How To Improve Your Profile: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Don’t stop what you’re doing with your online dating adventure! Small sucesses are what big successes are built on. And missed opportunities allow you to “plug the holes” and create a better online profile.Many dating services provide you with some feedback such as who has visited your profile and when. If you’re not getting messages from these visitors it’s because they’re not certain you’re a good match for them.
Read their profile and try to figure out why. Everyone has some commn traits, but do these visitors get put off by something these saw or read? Don’t immediately dismiss them as not compatible, you have work to do yet.
Put on your detective hat and read their profile carefully, then go back and read your own profile again. Measure the questions you both answered against the answers you both gave. What is it that stands out that would keep the two of you apart? (During this phase of your “investigation” don’t thnk of the other person’s physical appearance, we’re looking deeper than that.)
Read the other person’s “About Me” section carefully, are there any aspects that you like about them? What stands out as a direct conflict in what you wrote in your “About Me” answers?
This will give you a direction of writing style and information to post about yourself to improve your profile as you investigate carefully the people that stopped by to read your profile but didn’t contact you.
Do this with every person that didn’t contact you but stopped by for a look and soon you’ll have fixed up your profile and be a top receiver of messages and more.
For your headline to use in your personal ad, try this today:
“I am a lot deeper than my About Me answers, let’s chat!”
Have a great day!
Romance: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Our romantic evening.
Does your version of romance match the person you’re dating?
(Take our ‘How romantic are you?’ quiz.)
I know from personal experience that I’m often in left field when romance strikes.
Being romantic should never be forced, it should be as natural a situation as that first kiss and if you can hold onto that moment, you’ll always be “romance ready“.
Romance brings people together and the lack of romance drives them apart. More than financial stress or other events that occupy your mind at all hours, romance will reduce the stress you feel and make other pressures take a step back from your daily struggles.
For your headline today I’d like you to imagine a romantic moment and use the first 7 words as your headline and continued at the top of your profile in the “About me” section, like this:
“I will start by lighting candles and…” (now on your profile page) “… have prepared a bottle of wine and some chocolate truffles to start a wonderful evening.”
Have a great day!
Match.com March Marathon
Today, Day Two, we’re going to start with completing our profile.Every step in the Match.com profile has been carefully crafted to not only provide you a comfortable place to talk about yourself but also with enough tips and help that will inspire you to write well about yourself without being egotistic or seeming narcissistic.
If you follow along step-by-step, you will easily fall into step with Match.com and how to best use this popular dating service to your benefit.
About Me profile section
With the “About Me” section you’re asked to answer some questions by multiple choice, and other questions in essay form. Yes, I know, “essay form”, I bet you thought you left that behind a long time ago, right? This time you’re not trying for an “A+” you’re score is a date.
Your gender, the sex of the person you’re loking for, where you live and your astrological sign form the better part of “About Me - Basics”. When you’re done, about 20 seconds, click the “Send for approval” button.
During the profile completion steps you will be given two options: “Save and continue” and “Send for approval”. “Save and continue” means that you’re either done with the section or you’ll come back to answer the questions. “Send for approval” finalizes your answers (which can be changed later) and sends them to be approved by Match.com staff. This is a safeguard against not only spammers but also people that might be using the service for other nefarious reasons. Crime in online dating services isn’t rampant, but frauds do happen, more so (I believe) in free dating services because they don’t have the resources to check each profile for clarity and common sense, something that is often lacking at free dating services and with criminals too.
It is important to remember that whenever you edit, change or modify your profile you must “Send for approval” before it is again displayed for others to see. This is important to remember because, firstly, your profile is not available during this time, although communication is not stopped between people you’ve had contact with so far (unless they block you), and secondly, recently approved profiles appear closer to the top (first) just as profiles with pictures are shown before profiles without pictures.
While I do recommend regular updating to both your headline and your profile, you shouldn’t be doing this so often that your profile is almost always waiting for approval.
You should be able to complete the 6 sections of the “About Me” profile area in under 10 minutes. Take your time and be honest with yourself and those that will read your profile, because honesty counts.
When you’re done with this part of today’s Match.com Marathon click on the “search” button and take a look at some of the people waiting to meet you.
