After checking my post last time with the list of online websites that exists nowadays, you may have some dating sites in mind that you've chosen already that you can possibly join. But before anything else, you need a profile to start with. This is like your resume in applying for a prospective boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse.
You want to make a good impression and convey the right message that you want from joining the online dating website.
Here are Steps on How to make a captivating Online Dating Profile:
Title
Give a title to your profile. When people sees your title, they will be attracted to read more about you. Make it unique. For example: “Searching for my soul mate; are you the one?” or “My precious heart is for the lucky one” or “searching for my missing piece”. You can put anything that comes to your mind which is interesting to read as long as it comes from your heart. Don’t just say “simple woman” or “searching for love”.
Username
Use a username that will identify you properly. Don’t use usernames that can be mistakenly you as someone cheap like “hotchixforu”, deliciouslyhot, or “spicylover”. You can use an adjective before you first name like “lovelylisa”, “faithfulfeliza”, or “prettypia”. Your username will create a first impression to the person reading it.
Expand Answers
In answering questions like hobbies or religions, don’t just check those items. If there is space to write something else, feel free to explain your side. You don’t have to be a good write; all you need to do is be true to yourself. Give yourself time to think and examine yourself and relay your personality in the profile. For example, if you are into painting; it would be good to say: “I have a passion in painting. This occupies my time a lot. This is where I express my emotions. I would love my future partner to be part of my passion someday.”
About Yourself
In the part where you need to tell something about yourself, do not lie. If you put false information in your profile, you will end up receiving wrong member matches and will most likely end up with the wrong person. And relationship will not work because it all started with a lie. Be as honest as possible. There is always a match to your personality. Here is an example on how you should describe yourself: “I may be short in height, but I have a big heart to offer” or “I speak my mind but I love with my heart”. If you got a High School Senior Scholarship before, you can also mention that to be different from others. But do not put too much personal information like phone number, home address, and company address to be in the safe side.
About the person you’re looking for
In writing about the person you’re looking for, you should be very careful. Don’t describe in a physical way like beautiful, sexy, tall, etc. Try to be conversational. Ask yourself what will make you happy and content. Think of the qualities that you want in the person. For example: “You may not be the beautiful woman in the world but when I see your eyes, they will tell me that you’re the one” or “ I would love to be with a person that will share the same views in life, enjoy the beauty of nature, and love me for the rest of my life.”
Picture
Post a recent picture. Do not post a picture that was taken 10 years ago. Don’t retouch your picture. Show the real you. You may think you don’t look good enough but someone out there will surely love the way you are. Put a picture that is decently looking. Don’t post a picture on your bikinis or with your cleavage showing or with no shirt on. You want to convey respect when people look at your picture.
Take your Time
Online dating profile creation should not be finished in 1 sitting. Take your time to think about yourself, on the things that you’re doing, and who would you like to be with. When you do this, you can writer things better and you don’t need to be a good writer because people are writers in nature. Just by relaying your emotions and thoughts you’ll come up with good written information about you. Don’t be in a hurry. This may take you days but when it’s done; it will surely be captivating to the eyes of your future lover.
Proofread
When you’ve created your profile, give time to proofread your profile and edit necessary things as possible. You don’t want typos to be seen by your prospective spouse. You want to impress them intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and in every aspect that you can.
Now that you know how to create a captivating profile you are ready to make your passport to the online dating world. Just keep in mind, be honest in everything you say. You may not please everybody but you are true to yourself and someone out there will read your profile and touched by your sincerity. By telling the real you, you are being unique. Good luck!
