I've had awesome success with online game, and it's because of a few small things.

1) Make your profile readable, fun, and DIFFERENT

2) Make your pictures stand out as thumbnails, not just as full size pictures

3) Make your messages fun but don't be too weird...a lot of openers are a bit extreme

4) Get her # as soon as you have any rhythm between you two. Not before...but also, don't wait. Text game is the absolute KEY. Honestly, I owe all my success to it. You have access to her wherever she is, whenever, and in a more personal way. Read up guys.

5) Don't be someone you're not. Don't get me wrong, I hate the phrase "just be yourself." Fuck that, be who you want to be...but it has to match up with who you can be in person too. If you want to act like a confident/funny guy online, be ready to back that up when you meet her or it won't work.

6) SIMPLE first dates are less threatening. Coffee is key.

The rest is easy.
