If you are a busy entrepreneur or marketer, chances are you don't have a lot of spare time to devote to the dating scene. There is just not a lot of time when you are busy building your business brand. And if you are bootstrapping a startup, then you may not have the finances to find a match the old fashioned way or go on too many random dates set up by your friends and family. Time is money after all! But you do need some work-life balance, and you would probably like to find your true match in the near future.
Enter the world of online dating. Dating websites are trending worldwide with nearly every demographic because everyone knows that dating websites work incredibly well! Time is your most valuable asset so stop wasting it on awkward blind dates, pickup lines, or speed dating events. Dating sites are simply a better way, especially for busy professionals that don't have a lot of time to get out and meet new people.
Dating sites are convenient, practical, and have a strong return on investment. What makes them even better is that there are plenty of online dating sites that align with your lean budget or are completely free of charge! If the dating website is low cost or free, then there is no risk and it's all upside! Online dating sites have worked for me and they will work for you too!
I am actually a dating website success story. For 5 years after college I worked all the time building up my businesses, brands, blogs, credentials and clientele. I didn't have a lot of time (or investment capital) to waste, so I turned to a dating site. Within a matter of a couple months I found my better half! Fast forward another 9 years and I recently celebrated my 7 year wedding anniversary with my wife. In fact, we just recently got back from traveling to Mexico, Canada, and Europe to celebrate our milestone! Every day I am grateful that my associate told me to take a chance on a free dating website that connected me with my future wife in such a short amount of time! It was fate, and the free dating website helped facilitate it.
I know plenty of other busy and professionally accomplished friends and family members that found their current boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife on an online dating site within just weeks or months!
Here's how to get started and find true love through dating sites:
Dating Website A/B Testing
There are free dating websites for nearly every type of person these days. They could be based on location, age, ethnicity, religion, parental status, body type, occupation, common interests, or many other potential factors. Some examples of these wonderful websites are the dating niche sites on We Love Dates in the United Kingdom.
Profile Optimization
Once you find the right niche dating website, it's time to sign up for free! Make sure to complete your profile including answering all questions you feel comfortable answering, answering questions, and filling out all fields honestly. Filling out all the field shows others looking at your dating profile that you are invested in the process and serious about finding someone.
Think about it like filling out a social media profile, resume, or job application. You want to market yourself but you also want to be honest and accurate.
Create Engagement
Now that you've optimized your page, it's time to create some engagement (pun intended) and get a conversation going. Make that pivotal first move! Sitting around waiting for Mr or Mrs Right to message you isn't usually the best way to go. You need to be proactive and check out profiles, start discussions, and getting some dates scheduled in your calendar. You know from experience that just sitting around won't bring about the desired results online.
Exceptional CX
Take your date on some fun and unique dating experiences beyond the basic bar, crowded restaurant, or lame movie. Visit a beautiful vineyard or popular new brewery, play some mini golf, take a cooking lesson, head to a football game, or go to a couples paint and wine night. Go to the local health club or gym and do an exercise class! Get out of the office and do something that isn't work related.
But most importantly you should be respectful, punctual and be honest. If things aren't going well then don't ghost them, be clear but courteous about telling them it isn't working out and that you both should see other people. At least you can stay connected on LinkedIn!
I hope you enjoyed this article about how busy entrepreneurs and marketers use dating websites to find their true match.
