Always be sure to treat you other potential "matches" with the same respect that you expect be treated with.

Respect and keeping an open mind is a huge part of online dating success, when another singles views your photos and profile and would like to start communicating it doesn't hurt to start communicating with them simply starting out with an exchange of emails.

Here are two things NOT to do when joining an online dating site for singles personals.

1. The page where you are to provide the "about me" information is not completely filled out, leaving to much blank or is not detailed enough can cause that potential match to move onto the next picture and profile.
   
   You miss out! Online dating sites for singles are very exciting to use, and when you receive that first email notifying you of a potential match that is an exciting experience, don't ruin your chances just because you failed to fill out your info properly as this excitement will quickly turn to pure disappointment and you will be asking yourself why am I not getting any interest.
   
2. You don't include a photo of yourself- or you post a photo with you and about a half dozen other people in it and now other singles are not for sure which one is you. Don't post photos like this! Some of the online dating sites have very advanced matchmaking features that are based on key qualities that are designed to predict long term relationships, that is why it is so critical to completely fill out your "about me" section and providing a solo picture of you.
   
   When other singles review their matches they receive and find that no photo is available most likely they will pass on your profile match. Remember that online dating and pictures go together!

What we are saying is that we believe it is important to try and communicate one way or the other with all of your potential "matches" that you receive from the dating site.
If you are certain that you do not want to communicate with that person simply closing the "match" is the most appropriate thing to do. Good Luck and Happy Online Dating!
