Alone for Christmas: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
I love nerds
Dating online this time of year can be very tough but also very rewarding.
I can remember being alone for Christmas and visiting all these chat sites to feel connected to others during this lonely period. It was very good to connect to others that were in the same situation, no matter where in the world they were.
All of the periods in our lives are transitory, that is, they don’t last but merge into the next and the next again.
I hope you’ll treat yourself well, do and eat what you want, a celebration for one is still a celebration.
With this thought I suggest for you this dating profile headline today:
“No matter the distance we can connect for the holidays!”
Have a great day!
Santa Gifts: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Cheating Santa out of his...
We are now moving into the “Merry all ye gentlemen” period of crap that grabs a hold of people and relentlessly shakes the shit out of their wallets and scratches the hell out of the magnetic strips on their credit cards.
Now, I’m not going to declare myself immune to the temptations of the celebration. I’ve been known to wander aimlessly through the malls, without a gift idea between my ears, and walk out several thousand dollars poorer. Ce la vie.
I hope you stick to your gift buying list better than I, or at least only gave out your gift lift to others and did not accept any lists in return. “Sorry, honey, I couldn’t find your list so I got you this box of jelly filled donuts…. You’re welcome…. Stop throwing things at me! Save the donuts for later!”
And if you have no one to give a great gift to, then take the money and start a savings account for a great vacation for two. Then when you’ve saved enough money for two tickets, go yourself if you’re still single. Just go for twice as long! Or take that great person you met a Perfectmatch.com and have the time of your life. (I will leave the choice on what to do to you.)
The list of people who aren’t great and don’t deserve a gift can be short (if you’re happy) and long if you’re seeking Christmas (pissed off) revenge. I will not start or end your list, but I will say “Don’t leave out milk and cookies for Santa. He’s not coming.”
And since we are now covering a wide range of topics that include buying gifts, not giving great gifts, saving money for a hedonist vacation and, finally, cheating Santa out of his standard reward, let’s complete this massacre of a post with this headline that will dramatically increase the replies you get to your online profile:
“Do you want me to put a good word in for you with Santa? We’re buddies.”
Have a great day!
Angry Birds: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Tuesday
I’m sorry, my mind has been elsewhere (damn Angry Birds!).
They haven’t infected my workspace yet and I’m doing my best to keep them only at home, strictly as a “stress relaxation technique” of course.
But it’s hard, you know… I’ve even taking to watching youtube videos of how people have conquered specific levels. It’s not really cheating, it’s more of an informational tip guide, don’t you think? And I didn’t pirate the game, I have Angry Birds downloaded to my HTC Desire (running Android 2.2) mobile phone a week ago (a quick thanks to all that have been instrumental to this series of events happening).
Distractions happen like accidents: all the parts that are available tend to become mixed up or otherwise abused in some way that causes grief to the victim and the accident creator. (Make sure your insurance is current and paid up and take a lot of photos!).
Online dating profiles, while they aren’t necessarily accidents waiting to happen (really!), they can have their own poor record of allowing too much personal informational to be easily seen, as well as invalidating the real reason to have adding even more info.
Take the answer “Ask me later” answer option when possible or available, if needed. Don’t just skip over the questions leaving a lot of “No reply” or “no answer” which will do you at your open risk of bad possibilities.
Which all leads me to this: Your dating profile and the updates you’re going to do for your Faceook account, et al, that are all intermingled, intertwined, and a like ghost following around your keyboard. So watch your step (keystrokes, really). And following this line of thought, here is your Headline of the Day:
“I have yet to beat ‘Angry Birds’ on my (choice of mobile-phone here).”
Have a great day!
Fresh: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Always looking forward
Mondays always give us the opportunity for a fresh start. A “new lease on life” if you will.
And now that we’re within days of starting a New Year with all of those silly resolutions that are supposed to bring us into a better life style (or at least fewer bad habits or pounds) it is time to consider changes to how we view ourselves and what is reality and what is fiction about what we say is our self.
The only fear I have for the future is that what is bad will be proven and what is good is only a dream. Have you seen this view of yourself?
I suppose that’s what we have New Year’s Eve parties, to allow us the opportunity to give others a new view in the immediate New Year of our changed selves.
It is with these thoughts that I offer to you today’s personal ad headline suggestion:
“Make it, take it, but please don’t break it”.
Have a great day!
Original: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Hidden behind these walls is...
Yesterday it snowed enough that today I’m going to feel real guilty about not shoveling the driveway later… it seems like just last Sunday I had this same issue, that is, the guilt about shoveling or not shoveling… any other type of guilt just (… hehehe…) doesn’t exist. Ugh.
If that makes any sense at all you’re just not hung over enough…. Or I am too much.
Sundays I generally designate as the “redo your profile day” and today isn’t any different.
Editing your profile gives a fresh coat of paint on your profile and always leads, hopefully, to more people stopping by to read what you’ve written about yourself and the type of person you’d like to meet.
It is amazing how many guys write the things they think women want to read and, like bad pickup lines, they’re shunned like an overdue credit card bill.
You don’t have to be totally original, just a bit more sincere, guys,to raise the number of replies you’ll be getting.
So go with “redo your profile day” and be ready for a lot more emails sent to your profile.
While you’re at it, maybe you’d like to use this as your headline too:
“I am THE ONE ready to meet YOU.”
Have a great day!
Gift Giving: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
SaturdayThis is it, the last weekend before Christmas. Have you completed all of your shopping? I know that I’ll be finishing up tomorrow, online. No mall crowds for me, just a few clicks and a credit card and luxury chocolates and tshirts will be mailed to friends and relatives in time for Christmas morning.
Gift giving is certainly one of those high-stress activities. Give the wrong gift and send the wrong message. Ouch!
Of course, give the right gift and you’re a hero. I hope you’ve been paying attention to your partner, they’ve been giving you clues all month. I will be giving earrings to my wife and luxury chocolates to relatives and funny tshirts to the kids. Simple.
If you’re still looking for that special someone, then you’ll need a headline for your profile, and in the spirit of the season I offer you this headline to use today:
“No wrapping required!”
Have a great day!
Winter Weather: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Tuesday
Thanks to all that offered their support as I dug myself out of a mountain of snow, your cheery thoughts kept my toes warm for several seconds… (watching too much Craig Ferguson, eh?!)
But seriously, I am glad that this is over. For now. I certainly feel for the hundreds stranded on a highway in Ontario and the countless numbers of people dragging their asses after a white-knuckle episode of driving to (and later from) work. Egads!
So anyways, I do have a point here, it’s enjoy the weather when you can because if we’re lucky it won’t last long! But there will be more tomorrow.
Which also leads us to today’s profile headline suggestion, so consider this:
“There will be snow, who will keep you warm?”
Have a great day!
People at play: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
People at play
Sign up or Log in… more and more websites are asking you to sign up or log in to see personalized content, even so much as sharing your information across many web sites. (We don’t do that here, too much!)
The big giant is, of course, Facebook which has it’s fingers in hundreds of other websites for friend recommendations and such. It’s a nice feature, without a doubt, because it does keep you connected with your social circle. But unless you know how much sharing of your information you are really doing, you might want to logout or turn off the sharing features until you’re more comfortable with all of this.
We are constantly being barraged with messages to buy things and having these sales pitches customized without your complete consent may not be the best thing in the world (online), don’t you agree? And here’s a tip if you’re searching for a job: do a search for yourself and see what comes up. A future employer will likely do the same thing so you want to see what they’ll find.
You might also want to do a “Super logout” at Facebook, if your page is very personal or has content you particularily wouldn’t want an employer reading about you. The “Super logout” is simply deactivating your account. This does not delete your account and you can re-activate it at a later time, but this technique stops people from seeing anything about you on Facebook which is what you’d want. Click on “Account” and “Account settings” and choose “Deactivate account” and you’re done.
Many online dating services also allow you to put your dating profile into a “hidden” state, which is great if you’ve found a few dates and don’t want to be seen as still looking for more, so one click to hide your profile and another click to be available again.
As far as your online dating profile the amount of information about you made available depends on the service and how they are set up as far as the required information and the optional information is displayed. But just because the question is asked don’t think you absolutely have to provide an answer. Many dating services have an “Ask me later” option for some questions, so feel free to use it as you will.
My headline suggestion for you today is this:
“Please ask me anything, this could be the start of something great!”
Have a great day!
