This week, Laurie Davis, the founder of eFlirt Expert, responded to readers’ questions about finding a mate online, using technology to flirt and dating offline ... With the founding of the eFlirt Expert in 2009, Ms. Davis began helping singles market themselves to become successful daters. She helps men and women of all sexual orientations create more skim-friendly and interactive online profiles and establish the ultimate virtual first impression.
Dating someone new means learning about each other’s quirky behaviors, emotional baggage, and the past experiences that have shaped both of your lives. But what if this involves a health or medical secret you’re hesitant to talk about?
Laurie Davis, an online dating expert based in New York and Boston, suggests asking a friend what sounds most intimidating about your condition and getting his or her advice on how to smooth it over.
"I honestly consider these sorts of things mobile- or micro-dating," said Laurie Davis, a digital dating coach and blogger, who brands herself as an eFlirt expert. "You should still be doing a regular online dating site, and this should be a tool to enhance your dating life." Daters could have more potential matches if they do both, she said. While some mobile sites or apps have unique features, they require less information compared to detailed profiles and search keywords or location compared to matching criteria, she said.
Online dating has exploded in recent years. We've all heard of people on sites like Match.com, eHarmony.com, or PlentyofFish.com. Most successful entrepreneurs will tell you that opportunity is everywhere and its no different with the explosion of the online dating industry. Laurie Davis has jumped on this opportunity and has turned herself into the eFlirt Expert optimizing peoples online dating profiles.
... And while the economic downturn has made it more difficult for entrepreneurs to get funding, it can encourage innovation out of necessity for some like eFlirt Expert founder and Northeastern student Laurie Davis. Davis said she decided to apply her marketing skills elsewhere: to online dating. She founded eFlirt Expert, an online service offering coaching and online dating profile makeovers for clients.
