Tips for narrowing the pool of applicants
When you join an online dating service, it can seem like you are an employer with a really prestigious job open. You will get a lot of applications. Some will be qualified and others will not.
Here’s so tips that might help you take those that send you messages and figure out which might be the best for you.
1) First, are you attracted to them. I believe looks aren’t everything and you may be attracted to their personality instead of their exterior. There needs to be some type of chemistry or connection or you are likely wasting your time.
2) Does the person make you laugh? It may sound silly, but couples go through ups and down. Laughter can be the best medicine. If you can make each other laugh, there’s a better chance you can make it through the hard times.
3) Do you have things in common? Just because you are attracted to each other doesn’t mean you are a good match. You need to start looking at the interest each of you have. Do they match? It’s the time you look at what is important to you. For example, a huge country music fan and a huge rap fan may not be compatible.
4) Are there any deal breakers? Everyone has at least one or two issues that are dealbreakers - issues that you just can’t get past. They are different for everyone. Find out early on if the person has any of your “deal breakers” before you get too attached.
