Are you considering the possibility of an Online Dating Site to find a date or the love of your dreams? Did you know the most important part of finding your special someone through online dating is your profile. Even if you plan on being proactive in your search, you still need a stellar profile. Why? Mainly because anyone you email, wink at or nod toward will most likely use your profile as a way of deciding whether they wish to respond to you or not. So, how do you create an eye grabbing profile? Here are 6 steps to get you on your way to dating ecstasy.
1- Take as much time as you need to build your profile
There is no need to rush through this process. Read each section carefully and be sure to give as much information as you can. In the “talk about yourself” section be sure to have more than just a couple of sentences. You must remember, potential dating partners are reading this info to get a feel of whether or not the two of you might “hit it off”. So tell them about yourself. Your likes, your dislikes etc.
2- You want to stand out from the crowd
There are lots, and I mean lots, of “I’m a 26 year old SWF/SWM who likes movies and swimming”. You need to be more specific so you can create interest in yourself. After all you are creating a sales page for yourself. What are your favourite movies, TV shows, music, singer, group, etc? Do you have any hobbies? Play sports? Then tell people about it. Do you have a great sense of humour? Then show people your sense of humour.
3- Remember that being negative is not an attractive trait in a date
Be positive about yourself. You really don’t want to say things like “I’m doing this on a dare” or “I’m just trying this out for the hell of it”. You won’t be taken seriously with this type of comment. And, don’t be concerned about looking for a date or romance online, you won’t be thought of as desperate. Just like you, 61% of American singles will look for a date online this year. That’s a lot of dates! So project a happy you, sadness isn’t an attractive trait either.
4- Be honest about yourself
You can say you are as funny as Jim Carey or as hot as Pamela Anderson, but if you’re not, your potential date won’t be impressed when they meet you and see you are not! Remember there is always the possibility you will take you online romance offline and, so be honest, you’ll get great dates by just being yourself.
5- Use a spell checker!
There is nothing worse than reading a profile of someone you think you might be interested in and every fourth word is incorrectly spelt. Sure, we’re not all great spellers, but you know that squiggly red line under half of your text, well, it’s there for a reason. Create your text in a word processor, then copy and paste it into your profile. This way you can save it and use it again if you sign up for more than one dating site. It will also allow you to tweak your profile from time to time.
6- This one is a given – Upload a photo or two
As part of your profile, the photo is one of the most important parts. If you decide not to upload a photo, again you will not be taken seriously. Even if you don’t consider yourself terribly attractive, believe me there are hundreds of people out there who will. Just think about this: When you’re reading someone’s profile, how important would it be to see a photo of the person?
Well, what you have above are the basics. You’re ready to get started. We hope these tips will help you to create an eye (and date) catching profile.
Good Luck!
