Want to know how to get a high click rate? If you can’t figure out what to say for your online dating profile that leads to success, then try a few of this strategic tips.

Show and Tell. Do you remember that funny little part of your childhood education? Do you remember the anticipation and excitement you felt when you were five years old and it was your turn to show your favorite possession and then tell about it? When you join an online dating service, you have much the same feeling of anticipation and excitement. The prospect of having people approve of you and possibly accept you as someone they want to have around them is exhilarating.

Creating a potent and compelling online dating profile is hard to say the least especially if you aren’t a writer. Many tend to exaggerate and make themselves more into what they wish you would see instead of what they actually are. Still others downplay their positive attributes, preferring to remain homey and down to earth. Neither one of these is correct.

Honesty is always best the best policy and if you are trying to make them see what you wish you were or if you aren’t presenting yourself the way you are because you are being modest, the best thing to do is to ask a friend to sit in with you to make sure you are keeping it real. The person you are trying to attract will eventually agree to meet you if you have written an eye catching profile. Statistics show that people can only keep up a façade of playing someone other than themselves for 3-6 months. Do you want to find Mr./Mrs. Right only to lose him/her because you have become Mr./Mrs. Wrong to them? Adhere to the honesty policy.

If you’re funny person in real life then show how funny you are in your writing. Don’t tell someone you’re funny, e.g. “I’m funny and have a great sense of humor.” Win them over by writing something clever and catchy. That will make them a believer.

I love to write, so let me give you an example of something funny and clever that people seem to love. Football fans will enjoy this one. (This is not for your profile, but used as an example of funny lines I have used when talking to an audience.): “If your partner is more concerned about that 3rd and 1 on television, than the 4th and 23 in your own living room, then you might be another statistic on the playing field of love. Tell them to not try for a 58 yard field goal, go for six instead.”

Do you see the trick language in the sentences? Can you see what I’m writing about? Word pictures are very powerful tools that help draw the reader in and help to reveal who you are and what you are about. Another important aspect of your online dating profile is you. Show them a picture of you. A picture speaks volumes (as long as the listener is tuned in) about who you are. If you say you are sporty but have a picture of you sitting on a couch, what does that say? Use a picture of you on a bike, in a race, waterskiing, etc.

The way your eyes sparkle and shine will reveal a lot about you in a picture. If they sparkle with what’s called a “catch light,” the viewer will be more drawn to you. (A catch light is the little light that shows up on the pupil). If your eyes look suave, the viewer will probably click you away. Make sure to do a spelling and grammar check before you post to an online dating site. Words that are spelt incorrectly and bad punctuation can tune a lot of people out and then they will click you off.

A couple of last words of advice: Forget about negativity in your profile and don’t talk about ex-relationships. That will give the reader a sense that you are a serial dater and perhaps a heartbreaker. Avoid phrases like: “I don’t play games.”; “I love long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and romantic nights by the fire.” You can show them that when you meet them.

All the people that I surveyed in the past have said that lines such as the above are red flags and a sign that he/she is a “player.” Online dating can be fun, exciting and successful, but be safe and enjoy the process. When you finally connect with someone on an online dating site, agree to meet at a coffee shop during the day.
