A small percentage of people subscribe to an online dating site and leave it within the first month or two. 

They had certain expectations that weren’t met and now unfortunately, they have given up and gotten the feeling that internet dating doesn’t work.

Here are some of the top reasons why some people give up.

High Expectations

Some people hear the numerous success stories and became very hopeful.

Therefore, they excitedly subscribe to a dating service online expecting the same wonderful sparks to fly for them.

Unfortunately, within a very short time span they have not received the kind of attention that they were seeking and as a result have given up.

Being optimistic, even excited is fine.

However, you must always keep your expectations within reason.

Having really high expectations, expecting love and companionship to fall into your lap as quick as you can withdraw money out of the ATM would be setting yourself up for a fast let down.

Look at internet dating as more of a slow and steady boil into fruition, than a TV dinner that is microwaved in seconds.

Subscribed To The Wrong Dating Site

This is an easy problem to avoid and yet people do it time and time again.

If you are looking for a serious long-term relationship, then you need to do your research and find an internet dating site that has a good track record. 

Subscribing to just about any dating website simply because they call themselves a dating site or they are easier on your wallet is a big mistake.

There are internet dating websites that will cater to just about every need.

Figure what yours is, take the time to do some research, then subscribe to an online dating service that will give you the best chance for success.

Received Too Many Bad Matches

People tend to give up within their first one to two months because of the incompatible matches that they continue to receive on the online dating site.

They feel that they have been clear about what they are looking for and yet they keep receiving these incompatible matches.

In your case, you may have chosen the wrong dating site.

As a result, it’s understandable to become frustrated when you continuously receive bad matches, particularly when you have been clear about exactly what you want in your match preferences.

This is a problem that can easily be remedied by simply changing dating sites.

There are some internet dating sites that are simply terrible at matchmaking and others that are very, very good.

Again, this is where you want to do your research and pick a better dating site that has a track record of success.

Bad Emails

They may have been at the receiving end of numerous bad emails from other members on the dating site.

This can easily be the case for some people and can be very frustrating.

However, bad emails can be easily avoided by making a handful of changes on your online dating profile.

Do your research on how to write an online dating profile and the types of photos you should be uploading into it.

A lot of people ignore doing this. 

Although, nothing you do can totally eradicate receiving bad emails to your inbox, paying attention to these two factors can greatly reduce the number of bad emails that you will receive. 

Not Enough Messages

Unfortunately, some people will subscribe to an online dating site and receive very little, if not any email messages at all in their first month or two and as a result give up on internet dating.

Again, this is a problem that can be easily remedied by examining your dating profile and your photos.

You have to have effective profiles in order to receive messages.

An online dating site is not some kind of magical kingdom that grants you a companion simply because you put up a profile and some photos.

There is a method to it.

In order to receive messages, you have to make your profile attractive and thereby have it stand out from the rest.

These are very frequent reasons why some people give up on a dating site within the first one or two months.

These reasons can be easily avoided by simply paying attention to some particular details within yourself and on your profile.

A large number of people find love and companionship through online dating sites.

There is no reason why you cannot be a part of this group.
