Become More Than Just A Profile Using Social Networking.

Whether you join a dating site for people with herpes or one of the huge commercial dating sites, the end result may still be the same. There may be nobody in your area or the competition may be so huge, it's daunting. So, what do you do to get noticed or pass the time until that perfect one joins? This is where the social networking comes in.

Social networking is the key to your success. It's all in the name. You do what it says on the tin.

Be social and network.

Use networks like H-YPE.com to interact with other members and having fun doing it. Stand out from the crowd without being a prat. It's obvious that a profile with a picture gets more attention than one without a photo right? So what do you do when lots of members have their photo attached to their profile because they feel safer on H-YPE than on most other herpes/HPV dating sites?

Take the next step on the H-YPE Social Network and allow your head to pop above the crowd. Make yourself even more visible to other members by:

• popping into the chat room (best time for that is late evenings after about 9pm)
• attending events, or better still, arrange one yourself
• answer people's questions in the forum or start an interesting thread from scratch
• join a group to meet others with similar interests and if there isn't one you like, then start a new one
• write a blog about whatever you like and comment on other's blogs
• add a video to your profile introducing yourself making sure to keep it short and sweet.

In doing these things you are being proactive. All these things will make you even more visible to the crowd because you are now standing out, and for the right reasons too. Remember, it's "Survival of the Fittest". No-one will do this for you. You have to do it yourself.

Don't be that person that says, "No-one ever emails me." Take control of your situation and go to them.

We have created the stage for you to shine. Use H-YPE as your tool to socialise and network. 

Look at Facebook for example. It's not a dating site but people do meet and date through that social network as they do on the major dating sites. You have friends, wall posts, photos, comments, etc, as you have on H-YPE, so make the most of these facilities.

In a perfect world, you would go online, click a profile and find that perfect person that lives around the corner from you. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case and having herpes and/or HPV doesn’t make it any easier. What social networking does is it opens your search radius and that of others. You may catch the eye of that perfect one, who came across your profile, and lives an only hour away. We know this happens and have the marriages to prove it!

So, don’t be shy, jump in and happy networking!
