Can a mouse and a click actually bring you closer to true love? The answer is yes. However, it is a rough world and it is important- for the sake of keeping your dignity in tack- that you do not get too terribly personal. You are right, dating is personal, but even in the digital world of online dating rejection remains and it definitely can feel as though you had just been let down by the man you had been chasing after for the last decade when rejection occurs.
If you have tested the waters and contacted that first “potential love” just to find that you are one of many to hit his mailbox and definitely won’t be recognized for being the “cream of the crop” or perhaps your email was simply “dull” or worse yet; you received a response that would have melted your heart had it not been a copy of a romantic piece floating around the net. Regardless, you need to remember it is not about you.
When it comes to online dating there are rules that you should live by. While this may not be personal, it is your chance to find what you are looking for- love. If you are on the scene and not gaining any response, there are a few simple remedies to help you gain the attention you desire.
First, tweak your profile and have a friend take many, many photos and place the best on the dating site. This will definitely help to clear up that dry spell and put luck on your side. Even with your luck changing it is important to remember that rejection may still occur- mostly because those we are attracted to are not always attracted to us. Simply because we feel something boiling within us does not mean that the feelings are reciprocated. This is the time to not take it personally.
Why not take it personally? Because there is no saying why the feelings aren’t being reciprocated. Maybe she is a devoted Catholic and you are not even a church-goer. Perhaps she met her prince charming last week, or hates cigarette smoke. Maybe she feels as though you are “just too good looking or intelligent”. While we are all ready to jump to conclusions and decide it is our looks, this is not often the case…most of the time it is a different scenario or you are just not the profile she was looking for.
