Tips For Success

CupidNights is a dating site that offers you picture profiles, secure mailing (your real address is never revealed), and flirty live chat. By taking a couple of minutes to read the following advice, you will not only increase your chances of getting the maximum benefit from our service but also of meeting your perfect partner into the bargain.

Registering
At CupidNights you will find hundreds of attractive singles in the London area who want to meet someone just like you. It doesn't cost anything to sign-up as we offer all new registrants a 48-hour FREE trial so you can discover what the site has to offer you before deciding whether to upgrade to Full membership status.

When creating your own profile, the first thing you must do is make sure it appeals to the type of person that you hope to meet. Be upbeat and positive in the way you express yourself and emphasise the attributes that will make you attractive to others. This isn't the moment for modesty; if you believe you're pretty darn attractive, then be sure to say so. And if you think you're the life and soul of any party, then use terms like 'extrovert' and 'outgoing' when you describe yourself. You should complete every section of your on line profile because if you don't, it looks like you can't really be bothered and no-one will take the time to respond to you. You are given the choice of uploading a photo of yourself and we strongly recommend that you actually do so as you'll receive many more messages than if you don't. If you don't think it's a very flattering likeness, you can always say so in your description.

Search
Once you've registered your details, created your profile and uploaded your photo(s), you've now got to choose the type of person that you're hoping to meet. At CupidNights, our unique integrated technologies allow you to refine your search for a partner to those members who you will not only find physically attractive, but who also have the personality traits and lifestyle interests which are most compatible with your own. But be realistic in your quest. If, for example, you're a forty-five year old guy, there is little point in contacting girls who are significantly younger than you as you'll probably find that they wont respond and even if they do, it'll be to say 'no thanks!' Take the time to read everything in the profile of anyone you are interested in and be honest with yourself as to whether that person is really a suitable match or not.

Sending & Receiving Messages
Remember that first impressions really do matter. Once you have found someone you think you might like, don't just send a message saying 'I like your profile, please contact me', but be sure to include some information about yourself which is relevant to that person. If you think you have a similar outlook on life and similar interests, then say so in your email. Messages that make you sound happy, fun and confident also work well and remember, humour is a real ice-breaker so there is no need to come across as too serious. This is a dating site, it's not a job application! If you receive an email from a member and you don't think that person is right for you, you should at least acknowledge receipt with a short note which explains that you don't think you would be compatible with each other. It will then stop that person sending you a 'Did you get my last email?' message. And be patient. If you don't receive an immediate response from someone you have messaged, it may be because they are unable to check for personal emails whilst at work or they only access their computers at the weekend. We would advise against sending an unsolicited second message to anyone. If you don't hear anything after a few days, then move on to someone else. We have a great many members here at CupidNights so you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket.

Talking
We don't recommend that you go straight from the messaging system on this dating site to a face to face meeting. If you are enjoying an email conversation with a particular member, the next step is to have a telephone conversation with them to see if the chemistry is still there when you speak. Don't request somebody's phone number in your initial email to them as this will probably frighten them off, but after three or four messages both ways, the next step is to have a chat. If you have spent some time in an email conversation with someone and they will not allow the situation to progress to a conversation, then they are either not serious about meeting anyone or they have decided not to take things further with you. Try someone else! You will find plenty of London based singles at CupidNights so you don't have to feel spoilt for choice.

SMS Text Dating
As well as the secure mailing and interactive voice-messaging systems at CupidNights, we also offer an SMS text chat service which is available 24/7. It only takes a couple of minutes to register and you can refine your search to people in the age group, gender and post-code location of your choice. You can chat and flirt with as many people as you like and if you give this service a try, you will greatly increase your chances of meeting that special someone.

Be Safe
We don't want to patronise you with a load of advice about what you should and shouldn't do when you go on a date with another member of our site but we still advise you to take a few simple steps when going out with someone for the first time. Always make sure you have the correct 'phone number for that person before you agree to a date and make sure you give that number to a friend or family member before setting out. And if you have a mobile 'phone of your own, remember to take it with you. If you're meeting someone for the first time, it's best to do so in a public place like a bar, cafe or restaurant. If s/he is genuine, they wont mind these few straightforward precautions. If you have any doubts about the person you have arranged to meet, it is best to cancel the date altogether and move on to someone else.
