Reviewers Rating 5/5 Stars

1. Log in frequently
This shows other singles on the site that you are an active user. This keeps you highly visible when people sort their searches by ‘last members to log in.’ It also encourages people to contact you as they are more likely to receive a response. Read “Stay Visible” for more information on this topic.

2. Add photos and keep them fresh
It is estimated that you will most likely receive up to ten times more responses to your personals ad if you include a photo. Keep photos recent and try to use good, clear images.

3. Be descriptive in your personals essay
Vague comments and general statements do not tend to captivate an audience. Check “How to Write Great Essays” for tips on writing profile descriptions that get attention.

4. Show your sense of humour
It is not always easy to fully express yourself in a profile description. This is why you should spice up your profile essays with a little injection of humour. It will show people that you are laid back and are able to have fun. Try to avoid dry, sarcastic humour though (at least in excess) as that may scare people off.

5. Search often
New singles join Date.ca daily. By checking back on a regular basis, you are able to keep an eye out for new singles that you may be attracted to.

6. Send “flirts” to singles that attract you
Want to show someone you are interested but you’re experiencing writer’s block? No worries, go ahead and send them a “flirt.” This is a fun and relatively effortless way to contact someone and let them know you are interested without the stress of writing that initial email… You’ll get to that when you’re ready!

7. Send “Clicks” to singles you find attractive
Clicks are a great way of letting someone know you are interested without fear of rejection. When you send a Click, the user is notified by email that someone has sent a Click out of a few possible profiles. That user then sends a Click to the person they find interesting in that message. Only when the Click has been mutually sent will both parties be notified.

8. Chat!
Since you are online looking for new interesting people to meet, why not go for a live chat where you can join a room and talk to people that share similar interests with you.

9. Add people to your Hot List
This makes it easy for you to remember which singles you found interesting while browsing the site.

10. Send out emails to people you find interesting
You will not get many results if you don’t send out messages to let people know you are interested. You can start with Clicks and Flirts, but a personal email message may better convey what you wish to express. Get that writer’s cap on!
