#1 Get Serious About Your Goals

If you are serious about online dating enough to pay for a service, invest some time into figuring out what your goals are and what characteristics your looking for in a potential date. This is not facebook, myspace, or any other social networking site... it's dating. While playing the field and going out on "lots" of dates may sound like fun, you'll be wasting your time if there is no rhyme or reason to your approach. Get focused, figure out what you want, and go for it.
