3 Tips To Ending That Cold Spell in your Online Dating Life

First of all, you need to define a cold streak.

For some people, not hearing from online dating prospects, after one day — means a cold streak. Others think it’s perfectly normal not to hear from 20 online prospects they’ve queried after three weeks. It all depends on what’s normal for you — and for others. Personally, I advise people who haven’t heard from someone they don’t know, in a week, to forget about them. It’s not happening.

Like real estate, if a property is on the market too long, people assume there’s something wrong with it. A trick among realtors is to take a property off the market, and re-list it as a new property. Take a lesson from the realtors and relist your photo and/or profile.

Third, you may need to try a new dating site. Or else, try opening up the segment of people to whom you’re interested. If you’re 50 and you only want 18 to 21 year olds, you might do well to expand your age range of prospective dates by a few decades. While a 21 year old may not be interested, a 31 year old might be! Take some filters off.
