You are all set up and ready to go, the PC is secure and you are aware of all the pitfalls relating to giving away personal information. You have registered with a web site and now you need to find that special someone. Who are they? Where are they? How will you find them? Unfortunately there is no easy answer but here are some tips that may make the journey easier.

The number and quality of responses that you get from an online dating website depends mostly on your profile. A good profile may help you find the romance you have been hoping for and looking for, for life, an average profile may make users move on.

The first and most effective way to make someone stop and read your profile is your picture. It should be a picture that looks like you and it should be a good photograph, clear and distinct. If you can find a photo which shows you doing something different, a photo that would stand out to someone just glancing through, then this is the one to use. If you are looking for love and using the site as a real tool for this then don't be tempted to use a photo of someone else or one that is 15 years out of date. In the end you will get hurt.

A good opening line is the best way to get noticed, scan through other people's profiles and see what attracts you most. Then use this information to build your own opening line. Whilst going through other peoples profiles note down anything of relevance regarding yourself that you may not have thought of.

You can then complete your profile. Be careful about your language, spelling and punctuation. There is nothing more annoying than trying to read a profile that is littered with miss spelt words. Who would want to date someone who couldn't even spell their own name?

Have one look back at what you have written, is it fair? Is it accurate? Have you stated your strong points? Is there some humour contained within it? If you have fulfilled these points and not run yourself down then you have completed the ideal profile.
