When online dating was first introduced to the world it carried a stigma that its purpose was for singles that otherwise couldn’t find a date in their normal day-to-day lives due to their appearance or personality. This certainly is no longer the truth since there is a place for everyone in the world of online dating sites. Whether you’re looking for something more long lasting and meaningful or a quick pick me up to ease your daily stress there are strategic ways of finding exactly what you’re looking for.

If You’re Looking To Find Your Soul Mate

If you’re looking for a serious relationship and a partner that you can potentially spend the rest of your days with then my biggest suggestion is to be patient. If you’re looking for something long lasting then don’t expect immediate results (not to say that its an impossibility). Take your time getting to know the person your communicating with. Be charming, sincere and absolutely avoid any cheesy pick up lines.  Another piece of advice I will give is to be as honest as possible when it comes to your online dating profile. You don’t want to be overly general since this will only give you with a pool of candidates that spread across a spectrum as wide as a rainbow. Instead put out what you want to get back and be as true to your self as possible. The best sites I can suggest to find what you’re looking for would be eHarmony, Match.com or LavaLife.com.

If You’re Looking For Something Quick And “Easy”

If you’re looking for one thing and one thing only (sex) then your strategy will be a little simpler. First step would be to sign up for a hook-up specific dating site or dating app such as SocialSex.com, Tinder or SexSearch.com. You won’t need to spend your time building a rapport with someone, you will simply just need to find a willing individual with the same intentions as you. There’s no reason to beat around the bush here, be as forward as possible to find a person who has the same things in mind as you. This way when you hook-up with this person there is no confusion as to what to expect but instead an understanding of what you both want.

Online Dating and Online Hook-Ups are two very different things and should never be confused as the same. Have a game plan; know what you’re intentions are and if you know where to find people with the same idea of what they’re looking.  If you’ve done these things then distinguishing the two should be easy and ultimately rewarding.
