The first thing you should remember when creating your profile is that you should express yourself – and only yourself. In your quest for love you should never lie about yourself – whether it’s about your appearance or your career. Your goal should be to meet someone that strikes your interest and who likes you for who you are. Don’t be afraid to express “The Real You”. Otherwise, you may end upwith someone that is expecting the “other” you, the identity you made up – and this could be disastrous.
You should try to let your unique personality show thru. Don’t tell your personality through your profile. For example, instead of telling “I’m a funny guy”, you could show that you are funny by saying, “Sometimes people ask me if I was funny as a kid”. I say ‘Well, no. I was an accountant.’ ”. Or, if you have a well-paying job, instead of directly writing “I earn a lot.” in your profile, you can write “I can provide you with all the comforts that you need.”
But whatever aspects of your personality you want to convey, the main idea is to make yourself stand out from the rest. Use your unusual talents and quirks to your advantage. It’s best to include your age in your ad profile. If you’re a bit embarrassed about giving a specific figure, just type the range such as “early forties” or “late twenties”. Of course you should also give an age range for the person you seek – especially if you are looking for someone outside of your age group.
After fully describing your personality, you should then describe the type of person you are looking for. (This is much easier than describing yourself.) Don’t forget to add a profile picture as well, since this tends to increase the number of responses you get. People usually like to attatch faces to the people they meet online, as it makes them feel more comfortable to pursue a connection. As a safety precaution, make sure that you do not include personal information in your profile. This includes phone numbers, private email addresses, office addresses, etc. Make sure that your profile picture also doesn’t reveal this type of information indirectly (this includes photos of building names, street signs etc.)
While there are some nice, trustworthy people who genuinely want to make a love connection, there are also those who may try to take advantage of you. After creating your profile, it’s a good idea to search the dating website’s member database. Some dating websites even allow you to pre-select from a list of criteria, and you will be notified via email of any new members with characteristics matching your selection. You can always contact anyone who sparks your interest. Usually, initial contact is ‘anonymous’ – this means that your email address and other personal information are kept confidential until you personally give this information to your potential date.
After exchanging email addresses or phone numbers, you may decide to move on to face-to-face contact. At this point, the online dating service is no longer involved. While you may get one or two potential dates through a free online dating service, your success rate will be much higher with a paid service. This is because paid memberships are prioritized by online dating services, and they usually post your profile at the top of search results.
You also gain more access to special features, allowing you to broaden your horizons and meet more people. Online dating services have reasonable monthly fees that give you more value than what you’re paying for. Ultimately, the decision is up to you. Just make sure that you sign up for free trial memberships on several websites first before paying for any service. Looking for the perfect online matchmaking service can be a daunting task, but don’t worry – you’ll find it well worth it in the end!
