If you have not yet found that special, surely you already know that Facebook is a good place to find it. Since Facebook has quite a wide selection, it is not that easy to find someone who is just right for you. Here are tips on how to efficiently search the most popular social network to find interesting people:
Make yourself visible
Set the privacy settings so that your profile or at least some basic information is visible to friends of your friends and public. In that way you give more people the opportunity to notice you and if you have common interests, they might want to get in contact with you. Be honest with the information you post on Facebook, because lying will not get you what you want.
Friends of your friends
It certainly can be useful to search the profiles of friends of your Facebook friends. If you find someone for whom you believe that might potentially be your match, you can always ask the mutual friend about that someone. In that way, you can facilitate the search and be confident in the honesty, since almost all of the information, you can check with mutual friends.
Groups
Join groups that interest you. One good way to find a partner is by join to the groups that interest you and socializing with people of similar interests. That might be a good ground for potential relationship.
Patience is a virtue
Do not force anything because doing so might get you the opposite of what you want. If you are too strenuous, the person with who would otherwise have had a chance might lose the interest in you. Keep in mind that that person is probably not online all day. So if you send a message and the other person does not respond in the same day, there is no room for panic. If they do not respond after ten days or accept the friend request, there is no need for further trying, because you might be perceived as desperate. In that case, rather opt for someone new who is worth your effort.
