Do you like pets? Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Pets can be great friends
This question (and variations) can be found on most dating membership profile applications. As a question, alone and isolated, it’s harmless enough. Add the answer to the other 20 to 200 questions you may also be asked to complete in your dating service profile and it loses it’s importance, a little. But what if your answer to this question becomes the only reason why you will be contacted for a date or not?
The proper answer to this question is “I’ve been around many animals and if they have a good personality then they’re my favorite.”
Even if you already have a pet, you need to answer the question in a way that shows you have open arms for all pets, similar to my answer above. Don’t get pinned down by one type of pet (dog, cat, fish, bird or whatever), and allow yourself an opportunity to judge the animal on it’s own merits without upsetting the owner, and possible date, before contact has even made. Maybe this will lead to meeting the owner, right?
I’ve given you this example so you can understand the best way to answer a rather generic question that doesn’t give someone that will be reading your answer a reason to pass on by you.
For your dating profile headline suggestion, today I offer you this:
“Four legs, beaks or scales, they’re all friends to me.”
Have a great day!
Normal: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
I like to think that “some” of the small things in life actually give us an open window into our own future.
As your life (spins) into a free-falling state and you’re grabbing onto any small thing that can “return normal” for you, normalcy will return to your life and, by using the right guides, control over your life becomes second nature.
What we percieve to be normal (each in our own unique way) can only be our normal. The main people-varient to normal is whether others see normal the same way we do. And this brings with it plenty of room to guess and get things wrong about other people.
Hopefully they’re not making the same mistakes about us too. And this leads us to today’s personal ad headline that I strongly suggest you use for the next couple of days.
Your next date should be with someone that accepts your invitation with the time that they’re available and having brunch with you is already in mind. Good stuff!
None of that awkwardness surrounding the question you’d otherwise be dying to ask “Do you want to go out for a meal with the?” and fretting for the answer minutes, maybe even days later, because your profile headline has done most of the work for you, in advance.
Post this headline and watch the messages you receive plough into your inbox:
“When is the best time to invite you to a Sunday brunch?”
Have a great day!
