When you’re filling our your online dating profile, you want to show your personality. In other words: don’t be vague. Give them something to ask about/inquire about. A few tips

1) Answer all the profile questions, no matter how silly they seem. It’s your only chance talk directly about yourself in your own words. The answers also give the visitor a reason to stay on the page while working up the courage to message you.

2) Get specific with your answers. Don’t just respond “Italy” to “What’s an awesome place you’ve visited?” What about it did you love? Did you have a favorite gelato shop that you couldn’t live without? Did you meet amazing people? Are you Italian and did you love seeing your great-grandparent’s hometown?

3) Gutsy Move: Acknowledge that someone is reading this — don’t be afraid to mention your potential future boyfriend/girlfriend.
