This week, Lyn is joined by relationship expert, dating coach and professional matchmaker Abi Blears, to discuss the highs and lows of dating online; the things you can do to keep yourself safe and happy, and how to make the most of finding love on the web. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people perceive that online dating is a negative experience, but the figures show that huge numbers of people find lasting love. Online dating needs an image change! Remember that dating online requires a degree of salesmanship when it comes to your profile. Retain a little mystery, but ensure that you're making yourself attractive in terms of pictures, attitude and outlook. The platform you choose as your base for online dating makes a huge difference to your success rate and to the type of people you see and meet.  We cannot always control our online dating experience. But if for some reason we do have a negative experience after connecting with someone, it’s crucial to remember that it is not your fault.  Always bear in mind that although there are down sides to online dating, there are also huge positives. Love can be found out there. So take a risk and give it a try. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’ve always been really interested in human beings’ ’The impression that you give on a photograph says a lot about you’ ‘Don’t be afraid to experiment with what you put on your profile’ ’See online dating as something you spend a small amount of time on each day, and don’t focus too heavily on the outcome' VALUABLE RESOURCES Hearts Entwined Podcast -Apple Podcasts (iTunes) -Spotify -Stitcher ABOUT THE GUEST Abi Blears is a freelance matchmaker, headhunter and dating coach at London based award-winning matchmaking company Little Black Book.
