Technology moves fast and, as a result, so does the way we use it. If you&#8217;re single trying to online date, it can be hard to keep up at times. That&#8217;s why we went straight to the source and asked single men and women&nbsp;who are online dating to give each other some&nbsp;online dating tips about what they&#8217;d like to see from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We already gave the guys their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/date-mix\/online-dating-tips\/online-dating-tips-for-men-from-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online dating tips from women<\/a>, so now it&#8217;s your turn ladies. We surveyed over 3,000 men on the online dating site and app&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/ddm\/clk\/306955822;126561327;i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoosk<\/a>&nbsp;and asked them about their experiences and what their top online dating tips for women are. What we got was some great insight and some short but sweet tips&nbsp;you can start using right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here are&nbsp;33 online dating tips for women&nbsp;from men:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. &#8220;Do what feels right for you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. &#8220;Don&#8217;t be so quick to judge, there are a lot of choices out there especially with a dating site. And if you judge someone negatively after the first lull in a conversation, you may just be passing up Mr. Right.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. &#8220;Any pictures you post, especially your main photo, shouldn\u2019t hide your face or body. Be proud of you. Show yourself. Post pictures of you!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. &#8220;It helps if you provide a conversation starter in your profile. I think we&#8217;d both prefer that I ask about your career or a hobby over a generic, \u2018Hey, you&#8217;re cute\u2019 message.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. &#8220;Figure out what matters most to you in life, then find someone who has matching priorities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. &#8220;If you\u2019re viewing someone several times a day\/week, don&#8217;t be afraid to say something. You might lose out by remaining silent, because we&#8217;re not sure if you\u2019re really interested, or just passing by.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. &#8220;Be yourself. You\u2019re not trying to win a man, you\u2019re trying to find the right fit together.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. &#8220;Don&#8217;t rush things, of course. Though we&#8217;re all looking for a special someone, it&#8217;s more fun when you don&#8217;t try looking but rather stumble right onto it. I know it&#8217;s ironic that I&#8217;m saying this about a dating site, but I\u2019m really just looking for a good conversation before anything else.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. &#8220;Using more emoticons while online is really helpful. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to read into the meaning of a conversation via a text chat.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10. &#8220;Don\u2019t be afraid to be the first one to say hi. We really appreciate it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11. &#8220;If all a guy can start off with is hi, don&#8217;t blow him off because he\u2019s not blowing your mind with the most amazing greeting you&#8217;ve ever read. Give him a little patience and a moment to open up. You could be ignoring someone that just needs a moment to get the pleasantries out of the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12. &#8220;Many of the things you look for in a relationship, a man is looking for as well. Things that you like, men like: compliments, engaging conversation, eye-contact, all of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">13. &#8220;Some of the best guys in the world don\u2019t know how to interact with women but have so much to offer. So be kind to the shy guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">14. &#8220;Be a little flirty and go for it!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">15. &#8220;Try to limit any talk about exes, unless someone makes a direct inquiry.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">16. &#8220;Make plans too. Don\u2019t rely on the man to make all the decisions.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">17. &#8220;Be understanding. Many guys are dense as doorknobs and you have to be direct with them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">18. &#8220;Use pictures of yourself doing the things you say you do. For example, instead of saying you like to walk on the beach, have a picture.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">19. &#8220;Most men are poor at picking up the subtle cues, so some explicit direction is sometimes needed for us to make those early connections.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">20. &#8220;Focus on what you want in your profile, not on what you don\u2019t want.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">21. &#8220;If you like a guy&#8217;s profile, then go ahead and message him, even if it&#8217;s just to say that you liked his profile.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">22. &#8220;Spend some time trying to get to know someone by asking questions about him. In our culture a lot of people make quick judgements and move on without truly getting to know someone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">23. &#8220;Don\u2019t be afraid to go somewhat deep in your conversation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">24. &#8220;If the person is within the scope of what you\u2019re looking, spend some time and see how it goes with no pressure.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">25. &#8220;Be open to new things and new kinds of men. You may be surprised.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">26. &#8220;Don\u2019t put in your profile that you want \u2018to be treated like a princess,\u2019 that you are \u2018high maintenance but worth it,\u2019 or that you \u2018want to be spoiled.\u2019 It can come across as selfish instead of confident.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">27. &#8220;Don\u2019t use a photograph with other people in it, especially men.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">28. &#8220;Stop with the one word answers. It\u2019s hard to keep a conversation going.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">29. &#8220;Don\u2019t be too shy. When you\u2019re chatting online or texting it sounds like you aren\u2019t interested.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">30. &#8220;Keep it simple and don\u2019t try to learn everything about each other in the first conversation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">31. &#8220;Don\u2019t try and change a man, celebrate your differences and be open minded.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">32. &#8220;Be willing to meet and talk. Don\u2019t make everything about a few profile sentences and pictures.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">33. &#8220;Be brave enough to share your heart and express your feelings.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Men on dating sites give their best pieces of advice.
