When creating your profile to submit to an on line dating site, you may very well be tempted to be less than honest about yourself to try to increase your appeal to possible partners. Does that sound as if it might be so?

Whilst it is entirely possible that it may advisable to omit certain facts about yourself, it is obviously better not to tell bare faced lies. There is a way of showing yourself in a good light without be deceptive.

Be positive in your outlook and let your words show this. No-one wants to go out with someone who lives at the damp end of the forest!. At times, we all hate the weather, the commute we have to work, our neighbours but going on about any of those things doesn’t help and it will put potential partners off you before they even have a chance to meet you.

Very few people are going to want to hear about your past attempt at on line dating. There is no need to include a catalogue of your exploits in your profile. If you do allude to any previous experiences don’t bad mouth the other person - unless you want to be bad mouthed in return.

Think about what you can put in your profile that will make you stand head and shoulders above everyone else. Find something unique to say about yourself. Don’t copy what others say. Remember the people reading your profile will have read the other profiles too. They will notice. and it will be a turn off!

Try not to use cliches and the same tired phrases in your profile. Yes we all like romantic candlelit dinners, moonlight, log fire. Imagine surfing through 50 or so profiles in one evening which all say the same thing. It’s a big YAWN!

Say something no-one else is brave enough to say. It may be that you love to eat at at a particular restaurant because you know the owner and he always prepares a special type of pasta for you with a sauce you love. Reveal a little about yourself, your likes and dislikes - it is charming, endearing and it will encourage contact from others. They will be able to imagine themselves on a first date with you at a small Italian restaurant sharing a plate of pasta with special sauce.

When writing your profile be clear about what it is you are looking for too. To say you are looking for someone with a sense of humour is just too vague. Do you like smutty jokes, satire, those who can see the funny side of things, sarcastic humour……..what is that you find funny? What type of humour are you seeking?

By being as open and honest as you feel comfortable being you will save yourself a lot of time and, possibly, heartache through making contact with potential partners who don’t fit the bill. Think about what you would like to read in a profile and what would discourage you and what would encourage you then write your own profile accordingly.

By submitting the perfectly crafted dating profile you’ll soon be going on your first date with someone new. Hopefully the partner of your dreams!
