Whether online dating is the bane of your existence or fills you with buoyant hope, it’s smart to craft the most stellar profile possible. Since that’s easier said than done, we went to Laurie Davis, founder of the online dating concierge service eFlirt and author of Love at First Click , for her tips on how to put your best digital foot forward.

Those souped-up personality snapshots have resulted in nearly marriages and engagements, and even a few dozen babies! Here, Davis offers advice that applies to pretty much every dating service, whether you’re all about Match.

Truth: Profiles with personality get more dates than boring carbon copy zombie drones. And a well written online dating profile is hands-down the best way to.

We asked the experts how to help three lonely hearts find love. When Liam moved to Manchester from south Wales in , he thought he was doing it for lasting love. Dating his girlfriend long distance for over a year, he found a job as a prison officer and moved north to be with her. He desperately wants a committed, long-term relationship , but is struggling to make it past consistent hook-ups.

But trying to date other women in Hastings has proved less than fruitful.

This is a major problem for online daters.

Liam, Dan and Holly have gotten this question answered.
