On Line Dating Strategies

Have you ventured into the world of online dating? These days, it's a great opportunity to expand the sea of potential catches; however, you'll have to work that much harder to set yourself apart from the rest of the fisherwomen.

For starters, your username and headline are the best way to get attention. Think of it as your first impression — instead of a smile and a handshake, you're catching his eye with words. Don't be afraid to tap your resources if you're not a creative person. Enlist a friend or family member to help you come up with a catchy name and inviting headline. You want to capture who you are in a snappy statement that leaves them wanting more!

In the profile itself, break out the thesaurus. Avoid wishy-washy adjectives and instead use strong words that paint a clear picture of who you are, what you do, and what you're looking for. Instead of "nice," tell them you're "vibrant." Instead of career-minded, say that you're "passionate" — you get the idea. Diversify your descriptions. Try to think of all your interests, hobbies, strengths, hopes, and dreams to give a well-rounded profile that's honest and intriguing.

Finally, keep it brief. You want to offer the highlights but leave room for imagination. Think about both the love of your life and a coworker reading it — what's the balance of information you'd want both of them to see?

    I'm just an open book. I give enough information to get rid of people who are a waste of time and keep someone who understands me. It varies depending on personallities.

    ok seriously how do you know if they are telling the truth on there? you really dont. i just caught my fiance' on one and guess what his profile and everything was a lie. the only thing try on there was his email address. i confronted him and he still lied to me about it. i caught him with the help of my sister being she has an account and lied about her info too. idk i guess just be careful!
