When writing a Christian dating service profile, it is important that it be
unique and well-written.
Online dating sites pivot on profiles. Your Christian dating service profile
will determine your success or failure at online dating. Unfortunately most
sites require that you fill out your profile to gain entry. Many quickly fill
this in and move on. Big mistake, provide only as much as is required to gain
entry to the site. Come back within a few days to write a real profile.
Now that you have access to other members’ profiles the real work begins.
First
get really clear about your perfect match. What exactly are you looking for? Do
a little dreaming, what would your perfect date be? How would this person
respond to you? How would you like to respond to them? What are their character
traits?
In their book "The Relationship Attractor Factor" Susie and Otto Collins
assert that it is important to know both what you want and what you do not want!

Once you have a clear idea of what you are looking for use the search feature on
the dating site for profiles of members within your age and distance range.
Take
your time and read their profiles. What are they looking for? What is their idea
of a perfect match? What are their likes and dislikes?
Copy the profiles that are most interesting to you and paste them into a word
document on your computer!
With this information you can target your profile to the type of person you
would like to attract.
If they enjoy camping and hiking and you enjoy the same things, write in your
profile that you have spent time camping and hiking.
Don’t forget to check out the profiles of your competition. You will probably
notice that they all sound about the same. Most profiles are filled with
adjectives and dislikes. Move to the head of the crowd with anecdotes rather
than adjectives and your likes rather than your dislikes. For even more help

Don’t get ahead of yourself with this, if you met someone for the first time,
would you run up and tell them that you have been lonely for years, have no
life, aren’t going to take any guff off anyone, and that your are only looking
for someone that wants to get married, settle down, have children and follow
your rules. No? Well don’t do it with your profile either. Remember it is a
dating site. If you meet someone date a few times and the magic is there then
all the better.
Armed with a clear idea of what both you and your ideal match are looking for
it’s time to edit your profile.
Think about how you want to present yourself.
Outline what you want to write, then do what the professional ad writers do,
proof read and edit.
I am a_______. That enjoys_______. I would like to meet a _______. That
enjoys______.
Turn each of the above into a paragraph and all of the paragraphs into a short
story about your self. Go back in a day or so and read your profile as if you
were a stranger, then re-write and spell check it!
Important Note.
Your Christian dating service profile is an advertisement for the most important
product in the world, yourself!
It is the only way someone can make a decision to contact you or not.
A poorly written or vague Christian dating service profile will at the best
bring you no responses and at the worst bring a bunch of the wrong responses.
Remember a good Christian dating service profile is about
being yourself and being honest!
