Dating Advice: Three Mistakes to Avoid When Writing an Online Dating Service Profile – by: Chris Fox

After four years of reading more than 10,000 profiles of men and women looking for a partner through online dating services, I’ve laughed at my fair share of poorly written introductions.

Of those 10,000 online dating service profiles, no more than a dozen captured my attention enough to make the first move. I’m sure that you want to get lots of responses to your online dating service advertisement, or else why would you bother joining a site, and paying a small fee to meet new people? If that is the case, then make sure you avoid the following three mistakes at all costs:

Dating Advice Point 1. “I’m the One Your Mother Warned You About”

This is, from my research anyway, the most overused sentence in an opening line for online dating service profiles. True, it’s the generic choice of some of the larger sites (such as Lavalife or True) – if your profile is awaiting approval, this tag line may show up while waiting for the a-okay. To avoid this, come up with something a bit more original and unique. Bu what if you aren’t sure what that may be? Well, it’s not hard to take a look at your competition in the online dating service field, so why not do a quick search and see what everyone else is doing? Reading other people’s description of themselves may just get your creative juices flowing. At the very least, it’ll show you what everyone else is saying about themselves – and what key phrases and words you should therefore avoid in turn.

Dating Advice Point 2. “I Might Be the One you’re Looking For”

This may be the case. However, by using this combination of words anywhere in your online dating service profile, you aren’t telling me, or any other potential suitor, anything new.

What this line does say to someone checking you out is that the online dating service profiler didn’t do a lot of thinking about how they wanted to present themselves. Tell people what gets your eyes twinkling or what REALLY gets you up in the morning – and don’t say it’s your alarm clock, either. Now is the time to let your passions really shine through.

Dating Advice Point 3. Glaring Spelling or Grammatical Mistakes

This tip may seem childish, or trite – but it’s of the utmost importance. While chatting with someone online, you may have some fast typing or spelling mistakes that a potential suitor may find annoying. But until you get to that stage with someone, NO ONE should know that you’ve got dyslexia, or just can’t spell worth beans.

It shows a lot to a potential suitor while they peruse the online dating services that someone has taken the time to spell check their document. Hell, get a friend to read over it for you if need be in case you’ve missed something important. But if you cannot take the time to write something legible, most people perusing the online dating service websites will assume you won’t have time to bother doing other, more important small tasks. And when you only have a couple of seconds to make that first impression before someone clicks on another person – every single details counts.

A Guide To Dating – by: Jeff Lakie

People in long-term relationships, whether they are married or dating, often complain about getting into a rut. Your relationship may have started off with the great burst of passion and excitement but perhaps it began to wane because life is busy and work can where you out by the end of the day.

If you’re in a dating relationship that seems to be in a rut, or wonder why you can’t keep a long term relationship exciting anymore, perhaps you need to go back to the beginning. That doesn’t mean you need to break up with your current partner and find someone new, it means you need to refresh the relationship with exciting and spontaneous activities.

When you look back on a period of your life, what is it that you remember? Is it the average day-in, day-out activities? Not likely. It is more likely those fun and spur-of-the-moment times when you did things that were hilarious or scary or new. That’s what it means to go back to the beginning of a relationship, when everything you do is spontaneous and new.

Next time you and your girlfriend or boyfriend are deciding to do something on Friday, don’t settle for dinner-and-a-movie. Do something different! Here are some ideas:

• Play paintball
• Rent a classic car
• Go skydiving
• Have a picnic

Or surprise your date with something spontaneous:

• Start a water fight
• Go for a romantic boat ride and tip the boat
• Blindfold your date and take them somewhere they never been
• Surprise your date at work just as they’re finishing up for the day

Relationships fail for many reasons. One of the saddest reasons is that people simply drift apart because the other person doesn’t excite them anymore. It doesn’t have to be that you’re your relationship, whether dating or married, can thrive when it is filled with adventures that the two of you share as you build memories together.

You’ll look back on your time together with fondness as you consider the many fun and spontaneous things you did together. But doing those things is a choice. Choose to return to the beginning of your relationship and have fun again!
