How far has on line dating come? Just ask the people at Netrimony. Started in 1996 they are now the largest online matchmaking company not just in India but the world. They boast a membership of twenty five million and have successfully matched over one million people.

While their counterparts around the globe are nowhere near that kind of volume the on line dating industry as whole is growing by leaps and bounds. More established companies are going more mainstream while smaller niche dating sites are also enjoying success.

Unfortunately that has not necessarily meant success for everybody in particular many participants of internet dating online. No doubt Netrimony's one million successful matches are impressive but that also means roughly twenty four million are still waiting.

You might not necessarily want a company to play matchmaker for you but you would sure love to increase your odds of meeting more people to your liking. Relationships are not promised but there are things you can do to achieve better results.

1. Be Candid

You can talk honestly about yourself without exaggerating who you are and without revealing too much detail. Let people discover you and not some fake person that you made up. Shading the truth here and there is one sure fire way to sabotage a possible online relationship. Because once they realize you were less than truthful than it is highly unlikely that they will want to pursue a relationship with you.

2. Be Confident

You can visit more than a few forums where people who have had no success with online dating ask the question what are they doing wrong. There is always room for improvement when it comes to courting and relationships. But some time the lack of success shakes their confidence to the core.

Don't go there. Keep in mind you have so much to offer without the slightest exaggeration. Believe that and you won't quit.

3. Detach

Not saying you should become some cold android but constantly getting your hopes up only to discover the other person is just not for you can wear you out especially since you have so many choices to go through. That's why a little emotional detachment can be of tremendous help. You still are persistent in finding the right person the only difference is you won't be going on so many emotional roller coaster rides.
