1. Your profile MUST include a piccy of you holding a cute dog. As well as one of you and at least one attractive female - even if it's your sister (she won't know)
2. In your bio you must state that you are happy to be a stepdad for the right woman
3. Never use a canned opener. Research shows that the best opener is between 200-350 words long. Base it on her job, looks, interests etc.
4. If she doesn't respond within an hour, message again. Repeat every hour until you get a response. If she unmatches, it must have been a bot.
5. Don't rush to get her number. You want to message back and forth for at least a week to built rapport.
6. When you get her number and transition to Whatsapp etc, make sure your profile pic is you looking natural. E.g. you at work, videogaming, smoking dope, drinking etc.
7. When you start talking about meeting up, let her choose the time and place. She needs to feel comfortable to express herself. Let her know that you're available whenever she needs. Keep your schedule completely open to make sure you can meet when she wants.
8. When a date is set, cease communication with all other matches, you need to focus all your energy on her.
9. Pay for the highest subscription on Tinder/Bumble etc, so you get noticed more
10. When on the date and before she arrives, unmatch everyone else. She might ask to see your Tinder, you need to show her that she is number 1 and it's only her you want to be with. She will lose attraction immediately if she sees that you talk to other women.

Hope this helps
