Single soldiers considering online dating must make sure they get an appropriate photo to use as a profile picture.<\/p>\n

James Preece, known as The Dating Guru, explains this is an incredibly important element to the process.<\/p>\n

Most people will look at the image and determine whether or not they would like to get in touch with the individual, so those who have no picture at all might be at a real disadvantage.<\/p>\n

Mr Preece continues: "There's no point using an old photo, as you'll be caught out as soon as you meet."<\/p>\n

Furthermore, any element of trust that there was or attraction between the couple can disappear when they realise there has not been complete honesty.<\/p>\n

Such matters might be among those discussed in a new play being shown in Chicago, US, entitled Love, Sex and the Second City: A Romantic Dot Comedy.<\/p>\n

The production uses a satirical approach and considers a range of couples who are using online dating and other ways of meeting potential partners.<\/p>\n
