my response to the article and many of my friends who've had a similar experience with online dating boils down to 'ur doin it rong'. here are some tips: * CAREFULLY write your profile so that it will attract the kind of person you'd like to meet. be playful, fun, and funny. * DO NOT BE OVERLY SERIOUS: unfortunately there's still a bit of a social stigma against online dating so people are often already on their guard and will already be wary of everything they read. so keep the profile and messages light and playful. * okcupid has a great feature that lets you see who has visited your profile, use this to your advantage. you've already carefully written your profile to attract your ideal partner, so see who it's attracted. if someone has visited your profile a couple times already, the chances that they'd be receptive to a message are much higher * do not get hung up on a single person. "OMGZ my soulmate didn't reply to my message! IM FOREVER ALONE!!" well, if you two were truly compatible, don't you think they'd find your profile and message interesting? tl;dr be playful, have fun, and don't take yourself too seriously
