Find A Date in Washington D.C.
From start to finish: 8 steps to find a date
by Randy B. Hecht
Maybe you're ready for a real relationship. Maybe you just want to get out
there and meet some new people. Whatever your romantic goals, the great thing
about online dating is that singles aren't just "out there" — they're right
here in your PC, just waiting for you to take notice. Intrigued, but not quite
sure how it all works? Follow these eight steps to find a date on Match:
1.
Sign Up Signing up gives you access to exclusive member benefits. Pick
a memorable username that's uniquely "you" and then look around to see what
other special singles live in your community.
2.
Search for singles in Washington D.C. As a Match.com member, you have full
access to search for other singles in a wide variety of ways. And once you
post your profile, you'll be on your way to using their exclusive
Advanced MatchingTM options.
3. Post your
free profile Now give those singles a chance to check you out. Pick a headline and give
potential matches a good idea of who you are, what makes you tick and why you'd
be a great date or sweetheart. Be communicative, funny, flirty — whatever best
expresses your personality.
4.
Add a photo
Adding photos is free, too — and a critical step: Profiles with photos get up
to 15 times more attention! Choose photos that are in focus, current and
flattering. That picture of you in SCUBA gear or on the ski slopes can be a
great second image, but make sure your primary headshot doesn't conceal your
face; your photos should help your dates to recognize you when you first meet.
5.
Subscribe today
Once you post your profile and photo, subscribers who want to get to know you
better can start to say hello. They can contact you, but you won't be able to
reply to or initiate contact with them until you subscribe.
6. Start a conversation &
contact other members
The possibilities of connecting are endless. Contact someone by email, instant
messaging, voicemail… and it's all done anonymously. We protect your identity
until you're ready to reveal it, so you can take as much time as you like to
get acquainted with prospective dates.
7. Make a date
Once you've gotten comfortable with someone who shares your interests and
makes your heart flutter, you can move on to a phone conversation or an
offline face-to-face. When you get together for the first time, be sure to
observe some basics — take care of your own transportation, meet in a public
place, and don't rush into anything. There'll be plenty of time to get better
acquainted.
8. Get ready
… to answer your friends' questions about how you jumpstarted your social life
— or how you met your new honey.
Ready? Set?
Find romance right around the corner!
