Singletons should ‘know what they want’ out of online dating

People looking to try out online dating should get a firm idea in their head of what they are after.

Individuals may find the whole process is much smother if they have a firm view of who would be Mr or Mrs Right.

According to the Dumfries and Galloway Standard, singletons should know within themselves how serious they want any connection to be.

"Have some fun and don't put too much pressure on yourself – this may be the first step on the road to a wonderful relationship," the paper added.

Honesty is essential if people are to be successful when using the web, as it will avoid any "awkward moments" later down the line, while any photo posted should be recent.

The popularity of the medium shows no sign of stopping, as recent research by Vindicia – and reported by thenextweb.com – found that revenues increased by 57 per cent in 2011.
