There's something about your ad ...Follow these simple steps and increase your chances of finding TheOneThatYouWant!
Talk yourself up ... but stay sincere and true. What qualities do you have that another dater maybe looking for? What would your friends say your best qualities are? It’s essential that you mention these in your online dating profile. Don't be afraid to be honest about your good points, after all that's what other daters are looking for.
Keep the style fun and not too formal. 'If you have fun writing it, the reader will likely have fun reading it,' says author Evan Marc Katz in I Can't Believe I'm Buying This Book: A Commonsense Guide to Successful Internet Dating (Ten Speed Press, 2003). In writing about who you are as well as about what characteristics you're looking for, write the way you talk, in a creative way that will win people over and warm them to you.
Choose words carefully. Ok, if you see an online profile with ‘looking for a wealthy man’ or ‘wanted.... stunning woman’. Most people will think you are a gold digger, superficial or shallow. However what you are actually looking for is a partner; who is ambitious or fit, and this is much less offensive. Words have a huge impact in the world of online dating, after all words are your tools.
Read over what you're about to submit online. Review your writing so it's grammatically correct and typo-free. You would be amazed what you can forget OR mistype. Other daters WILL pick up on this.
Keep It Positive: Please Peeps....
