Are you Making These Mistakes in
Your Online Dating Profile?

Dating Profile - Get help with your Online Dating Profile from Online Dating Coach Jay ReissAre you like many people who join dating sites who - eager to start getting matches - quickly upload their Online Dating Profile to make it visible just as soon as possible?

A lot of people make haste when writing that all-important Dating Profile. Here are some common mistakes which can undermine your best intentions when trying to meet someone nice through Online Dating. Are you guilty of making some of these mistakes in your Online Dating Profile too?

1. Many people quickly answer the questions, filling in only the basics for topics related to hobbies, personal interests, and the things they like to do for fun.

2. A lot of people write very short essays in their "About Me" sections of their Online Dating Profile.

3. Many, if not most people give little thought to the headline at the top of their Online Dating Profile. The headline on your Dating Profile is critical - it's one of the first things people see.

4. Nearly everyone forgets to spell check their Online Dating Profile before clicking the final "OK" to save it.

5. A lot of people upload really awful photos (out-of-focus, with their ex cut out of the photo, pictures taken from too great a distance from the camera, photos that are too dark, or pictures wearing sunglasses, etc.). Few take the time to think about the impact such photos will make on their matches. Poorly chosen photos will ruin the impact of your Dating Profile - even if it is otherwise nearly perfect.

6. I often read online dating profiles that contain lots of clichés. Is that the kind of relationship you want to have too?

7. Both men and women ignore one of the most fundamental rules of advertising in their profiles, which is always to write with the reader in mind. In other words, you should both anticipate and answer the question, "What's in it for me?"

8. Designing an online dating profile that's too long isn't nearly as common as creating a dating profile that's too short. Having reviewed thousands of online dating profiles on hundreds of dating sites, this is the one mistake that seems to pop up the most. A fundamental rule of advertising is that "The more you tell, the more you sell." This is especially true in an Online Dating Profile - where you're really there selling yourself!

Creating an interesting, compelling dating profile is a basic requirement for success with online dating. Yes, it's true that many people shudder at the thought of marketing themselves when they join Online Dating Sites, but there is honestly no way around it. Either promote yourself with style and grace in your dating profile - or you'll fail to meet interesting matches. This is the one place where poetry and creative writing can really pay off.

Your future happiness is at stake here!

Don't blow it by giving short shrift to your online dating profile. Wax eloquently about your childhood dreams instead. Paint a picture of love and surrender to your beloved as the dawn breaks. Let the Emily Dickinson and Ralph Waldo Emerson rise up inside of you, and take the opportunity in your dating profile to let your Spirit soar. Reach out across the miles with pictures of love and an invitation so compelling that your Soulmate will rise to the occasion!

And, if all else fails, ask for help - and have a professional look over your dating profile to add the finishing touches.
