Always the bridesmaid and never the bride?
There’s still time to find the perfect date for that June wedding invitation sitting on your desk.
Here are a few of my cyber-dating tips for friends of the bride to avoid June gloom and doom. You may be dateless– but not for long.
Cyber-Dating Tip #1. Sign up for 3-5 online dating sites and get organized for the huge amounts of replies you will be receiving. Check out the list of sites in our Dating Community. It will start raining men!
Cyber-Dating Tip #2. Don’t have a date? Initiate. Although I usually tell women to wait for the men to write, the clock is ticking and you still have the opportunity to bring a terrific date to the wedding. Narrow your search to those who are geographically desirable and choose men to write to. They will be so flattered to be hearing from you, that you will be juggling your calendar with a smile.
Cyber-Dating Tip #3. Make sure you have an irresistible profile. How do you accomplish this? Keep the essays short and go ahead and advertise for a good dancing partner or someone who enjoys the same activities. ?Make sure you have at least three photos online, and if you have five terrific shots, upload them. Show yourself enjoying an event.
Cyber-Dating Tip #4. Go on three dates a day. Does this sound impossible of frightening to you? Start with coffee in the morning, meet for a casual lunch during the day, and in the afternoon, try coffee or drinks. You may be so pleased with the results that one of these dates could turn into a dinner date.
Cyber-Dating Tip #5. Even if the date goes well, don’t mention the wedding invitation on the first date. Remember, you are the bridesmaid, not the soon-to-be bride.
