Twelve Strategies For Finding A Date On Facebook Pt. 1
With the explosion in popularity of social networking sites, Facebook has taken the lead as the king of the pack. Many people take social networking to mean just keeping up with friends, and sharing status updates with family. But, there are many other uses, and one of them is dating. Look it’s simple you have two single people who have similar interests, does it really matter how they meet?
Facebook has opened up the opportunity for people to screen and select a person they may be interested in dating, and much of this can be done without ever saying a word to the person. With this new found avenue to meet people, there are still some rules and tactics that should be followed. This is part one of a three part article on strategies you should use when trying to find a date on Facebook.
1. – Have a good profile picture
This is probably the biggest mistake most people make, first have a picture of yourself and not your favorite beer can. When you start your pursuit they are going to first want to know what you look like, and if they click on your profile and see a Bud Light can you may not get too far.
Your ideal photo should be casual and “honest” rather than something overly posed you want it to be a true reflection of who you are. Also remember that your photo can be changed fairly frequently, so you do not have to just stick to one photo.
2. – Sculpt your image
View your profile as a first impression, and maintain a bit of mystery. Keep things simple by not posting tons of silly quizzes, boxes or widgets on your page, and avoid overwhelming it with a distracting or flashy 
background. Also, think about what you’re advertising. There are slots for several preferences and identifying factors on all social networking sites. Stay away from listing anything that could become a deal breaker for a woman right off the bat such as not wanting kids or not believing in marriage.
Another thing that has no place on your page is your ex. We know that social networking sites truly are a way for everyone to stay in touch, but it’s a little tacky to broadcast your friendly relationship with your former flame. Also, remove from your page anything that could be offensive or make you look like a tool. If your buddies write distasteful comments all over your wall, women are going to be turned off which is why there’s a clever little “delete” button for all those comments to quickly disappear.
As for the ladies use the permissions tools on Facebook to your advantage, you don’t need to advertise all your bikini photos right off the bat. Remember what your page says about you will determine what kind of men you attract.
3. – Be interesting
People who constantly update their pages and profiles, and post rapid status updates are annoying. However, a strategically timed or placed status message or vacation album may help your cause. You are allowed to boast a bit, so let it spill that you’re going on a Caribbean cruise or flying to Paris for business.
While it’s not cool to reveal too much about your social and dating life, it is OK to show you actually go out on weekends. Keep your updates vague by writing that you are “heading downtown.” This will make your potential partner wonder exactly where you’re off to and if maybe next time, they can join you.
4. – Join fan pages and interest groups
Joining several fan and group pages will take your dating pool to the next level. Connecting with a person is good, but finding one that actually enjoys your favorite sports team, movie genre or comedian is even better.
An added bonus to joining groups is that they might organize local meets. You’ll be able to introduce yourself to one of the attractive female members in a non-awkward situation and ask her out in person, if you hit it off.
That would be the best way because despite this being the new age, some people still feel awkward about being approached online. So if you can use an event where you know the person you have your eye on will be there, then a chance meeting in person could be in your future.
