Want to Rekindle an Old Flame?

September 6th, 2007

Admit it. You have a MySpace page because you’re hoping against all hope that your old flame is going to try to find you. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. This unconventional way to find the love of your life isn’t something new, but it is the modern day equivalent of stalking someone without leaving your home. Instead of following them from work to home and then calling them only to hang up, you can follow around your old flames with online dating sites.

And what’s even funnier about it is that these sites aren’t actually set up to be dating sites, as such. But they’re working out what way.

But does it work? Sometimes, it certainly does. If you’re single, why not try to message your old flame to see what he or she is up to? It can’t hurt and if they never respond, that’s no loss to you. But if they do respond, you might be able to restart an old conversation.

Chances are high that one of you is going to be in a relationship, making something new a bit tricky or even impossible, so you need to be ready for these situations as well. But when you’re both single, online dating through networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, and others is a good way to find out just who else might be looking for you too.

MySpace as an Online Dating Tool

May 30th, 2007

If you don’t already have a MySpace profile, you’re one of the few. Nearly everyone has one or more mySpace pages and profiles that are helping to connect people across the globe. And because you get to list your marital status and your reason for being on the webpage, you can easily use your page for a subtle online dating scene.

Without the obvious push towards dating on MySpace, you have the ability to talk with others that you might want to date WITHOUT the pressure. Simply accept new friends or don’t – the rejection is painless. And because you are usually found through your friends, it is nearly a matchmaking system as well. If your friends accepted that person, maybe you should too.

While you can use MySpace as a dating tool, you need to remember that many people use MySpace and other social networking sites to chat and make friends – don’t assume people are there to find a date.

When you are looking to make MySpace your dating tool, you will want to follow these tips:

  • Have a good picture on your page, maybe several in your photo album
  • Don’t have pictures with other dates you’ve been on – that can make you look attached and unavailable
  • Take some time creating a fun page that highlights your interests and your personality
  • Talk to someone else that has a mySpace page you like to get advice
  • Read through profiles over MySpace to meet other people

By using the MySpace format, you will be able to converse with other potential dates – all without providing your email address or other personal information. It’s safe, it’s free, and it’s fun for everyone to try.
