EliteSingles is a dating site designed for well-educated, successful professionals and business people. Consequently, our members represent some of the most sought-after available singles anywhere. If you’re an EliteSingles member, we not only want you to be picky; we expect you to be.
Our dating algorithm is designed to match highly compatible individuals. Unlike a swiping site where you could spend endless hours selecting profiles based on preferences, age, and geography, the EliteSingles algorithm database scours millions of member profiles to find the ones that match your dating must-haves. EliteSingles is free to try, and you can upgrade to a Premium membership to unlock the full functionality of the Android or iOS app.
Choosing Wisely: How Selectivity Ensures True Compatibility
Have you ever heard a friend say, “You’re being too picky?” or “What’s the big deal? It’s just one date.” At EliteSingles, we see pickiness as a desirable quality. We understand that many failed relationships start with one or both people making too many compromises in the beginning. If you want to meet someone with whom you really have a chance to build your life, you should set high standards. So, how do you become more selective? These tips will not only help you put your best foot forward on the EliteSingles dating app, but they can assist you in setting priorities for your future relationship.
1) Decide What’s Important to You – Dating “Must-Haves”
Have you ever really sat down and considered what you want in a partner? If not, this is an excellent starting point. You may want to take a little time to consider what should go on your list. Start with your dating must-haves. For example, if you want children, it’s pretty important to have a partner who’s open to it. If you work long hours toward your career goals — as many EliteSingles members do — it’s important that you have a partner who understands your drive.
You can then move on from your dating must-haves to your strong preferences. These are qualities that you prefer but are not absolutely necessary to the success of a relationship. Finally, include the things that would be nice to have in a partner. Remember, you’re being picky, so your list should be long and comprehensive. Once you’ve developed your list, prioritize it with the dealbreakers going right at the top. It will help you limit your selections down the road.
2) Develop a Plan for Narrowing Down Your Choices
Assuming that you don’t want to go on multiple dates with someone who is not going to be able to give you the things you want, it’s important to come up with a plan for eliminating potential partners who just aren’t viable.
At EliteSingles, we encourage people to communicate through the app’s DM system while they get to know one another. If you have a question about someone that’s not answered by their profile, you can simply ask them. “Do you lead a healthy lifestyle?” “Is religion important to you?” You’ll find you can save yourself a lot of time and energy just by asking the right questions.
If you meet someone outside of a dating app, you can always ask questions on the first date. It may be disappointing, but it’s not as bad as spending months with someone who is unsuitable for you.
3) Cast a Wide Dating Net
It just makes sense that the more particular you are, the more people you’ll have to contact to find partners with potential. That means you’ll need a dating app/site that offers many choices. EliteSingles has approximately 12.5 million members and acquiring thousands of new members globally every month. We have over 4 million members in the United States alone.
EliteSingles: Curating Matches for Educated and Ambitious Singles
The EliteSingles site and the app are designed for people who are highly particular about what they’re looking for and the type of person they want to date. The dating algorithm prioritizes compatibility, so you can filter results to emphasize the qualities you’re looking for. Here’s how EliteSingles curates a list of matches for you.
When you sign up for EliteSingles, you’ll complete an extensive dating questionnaire. This provides information to our dating algorithm about who you are, your personality traits, and what type of person you’re looking for. Some of it will be obvious: location, age range, height preference, gender preference, etc. These are dating must-haves, and EliteSingles takes them into account. Other questions are more esoteric. They’re designed to learn about your personality type.
The algorithm will then search our member base to determine the candidates in your area who are most compatible with your needs. Then, it will further limit the selection to those candidates who are seeking someone just like you. This process occurs in seconds, and you will receive a list of great picks for you. If you don’t think someone on your list would be a good partner, you can choose not to connect. We have new members joining us every day.
For busy professionals looking for love, there is really no other way to go. You can try EliteSingles with a Basic membership, but we recommend upgrading to Premium to unlock the full functionality of the app.
High Standards, Open Heart: How to Stay Selective Without Missing Opportunities
You’ve set high standards, and you’ve entered a large dating pool like EliteSingles. We know that there are going to be plenty of great candidates who are just not right for you. So, how do you avoid being so picky that you blow a great opportunity? Here are a few suggestions to make sure you give viable candidates the opportunity they deserve.
- Don’t Let Fear of Missing Out Rule Your Decision – If you don’t feel right about a potential match, it’s okay to let them go. There are plenty of others out there, and being overly cautious about cutting ties may wind you up in a relationship that isn’t right for you.
- Second Chances – If you feel like someone deserves a second chance, give it to them. No one is perfect in every interaction, and many of us are nervous early on in a relationship. Be cautious about giving third and fourth chances, though.
- Adjust Your Standards – It’s important that you don’t lower your standards, but you might meet a partner who checks all but one of your boxes. If that’s a high-priority quality for you — must want children, well-educated, non-smoker, etc. — there may not be room for compromise. However, you might have listed some qualities that are just not as important to you.
- Don’t Rush Decisions – If you’re being particular, it’s important not to spend too much time with a match who is just not going to meet your needs. But you also don’t need to rush. You can set a limit of three dates, for example. If you’re still not feeling it after a third date, chances are good it won’t get better after four or five.
