Online Dating Tips
March 22nd 2007 00:38
When you join an online dating service you have much the same feeling of anticipation and excitement as you do when you are about to go on a blind date. The prospect of having people approve of you and possibly accept you as someone they want to have around them is exhilarating.
Be Honest
How do you create a powerful and compelling online dating profile? You've heard that honesty is the best policy…It is. Be honest. The person you're trying to attract will eventually agree to meet you if you have written an eye catching profile. Eventually the "real" you will pop out. You don't want to get dumped once your feelings are involved.
If you want to find Mr./Mrs. Right, adhere to the honesty policy and represent yourself exactly as you are and not want you want others to perceive you.
Be clever and funny in your profile but be sincere. If you're funny, then show it in your writing. Don't tell someone how funny you are.
"I'm funny and have a great sense of humour."
How predictable. It seems everyone is funny and has a good sense of humour. Rather than telling people that you're funny, express it in your writing. It's the only way to make your reader a believer.
A Picture Says It All
Another important aspect of your online dating profile is pictures. Show them a picture of you. A picture speaks volumes about who you are. If you say you are sporty but have a picture of you sitting on a couch, what does that say? Use a picture of you on a bike, in a race or waterskiing. Don't use a High School picture if you are in your 20's or older. Use a recent picture. They will find out what you look like when they meet you. Why draw someone in and then have them ditch you if you don't look the same?
Avoid Turn-Offs
Make sure to do a spelling and grammar check before you post to an online dating site. Words that are spelt incorrectly and bad punctuation can tune a lot of people out and then they will click you off.
Forget about negativity in your profile and don't talk about ex-relationships. That will give the reader a sense that you are a serial dater and perhaps a heartbreaker. Keep the profile positive.
