Writing a Dating Profile

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 11, 2007 – When you use online dating services to find yourself a date or the person of your dreams, your profile is the only clue that a prospective partner has about you. So writing an effective online dating profile is of utmost importance.

Most online dating services like eRomance.com have a collection of tips to help you write the perfect profile. Read the site guidelines, tips, and hints carefully before writing your dating profile. You should know your dating service, yourself, and what you are seeking very well before you write your profile. Many of the dating service providers also offer a number of questionnaires and love quizzes. You can utilize the Chinese love horoscopes and compatibility horoscopes to help you understand yourself and your characteristics. It is important to know these since they will help create your profile.

Never put off writing your online dating profile because it overwhelms you. Talking to a friend can give you a better idea about writing your profile, though you need not always take the advice you get. You may not get it right the first time, but with practice, you will be able to write the perfect profile to attract that perfect match.

An online dating profile includes a username, a headline, information about yourself, and a photograph.

Select a unique, exciting username that reveals an attractive aspect of your personality. But desist from revealing important personal information like age, date of birth and phone number in your username.

Your headline, a short sentence or phrase about yourself and what you are seeking; should be lively and cheerful. The human eye generally rests for three seconds on something. So you have only three seconds to capture your mate’s interest.

Keep the following tips in mind while writing a dating profile:
1.   Do not copy others’ profiles.
2.   Be honest about your height, weight and complexion. There are so many people out there who are looking for exactly what you are.
3.   Avoid negatives in your profile.
4.   Write as if you are directly speaking to your dream date.
5.   Keep the profile length appropriate. The reader should thirst for more.
6.   Speak freely and honestly about your values and interests.
7.   See that your language is humorous and vibrant.
8.   Keep your profile free of errors.

Research reveals that profiles with photos generate 80% more response than those without photos. So post a recent smiling picture of yours.

Only boring, bland, uninteresting profiles fail to attract any responses. With a little effort, you can create a profile that’ll make prospective dates long for you!
