College can get lonely at times and when you don’t have someone special in your life, your video games and drinking will only take you so far in life when it comes to entertainment.  With the Internet  how it is today, you can potentially reach thousands in your area when it comes do dating.  Unlike the older days, you had to go to bar, know someone that knew someone to find that perfect person for you.  Now, you can place a profile online with some information and it will match you up with someone that’s nearly perfect for you.  I’ll explain how you can create the perfect dating profile.

Find the perfect website – There are thousands on websites out there where you can reach thousands of other people.  Most of them are going to cost you money but some are free like PlentyofFish.com.  If you’re looking to pay, you might want to go to websites such as -

Create your profile – No matter what dating website you sign up, you’re going to realize that most of them are the same when it comes to creating your profile.  The first thing you’re going to want to do is create a very catchy headline.   This is going to be the first thing people look at it.  Instead of “24 year old Male”, change it to “Exciting Motivated Young One Looking for Same”.  Make yourself unique.  No one wants to see the same thing profile after profile.

Be short and sweet – In your biography, don’t write a whole life story.  Instead, write down some cliff notes, making the potential date wanting more.  Instead of writing 5,000 words, try and keep it to a maximum of 500 words.  Write down the main things such as your job, interests, and things going on in your life.  When you go on your first date, this is when you can spill all about yourself.

Keep it upbeat – Never ever be negative in your ad.  Instead of “You may think I’m fat..”, try and pick out the positives such as “I’m a happy person who enjoys the outdoors”.  No one in life likes a negative person.  Keep the negativity to yourself because no one wants to hear your complaining.

NEVER lie – If your goal is to find someone, you’re going to have to meet that person face to face someday.  This means that you shouldn’t lie on your profile because it’s all going to come around and bite you in the butt sooner or later.  This means if you’re 50, don’t put I’m 35.  Also, try and have a picture that’s up to date.  No one wants a picture that’s 5 years old.  Don’t be afraid to be honest!

The main rule when creating a dating website is to be short, simple, sweet, and honest.  If you can follow these golden rules, creating the perfect profile won’t be hard at all.  Keep your head up and you’ll be able to find the perfect somebody!
