Creating a Profile

Creating a profile

Your profile is your online persona as far as other users of an online dating service is concerned. You've heard of first impressions being important, right? Well, your profile will be the first impression that you create if someone finds you on a dating site. Even if you're an ugly no-hoper, hopefully this article will help you to create a profile that will have people flocking to contact you.

Contact Information

Hopefully you've already read the first part of this dating guide referring to safety. If not, please head on back and take the time to read through it. It's not a long article and only in fact lists key points to consider that will keep you safe.

It is however worth reiterating here that you should not give out any contact information along with your profile. Most quality dating services will guard against this anyway, because they too want to keep you safe. However, there may be some that don't check all new profiles by hand and so it is worth mentioning here.

You may also want to consider creating a separate email account to use with the dating services. You'll probably be surprised at how much you will end up using this account once the ball gets rolling! It helps to keep all your dating related emails separate, in the interest of organisation (anyone know what that is?!). As your email account will likely be your primary source of communication with the dating service a separate one specifically used for this purpose can really be handy. Setting up new email accounts is easy these days. Just make use of a free email hosting services such as hotmail or Yahoo! Etc.
