Contact the members that YOU like the look of, not the other way round.\u00a0\u00a0 I always say this, but you must be proactive if you want to get good results.\u00a0\u00a0 By making contact yourself then you are initiating correspondence with quality people that are a great match for you.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, Winking isn&#8217;t a great strategy. It comes across as lazy as it appears you can&#8217;t be bothered to to write a proper message.\u00a0 It doens&#8217;t make anyone feel special and you run the risk of turning someone off before you&#8217;ve even spoken.\u00a0 Every now and again it can work, providing you follow up with a message once you can see they&#8217;ve viewed your profile.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>James Preece &#8211; The Dating Guru<\/p>\n<p>www.asiansinglesolution.com<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a letter to the Dating Guru which you might find useful &nbsp; &#8220;Dear James,\u00a0 I seem to be proving popular on Asiansinglesolution.com as I&#8217;ve had 100 emails and over 200 winks.\u00a0 However, I&#8217;ve not met anyone perfect yet.\u00a0 Can you give me any advice to increase my chances?\u00a0 Thanks, K&#8221; Hi K, Thank you [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-your-dating-questions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1734"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1734\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1775,"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1734\/revisions\/1775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asiansinglesolution.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
