Your Photo - The Key to Successful Online Dating
You’ll read it at most online dating sites - but how much notice do we really take of it.
Statistics show that if you have a photo posted, you’re much more likely to get visits, be invited to chat or receive emails.
Regrettably, some people take this to mean any photo, however poorly taken, is better than none.
However, the statistics would probably also show that those grainy “taken on my webcam” photos are probably not the most attractive or likely way to induce contact from the opposite sex !
If you’re serious about finding a partner through online dating, it’s worth paying some attention to your photo. After all, that’s usually the first thing that any potential partner is going to see of you.
If you’re not much of a photographer, it’s worth taking a friend into your confidence and asking them for help. Most people have access to or own a decent digital camera, these can take far more flattering photos than your webcam or a photo booth.
Try taking photos on a bright day, so that you don’t need to use much or any flashlight. Take several pictures, closeup, different angles, smiling or just happy. Then ask one or two friends which they prefer - it’s hard to make a judgement yourself of what’s a good and flattering likeness of you.
Just do it - don’t put it off, grab a friend and a camera, and replace any unsightly, non-flattering photo with one that’ll be attractive and get people to click to view your profile.
If you’re not happy about getting free help from friends and family, if you live in the US or Canada, you could try Look Better Online who offer a professional service in major cities or you could try using a local professional photographer, but be sure to get a firm quote for their services first.
Remember, you could be getting five times as many emails, just by having a good photo online, so don’t delay, try changing it today!

Free Christian Dating Services
I have a number of things to share about free Christian dating services. First of all, there are not many true free Christian dating services out there. Secondly, while there is one major plus to using a free Christian dating service (like the price), there is also one major disadvantage you should know about.
Free Christian Dating Service Drawback
Smaller Databases
Generally, free Christian dating services simply do not have as large a number of available people in their search databases. The end result of this is that it is much more difficult to find a soul mate based on variables like age, appearance and location. Still, it is our opinion that you should still give free Christian dating services a try. Why not? You have nothing to lose, and all to gain.
Just remember like most anything else in this life, you get what you pay for, except when it comes to our sins. That’s right. Jesus paid it all for us:
Bible Verse of Day
-For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord- Romans 6:23
