How Long Does Online Dating Usually Take?

Published: May 12, 2015 | Last Updated: February 28, 2021

I’m guessing that you have found this article while trying to find out how long online dating usually takes to be successful either because you are thinking of trying it, or you have been trying it some time and are having no luck.

Whichever scenario you are facing, the horrible truth is that you might as well ask how long a piece of string is.


Online dating will take as long as it takes. How long it takes to find a date, especially great date that you want to see again, can sometimes be very fast process. However, most of the time it can take months.

But don’t despair. In this article we are going to discuss how you can shorten the piece of string, so that you can find a date faster and get some romance in your life.

 

Why Does It Take So Long To Find A Date?

If you have been trying a dating site out for some time then you will be asking yourself this question.

And I know it’s easy to be filled with despair after a few months with not much luck, I’ve been there.  Things improved dramatically for me when I re-evaluated my profile and messaging strategy.  After that I averaged two dates a week (which presented it’s own set of problems!)

The truth is that online dating at its heart is a lottery. Some people will say how they found love quickly, while others say they never did. The simple fact is that two people have to be on the dating site at the same time, make contact, arrange a date and like each other for anyone to get love online.

Basically it’s a numbers game, but how you approach online dating can influence how long it takes to find a date. If you are not able to get at least a date a fortnight arranged then you are probably doing something wrong.

What you could be doing wrong usually falls into one or more of these three key areas:

1. You are on a dating site that just doesn’t have enough people of your age and outlook.

2. Your profile headline, text and photos are not attracting interest.

3. Your messaging strategy/responses is/are poor.

There are plenty of dating site out there, so try to use one that has millions of people on it. Alternatively, if you have a very specific interest, then search Google for that interest plus the words “dating site”.

In terms of dealing with your profile headline, the text within your profile and the photos you use on your profile, we have resources here on Taxi For Cupid to help.

If your messaging strategy is poor then you are probably are not aware of it. This is usually people’s biggest blindspot, they think they are doing well with messaging but they are really shutting off conversation or sending out the wrong signals.

You can read more about messaging tips and tricks here and here, both of which will help you massively.

If Internet dating is not working few currently then you need a new strategy. It may be that you need to tweak one or two small things, or you could just not be a good fit.

Whatever the reason, you can massively increase your chances of success by standing back and reassessing your entire dating strategy, from creating a profile, through to the photos use, through to the un-written signals you send and your messaging content.
