Women get approximately 100 messages a day from all sorts of guys. If you copy and paste 10 exactly the same messages you may just get over-looked.

6. Show women that you're a caring person. Take time to get to know the lady. Ask questions to learn about who she is, what she does, etc. Don't talk only about yourself.

7. Don't pretend that you are willing to fly half way round the world to meet someone you have been chatting to if you're not really serious. It's not fair on anyone including you. It's easy to get carried away with a lovely person seven thousand miles away, but are you really going to get out of that chair and go and meet them if things go really well and you are sure? If you are really only looking for someone in your state or close to home then stick with that and make it clear.

8. If you are married don't lie, tell them from the very beginning. Women can feel this and it gets you nowhere.

9. If a woman tells you that she is not interested in you do not keep sending her messages. You are wasting your time and she can easily complain that you are harassing her.
