Online Dating Tips

More attention means more potential dates to choose from. Here are the top 3 ways to to get more attention with your profile:

1. Put a clear, current photo on your profile. Sometimes the temptation seems to be to upload your "all-time favorite" photo of yourself. A five or ten year old photo (or older!) doesn't give others a fair representation of what you look like currently (and they'll be dating you now, not five years ago). If you don't have any current photos you like then have a friend take some photos of you. Wear clothes in colors to compliment your skin tone. Don't be afraid to let your personality shine through!

2. Include a creative headline! Many online datng sites give you the opportunity to attach a "headline" to your profile. The headline often shows up next to your photo when potential mates do searches for those matching their preferences. In addition to the photo, the headline is often your first chance to make a great impression. Be creative! Compare your reactions to these two headlines: "Just looking" and "Down to earth Angel looking for her wings." Which headline makes you want to keep reading about the person? The second headline! A creative headline will help draw attention to you in the online dating world.

3. Be yourself in your profile. The wonderful thing about your profile in online dating is that it continues to work for you whether you're around or not! You are a unique and original being. No one in the world is exactly like you. Let yourself be original in your profile. Mention a hobby, favorite movie and/or book. This gives the opportunity for connections with others on the site who have similar likes/dislikes.
