Dating Services and Tips

Writing an Online Dating Profile

What’s the secret to getting noticed online?  Taking action and actually writing an online dating profile definitely helps!  Even if it’s only 2 or 3 sentences long.  While this seems obvious, many daters don't do it. 

When I’ve browsed the profiles at the online dating sites I joined, I noticed that some people leave the ‘about me’ portion of their profile blank.  What’s the point of joining an online dating site if other daters can’t read a bit about you?  If you’re serious about meeting potential dates or even a friend, at least tell us a bit about yourself and what you’re looking for.

Fortunately, some online dating sites require members to include a minimum of 2 sentences, for instance, in the ‘about me’ and ‘what I’m looking for’ areas of their profile before they will allow it to be posted for other members to see.

If you don't have your profile up - get writing!  Who knows what those words could lead to...

The Three Types of Dating Sites

As you have probably discovered, there are hundreds of dating sites on the internet.  I found over 350 dating sites when I started my Dating Services and Tips dating review site.

I noticed all of these sites could be organized into three types:  online dating, speed dating, and matchmaking.  Each service attempts to match people up in a slightly different way.

Online dating sites allow members to write a profile and then search other member profiles to find a potential date or mate.

Matchmaking sites find potential matches for you.  Once you complete a comprehensive questionnaire the site matches you with other members who are compatible with you.

Speed dating sites organize live events that allow you to meet a number of potential dates over the course of a few hours.

The pros and cons of each are explained further in Tip 1 of our Ready, Set, Date! ecourse.
