January is a very active month for online dating, webcam chat and video chat rooms as many singles make it a new year resolution to find someone special.  And since many people are much busier nowadays and rely on their computers to find a mate, many online dating and free video chat sites experience a surge in traffic and new memberships.  While many people have tried online dating, a big percentage of them don’t feel optimistic about actually finding love on online dating or webcam chat sites.  To help singles improve their odds or make it easier for new singles to start online dating, The Huffington Post recently published an article outlining 10 Ways To Online Date In The New Year.  Many of the suggestions posted in this article apply to visitors and new members of popchat.com.  Below are some suggestions and how they relate to dating on webcam chat sites:

Don’t Lie

Don’t lie about your looks, 6-pack, marital status or a job.  The best way to start a relationship is with an honest description of yourself.  Unfortunately many don’t follow this suggestion in video chat rooms and try to make themselves look good by creating a fake image about themselves.  In many cases it is easy to spot someone who lies, but in other situations sooner or later it would be apparent when someone is being dishonest.  It is very easy to loose friends or respect from other regular members in a video chat room this way.

Stick To One Site (or one video chat room)

As the article recommends to stick to one dating site and not to overwhelm yourself with tracking the progress on many dating sites, we also recommend to stick to one video chat room instead of constantly switching.  This would allow you to get to know people really well, and become and regular member.  Becoming a regular is the first step in meeting many people.  It helps you to relax, to have interesting conversations, to get introduced to other members, and therefore meet someone special quicker.

Be Specific

Most of people use generic terms describing themselves, such as love for sports, travel, working out, etc.  Be specific when describing yourself!  Talk about your favorite memories or ideal dates.

Be Upfront

Tell people exactly what you are looking for, weather it’s a long term relationship, a hook-up, or casual dating.  In video chat rooms things usually progress quickly.  People talk frankly and tend to be upfront with what they are looking for.

Don’t Give Up, Keep Up Video Chatting

It might take some time before you start making friends, and before you find someone special in a video chat room.  An important suggestion is to be patient and keep coming into the same video chat room.  Day after day you will meet more people, make friends, and eventually start having more personal conversation with some of the site members.  Stay positive and keep video chatting!

    It was a lot easier to get lied to back before video chatting was available. I’ll never forget the guy who told me he was 6’2″. When we finally met in person – after months of chatting – I discovered he was about 5’8″. I don’t mind dating guys shorter than me (I’m 5’10″) but if he lied about that, what else will he lie about?

    While I agree it’s important to be upfront, there’s such a thing as being *too* upfront. Be honest, but be polite and discreet, too.
