But there are a l
4、ot of obstacles that might keep someone from meeting the love of his or her life in todays world. Maybe dating co-workers is against company policy. Perhaps you hate the bar scene. You might not be in the right mood to meet your soul mate while youre trekking(艰苦跋涉 )through the grocery store. People
5、of all ages, lifestyles and locations have been facing this problem for decades. In the last 10 years or so, a new solution has arrived to help lonely hearts find their soul mates: online dating. Getting Started Online dating is simply a method of meeting people, and it has advantages and disadvanta
6、ges. The variety of dating sites is constantly growing, with many sites focused on very specific groups or interests. There arc sites for seniors, sites for Muslims(穆斯林 ), sites for fitness-oriented people, sites for people just looking for friends and sites for people who are interested in more adu
7、lt activities. This article will be focused on the most basic type of dating site-one that works to bring two people together for a romantic relationship. While this article applies to the majority of popular dating sites, the rules and practices of any given individual site may differ. When you fir
8、st arrive at an online dating site, you can browse through profiles without entering any information about yourself. The amount of information you can see about each user depends on the site. Some sites allow users to restrict access to their profiles to paying members. Photos might not be displayed
9、 unless you have a paid membership. This helps preserve anonymity, since a co-worker or family member cant accidentally stumble across your profile. Theyd have to pay for a membership to see a picture of the person theyre reading about. Once you decide youre going to give it a shot, the first thing
10、you need to do is create your profile. Creating a Profile When its time to make your own profile, youll start with some basic information. Are you a man or a woman? Are you looking to meet a man or a woman? What age range are you interested in? Where do you live? (Some sites just ask for a zip code,
11、 while others may allow you to choose from a list of cities.) This is generally the same information you provide to perform a simple search, or “browse.“ Basic profile information may also include your birthdate and a valid e-mail address. Site administrators will communicate with you through this a
12、ddress, and some sites allow messages from users to be sent to your e-mail anonymously. When they send you a message, it is routed through the sites system and redirected to your e-mail without the other user ever seeing your address. Some sites use their own internal messaging system. If youre espe
13、cially concerned about privacy, its easy enough to create a free e-mail account somewhere and use it solely for your online dating contacts. Indicating your physical attributes is usually the next step. Height, weight, hair and eye color and body type are common pieces of data, while some sites ask
14、about piercings and tattoos. At this point, the process becomes increasingly detailed. Interests and activities, favorite sports, authors, music or movies, how you like to spend weekend these topics are all fair game. More personal questions might involve whether or not you have children, whether or
15、 not you want children, your religious beliefs and your political views. Pets, occupation, income and living situation are usually on the list as well. Next, youll be asked to answer many of these same questions a second time, but instead of indicating your own traits, youll be describing your ideal
16、 date. The site will then use this information and the information you provided about yourself to find suitable matches that you might want to contact. Most sites will also allow you to write about yourself in a more free form manner-a chance to get across more of your personality than a series of p
17、ull-down lists can offer. Posting a photo of yourself is another important step. Most sites report a huge increase in responses to ads that have photos posted. There will usually be guidelines as to what sorts of photo you can post, and there might be an approval process before it actually gets post
18、ed. In general, avoid posting revealing photos, dont post photos with people other than yourself in them and dont post glossy, “glam“ photos. Although you want to look your best, try and make sure the photo is accurate to how you currently look. If youre 35, your high school year look photo isnt a g
19、ood choice. If you recently dyed your hair purple, try to get a photo that reflects that. Theres one last rule that needs to be mentioned, and its an important one: Dont put personal identification information in your profile. This includes your address, phone-number, social security number, full na
20、me or place of employment. You might meet people on the site that youll want to share some of that information with down the line, but it should never be public knowledge. Now, lets go through some helpful tips on creating a profile that encourages people to contact you. Creating a Good Profile If y
21、ou browse through a typical dating site, you will see hundreds of ads from people who are “looking for Mr. Right. “Nearly everyone “enjoys a night out on the town, but also likes a quiet evening at home.“ It would be difficult to find someone who doesnt like a good sense of humor in a date. Begin wi
22、th the subject. Inject some humor into your subject-line or include one of your interests. “Bogart fan seeking unusual suspects.“ “Come sail away with this boating enthusiast/Styx fan.“ This is the first thing people will see, and it needs to stand out from the crowd. When it comes to the profile it
23、self, make sure you fill out the whole thing. Take your time and put some thought into it. It may seem tedious or difficult to describe yourself, but leaving sections blank or putting in short, generic answers makes it look like you arent really interested. Avoid phrases like, “I wouldnt normally us
24、e one of these dating services, but my friends put me up to this.“ Remember, your target audience is other people who are using this dating service. You dont want to start off by insulting them. Think of specific aspects of your personality that you want to highlight. Then, dont just state them- dem
25、onstrate them. Instead of, “I enjoy Stanley Kubrick films,“ say, “The other night I was watching A Clockwork Orange, and I found myself thinking it would be a lot more fun to watch and discuss it with someone else. “Humor is especially important. Not everyone shares the same sense of humor, so sayin
26、g “Im a funny person“ isnt sufficient. “I love quoting lines from Monty Python sketches and Simpsons episodes“ gives other users a better grasp of your personality. Another key to success is knowing what you want and putting it in your profile. Youll get more responses from people who are looking fo
27、r the same thing you are, whether you want to settle down with a long-term relationship or just want a date for Friday night. “I think there is more of a mental connection first by online dating,“ said one user, a teacher from New York. “Also, you know what youre looking for, not what your friends t
28、hink would be perfect for you.“ Last but not least, mind your grammar. Poor grammar and spelling doesnt lead to a good first impression, so take the time to get it right. 2 The first thing to do when you log in an online dating site is to enter your personal information. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 3 In a
