Millions of people around the world are seeking love and romance using web-based online dating services and websites. One of the most important things you can do to score dates at any of these online venues is to have a great dating profile. If you are ready to spice up your online dating life, here is how to write a dating profile that works.
Things You’ll Need:
- Time
- Computer with word processing application
How to Write an Effective Online Dating Profile
Step 1:
Write down all your strengths. This is simple, what are your strengths? Jot them all down.
Step 2:
Write down all your weaknesses. Now think of what makes you weak, what fears you have and write those down.
Step 3:
Write down everything you like to do. Whether it’s reading a book or riding a bike; make a short list.
Step 4:
Write down everything you hate to do. Try not to get carried away; a short list will suffice here.
Step 5:
Write down ten things about yourself--all positive. Are you a happy out going person? Do you love to work with kids? Do you volunteer your time at a homeless shelter?
Step 6:
Write the profile. Now it’s time to write the profile. Take the three things you love to do the most and combine those with three of your best strengths. Make sure to mention one weakness, and one thing you really dislike. You may want to spend an hour or two writing the actual profile. It’s okay to write it several different ways and see which one you like the best.
Step 7:
Proofread and edit. Look for grammar and spelling errors. Is your profile too long; too informative? Does it sound needy or desperate? Would you go out on a date with you? A good rule of thumb is a dating profile that reads no more than 1000 words.
Tips & Warnings
- You may want to have a close friend read through the profile to give you any do’s and don’t’s.
- Don’t come off sounding cocky or arrogant, those are immediate turn offs to everybody.
