Online Dating Tips: 1st Impressions Count Even Online

Along with your photo, your username and headline are the first things men see when they browse through profiles. You can just use your first name of course but this is the first chance to sell your profile so use something that describes what you like to do or one of your best qualities.

Some dating online services allow you to add a so called headline or tagline. This is an extra chance along with your photo and username to get people to read your profile. Or as said before an extra opportunity to sell yourself.

Some services pick this tagline from the first few lines of your profile and this can create some weird sentence so if you have the chance to create a headline yourself it will give you a chance to stand out from the crowd.

Always try to find out how many characters (including spaces) you can use in this line. You don’t want to write a headline that’s too long and will be cut off at a point that turns your tagline into something that doesn’t make sense.

Writing a tagline to get people interested isn’t easy but there are some ways to do this. Think about advertising campaigns you like and why you liked them, it probably had something to do with the punch line. Advertising companies are selling a product, you try to sell your profile!

Use a variation of a quote you like or a line from your favorite movie, if you have a sense of humor show it here. If you like this idea but lack the inspiration just search the internet for “funny quotes”, “funny taglines” or “best dating profile headlines” and you’ll find inspiration. Pick a quote that fits with your profile, you don’t want to seem funny here and bore them into leaving your profile once they’ve clicked through.

You can’t please everybody so don’t try to be everything to everyone. Some people might not get your joke or like your sense of humor but you don’t want to date those people anyway so nothings lost.
