Starting dating again - it's been a while!

[Hyggeligt]

I have joined the dating thread, but was hoping that there may be some words of wisdom and advice that some of you may be able to offer...
I divorced 2 years ago, am a single parent and work full time - so don't have heaps of time to myself, but am wanting to start dating again, and using online dating( real life doesn't really throw me any opportunities to meet single guys)
I would really appreciate any advice or tips on how to set up a 'good' profile, what to avoid and what red flags to look for in others... It's all a bit daunting...

I joined Match and had some lovely dates before meeting DP. These helped me:

• Treat it as an opportunity to have some fun and meet some new people. Don't get too invested in the chats or take them too seriously.
• Meet early. He might be hilarious in messages, but if you don't find him attractive in real life you've wasted time and effort.
• Think about what you want from a potential partner and then write your profile to match. E.g. 'Blue eyed woman seeks kind, funny, man with an interest in jam making...'
• Don't linger if it doesn't feel right.
• Be aware of what you bring to the table and talk about it in your profile. If you are well educated, have a pilot's licence, breed ducks, do synchronised swimming, etc. mention it - it is interesting and is a talking point.
• choose photos you like, not lots of selfies, and photos that are flattering but unmistakeably you.

Have a lot of fun. Most of the men are lovely. I had a great time, though six dates in five days was overdoing it a bit

Thanks lelly I have joined okcupid, but think Match sounds good.
Great advice, I'll bear it all in mind.
I had a few very odd introductory messages last night!!
