5 Ways You’re Sabotaging Your Chances

Here are five things that may be sabotaging your chances of meeting your perfect partner.

1. You don’t make time for romance – If you have a busy life with work, family, chores and hobbies you might not think that you have the time to look for romance. However, looking for love is one of the best possible uses of your time.
2. You’ve dismissed online dating – Online dating is for weirdos right? No, this is no longer the case, online dating is universal, you’ll meet a whole range of people. Yes, there will be a few odd-bods, but no more than you’d meet in a bar or nightclub.
3. You expect people to come to you – If you have joined an online dating website like Muddy Matches, that’s fantastic, but you need to make sure that you don’t just sit back and wait for people to contact you. Add people to your favourites list and send lots of messages to let people know that you are interested in them.
4. You’re hung up on your ex – If your profile is basically a hate letter to your ex partner, it’s time for a re-write. It may also be time to take a break from dating. If you want to take a break without losing all your profile information, you can ‘hide’ your profile, which means that it cannot be searched found by other people, but is still available for you when you need it.
5. You’ve not told people that you’re looking for someone – Word of mouth isn’t just a great way to promote a business, it’s actually one of the best ways to find a partner. If you let your friends know that you’re looking to meet someone, they’ll let you know who’s single in their wider friendship group. They can also help you by looking at your profile, helping you to choose great photos of yourself and by finding gorgeous single people on Muddy Matches.
