There comes a time in everybody’s life when they feel as though they are in a love-rut that they can’t get out of.
It often coincides with a time where for some reason or another, you aren’t meeting anyone new, or those that you are meeting just aren’t your cup of tea. Perhaps all your friends are hooked-up, or you just don’t feel comfortable bumping and grinding with a stranger in a club. Either way, if you want to get out of the rut it’s time to get your A into G and get proactive.Gone are the days of having to go down to the nearest club to meet someone new. Just wander over to your computer or pull out your phone to be amazed at the amount of like-minded people in the same boat.

| How to Look for Love in the Right Places! |
However, before you jump online and sign up to the first online dating site you see, it’s important to know the facts and decide what audience you’re after. The online dating world is vast; from tinder, where you might find a good-time but not necessarily a long-time, to the ‘Set for Marriage’ online dating site, where the end game is clear.
To help you navigate the hectic world of online dating we’ve come up with some need-to-knows and tips:
DON’T BE TOO SHALLOW
When trying to meet Mr right, online, it’s easy to get caught up in the photographs. Though it is important to have an attraction to someone, it’s not everything. Women have been found to be much more forgiving of small imperfections when meeting someone in person than they are online and in being nit-picky about looks you may be missing the bigger, very suitable picture. You aren’t online shopping for something to wear, ladies.LOCAL IS LUCRATIVE
Try to stick to the more local profiles because it is much easier to start a relationship with somebody if they are available to meet up. Although sometimes very lucrative with many online relationships, starting out long-distance is starting on a back foot and can end in wasted time. There is also the danger of falling for the profile and not the person; there is a lot you can be blind to until you meet the person.THE TONE IS KEY
Ignore sweeping claims of personality traits. As a rule, people are unreliable self-reporters. It’s much better to try to gauge the tone of the profile; watch for signs of arrogance, bitterness or over-enthusiasm. It’s best to go for profiles that have a more down to earth feel, or that make you laugh.LESS IS MORE
Just like putting on make-up to go out for a date, there are things you can do to make your profile more attractive too. Show a little skin (shoulders, legs or a bit of cleavage), but nothing too provocative, and keep the ‘About Me’ sections short and considered. With more options comes more choices and you can afford to be pickier.CRUNCH TIME
When it comes to meeting someone obviously it’s important to stay safe. The best way to do that is to choose a meeting point that is central and busy. Coffee is a nice first date; firstly there isn’t any pressure to stay for a long time and second you can meet in the light of day where lots of people are about. Also it’s wise to tell a friend or family member where you’re going and what time so that they are aware of the situation. Most importantly trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable at any point then don’t hesitate, just leave.So if that love-rut has you down, don’t worry you now have all you need to know to make your way out of it.
