There are many ways of meeting new people in Hong Kong, but the one I recommend the most is online dating. Online dating is great because it allows you to meet a big pool of people you would otherwise not meet, you can search profiles according to a range of criteria, and it's convenient. However, there are some do's and don'ts when it comes to entering the world of dateing sites, and below, I will try to go through the most important ones.
DO'S
Always take a look at all the dating sites on offer locally before joining your favourite. The best way to meet people with the same interests as you is by checking them out first as there will be a site that caters for the type of person you want to meet.
DO put effort into writing a good and descriptive profile and always upload a photo. Writing a good profile and adding a nice photo is important as this is the advert for yourself, so to speak, and the better the advert, the more interest it will generate.
By talking to several people when you first join you will have more chance of finding one that clicks. You may not find the person to be your type straight away but keep communicating with them until you are sure. At first people can be nervous so giving them time by talking may show their true side, which may be what you are looking for.
THE THINGS NOT TO DO
You don't want to get stuck talking to the same person for the rest of time though. If you have been chatting for a while maybe arrange a real meet up to see if it works, and then if it is successful you can move to the next level.
Always be honest on the dating sites. Tell them your true age, looks etc. Anything you say that is untrue will come back to haunt you and won't be a nice experience later on.
Never just send a standard email to everyone that gets in contact. Be more personal and read about the sender. Then you can reply and tailor the email to the individual. You show you are a real person with real values and you will be respected more for this. - 31991
