Some singles who don't have success on internet dating sites resort to hiring dating coaches. While they can charge up to $100 per hour (or more!), there could be several benefits to getting some unbiased opinions on your profile.

Friends are often relied on to help pick out profile pics or offer descriptive words but many times they will just tell you what they think you want to hear. Someone who doesn't know you, like a dating coach, can give you an outsider's perspective and will probably be more objective.

Plus, if you choose a professional who has been assisting singles for a significant amount of time, they'll probably know which online dating sites are best for you.

Their expertise may extend offline as well, for those who need advice when meeting an online date in person. However, it's important to still be yourself and not take in so much advice that you're saying and doing things you wouldn't normally do. Take their suggestions and add your own twist.

The only problem of partnering with a dating coach is the price. They're not cheap. Although, some will offer the first session free. You can also download free e-books or sign up for free newsletters.

Don't forget that Planet Love Match® has dating experts who are always happy to share their wisdom too!
