If this year is anything like the years past, as soon as the clock strikes midnight, we can expect to hear people use the phrase "New Year, New Me." With 2017 coming to an end, it's a great time to freshen up your profile and your approach to meeting your spouse so that 2018 can be your year to meet your spouse.
I know what you're thinking—I didn't do so well in my search this year. What can I possibly do to make next year different?
Here are three top tips to dating online in the New Year —
Take charge and send that message.
All too often, people sit on the sidelines and wait for that perfect person to approach them. Unfortunately, many times that never happens. Take charge and go after what you want. If you're interested in someone, let them know before they decide to pursue someone else. Have you been messaging back and forth with someone, but doesn't seem to be going anywhere? Suggest meeting for coffee!
Be open-minded.
Online dating opens up so many new opportunities to meet singles. Because of that, it's easy to set search restrictions to filter out anyone who doesn't meet our idea of Mr. or Mrs. Right. In this case, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Your idea of the perfect spouse may not be who God has in mind for you. Edit your age preferences by a few years, expand your distance preferences, open up your height requirements. Even one small change can mean missing or finding your spouse in 2018.
Freshen up your profile & your photos.
With so many new faces on CatholicMatch this time of year, make sure that you're doing your part to stand out.
