Getting Noticed

•Start with an intriguing headline.
•Reveal your personality.
•Avoid over and underselling yourself.
•Be specific about what you want.
•Never say what you don’t want in a partner, instead try to focus on positive aspects in a partner that you would be interested in.
•Update your profile every few days. In most dating cites updated profiles usually appear at the top of the list when a search is made.
•Post a few pictures of yourself. Studies show that people who post pictures of them in dating cites get more responses. Make sure the pictures of you that you provide will reflect on your personality and hobbies.
•Take time off of what your doing and make sure you are completely focused on writing your ad. Make sure your profile is organized and provides important information about yourself. That will reflect the level of your seriousness in finding a match.
•Make sure you are honest! If you don’t tell t he truth about yourself, you will end up disappointing your partner and yourself.
