If you've been disappointed in the dates you were matched with, it's because of your profile.
To get the perfect date, you need to follow these 10 simple tips. You'll have all the dates you want with whom you want. Your match is right around the corner just waiting for you. You just don't know it yet. A great profile consists of a great screen name, tagline, photos and how you write your profile.
Finding a good dating site- You need to research and find the best dating site. You need one that has a huge database of members, and one that offers a free signup so you can try them out.
Now that you've found the best dating site, you need to come up with a good screen name. Don't use names like "babe in the buff" or muscle man". If you do, you'll just end up with losers. Use a name that says something good about you, such as "FireFighterinReno" or Rosie'sCafeinPhoenix" Those are just examples. Look at other peoples' screen names and see what grabs your attention. You can turn it around to make it your own.
You need good pictures. Add several different pictures, not just one. Make sure your pictures are clear with no red-eye. If you're having pictures made, use good lighting. You want a good clear shot of your face. You need to wear button down shirts, or blouses. The bikini and t-shirts just won't work.
Get someone's opinion of the pictures you're going to download to your profile. Don't use pictures with someone else in them, and don't hold anything such as a teddy bear, cat, dog or any props at all. When thinking about what to wear, just wear colors that look good on you.
Your tagline is very important. It's just a one-liner that says who you are. Use the tagline as a teaser and leave them wanting more. Use the tagline to get the attention of the type of people you want to be contacted by. The best way to come up with a good tagline is to look at other peoples' taglines. Write down the ones that grabbed your attention the most. Then create one that is true for you, based on the ones you liked.
Typing your profile will be the biggest challenge when it comes to an online dating site. Think about meeting someone for the first time that you have an interest in. Imagine what you would say to describe yourself to the other person. This is exactly how you want to write your profile.
You don't want your profile to sound like a resume, and you don't want it to be boring either. You may have to work on it and do some editing, but this is how you will tell the world about you. Give it interest, attention, desire and action. Most profiles are poorly written, so use this to your advantage.
You want to keep your profile brief, but interesting. The ideal length of an online dating site profile is 200-350 words. You want to use anywhere from 150-250 of those words for yourself. You will then use 50-100 words as filters for the type of person you are seeking.
Be positive and happy. Don't throw off any negative thoughts in your profile, or you will turn-off what could be the compatible person you so much desire to meet. If you stick to these tips, you will find the perfect date.
Don't' give out your real email, home phone or place of work. Wait until you know the person better. Use a cell phone or a pay phone until then. Request a picture so you will get a feel of how this person looks.
