五大妙招提升網絡相親成功率
If you are new to online dating, it can be hard to understand, with numerous pages and questions to fill out, profile pictures to add in, text-style lingo, blank responses and site navigations. However, persevere and there could be something - or someone - worth while waiting for you at the end.
對那些剛嘗試網絡相親的人們來說，冗長的資料填寫、圖片上傳、短信風格的話語、空白迴應以及網站導航都很難讓人理解。但是，如果你堅持下去，或許會遇到某些值得等待的人或事哦！
To help you on your journey we've compiled a list of what to avoid and why…
爲了讓你的網絡相親道路更加順暢，我們特意準備了一系列網上相親禁忌及其原因。
謹記：少即是多 Remember less is more
When writing or compiling your profile try to think about what keeps you keen and interested when reading other profiles. Keeping things short and sweet not only shows people that you are concise and don't waffle, but that you also know what you want.
填寫、編輯自己的個人信息時，試想一下別人的哪些信息能吸引你。親切簡潔的語言彰顯了你簡明的個性，不僅不會被誤認爲是在胡扯，還讓對方知道你是一個瞭解自己想要什麼的人。
信息要真實 Keep it real
When you upload images of yourself some people tend to leave in their best pics. However, if the photo is 15 years old and show you with a long-lost flat stomach and full head of hair, then keep it honest - ask a friend to take some updated versions instead. The same works with claiming you are a millionaire, own a yacht and drive a Ferrari - it's only impressive if it's true. There is no point in lying; people always find out.
上傳相片時，人們總挑選自己認爲最好的呈現給大家。但如果是15年前的照片，那時的你還沒有小肚子，頭髮也沒有脫落，勸你還是誠實點--上傳一些最新的照片吧。同理，不要妄稱自己是個百萬富翁，擁有遊艇和法拉利--這些如果是真實的才能讓人印象深刻。在這些問題上撒謊無濟於事，因爲謊言總有一天會被人們識破。
切勿借錢給網友 Never, ever, give away money
No matter how well you get to know someone or feel your relationship has blossomed online, or in the flesh, never ever lend out money - whatever the circumstance.
不管你對TA有多瞭解，也不管你們在網上甚至現實生活中愛得多麼死去活來，不要借錢給對方--不管什麼情況都不能借。
保持親切隨和 Always be polite
In reality you wouldn't stop chatting to someone in the street mid-flow if they were boring you in a conversation; however, online you can. If an email conversation starts out well but then you realise this person isn't 'the one' then politely back away. Failing that, if they don't take the hint, then their emails conveniently getting 'lost in cyberspace' or ignoring all contact should also work.
現實生活中，即便對他人的談話感到厭煩不已，你也不會斷然終止對話。但在網上卻可以。如果最初的郵件往來很好，後來卻發現對方不是想要的那個"真命天子"，你大可禮貌地終止這種交流。如果對方沒看懂這種暗示，你還可以假裝沒收到郵件或者直接忽略這種溝通方式。
不要操之過急 Don't expect too much too soon
Online dating takes time. Therefore, buying a one month subscription to an online dating site seems a bit optimistic. You need to set goals and stick to them and if you follow the rules above and allow a relationship to blossom over time, then maybe, just maybe, Prince Charming will be waiting to carry you off into the sunset…
網上相親需要時間。因此，在某個相親網站上訂購包月服務是比較樂觀的。你需要確立明確的目標並堅持不懈地努力。如果你遵循上述規則，隨着時間的積累，感情慢慢昇華，或許你的白馬王子就在不遠處，等着與你一起欣賞日落美景……
