 Once you’ve found the right online dating service for you, it’s time to create the perfect profile so you get the most out of your internet dating experience. When it comes to online dating profiles, many of you are keeping things awfully broad. I’m seeing a lot of “I love the outdoors” and “I like eating out” and “I’m a people person”.
Let’s help your prospects in the internet dating game find out your particulars, the specific things that make you special. You might not have found your passions yet, so as your Romance Coach, I’d like to help you find the clues. When you really know what lights your fire, you’ll present a clearer image of yourself...and find a better online dating match.
Here are 3 ways to pinpoint your specific interests:
1. SPY ON YOURSELF. Look for clues to your passions by reading past journals and daily planners. Review photo albums. Rummage through your closet, attic and basement for keepsakes, clippings and momentoes. Make a list of the activities, accomplishments and events you are proudest of, most interested in -- the things that make your mind race and heart pound.
2. ORDER YOUR LIST. Rank all of the items on your list, starting with those that interest you most. They might be things you’re already doing, but they might be things you’ve never pursued and would like to. You might surprise yourself to find that some of the things you haven’t done in years rank higher than activities you’re currently involved in.
3. SCHEDULE YOUR PASSIONS. Pencil in time to explore your strongest interests. If something general like “eating” topped your list, make a plan to peruse cook books at the book store, or maybe take a cooking class. Getting out of your chair and diving into your passion helps you find out the specifics: is it Chinese cooking that fascinates you? Bread-making? Wine-tasting? You’ll know once you get active.
When you find your passions, you become more of who you truly are. You’ll find you have more to contribute, and that will make you a better lover. Being as specific as possible about yourself will help you find the best possible dates on-line. |
