How To Write A Dating Profile

Are you thinking about trying online dating but don't know where to start? Or, have you been using internet dating but not getting the responses or results you want? It all starts with your user name, headline and profile. But it's not so frightening or difficult, just take a deep breath, clear your mind of today's worries and think positive!

First, remember, you are trying to attract someone to read your profile and contact you. What are some of your positive attributes, or what are some of your favorite past-times or hobbies? For example, let's say you love football. So maybe your user name could be 1,2,3,Hike! Your headline: I'll be your Quarterback, or, You Can be my Quarterback, or even, The game is good, but half-time can be better! Are you starting to get the idea?

When you write your profile think like the person who is going to read it. After all, you are, in a sense, speaking to them. Instead of: "I like to watch football and my favorite team is XXX", you could write: "I'd like to spend a Sunday afternoon cheering on the team with you!" Now, you're connecting with the reader and the reader starts visualizing doing the things you are interested in with you!

Plus it makes it far more easier for someone to contact you because you have, basically, already started a conversation with them. With the above example, someone could contact you and say, "Hey, I loved your profile. I like Sunday football, too. What's your favorite team? Mine's XXX, but they've been lousy lately, so I may switch. Do you ever go to sports bars to watch?"

See how much easier and successful it is when you target your write up to the viewer?
