Online Dating Adventure: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Beginning your online dating adventure

Beginning your online dating adventure

Saturday

Making the most of your online dating adventure is as simple as a few strategic clicks and an updated profile.

The first thing you need to do is start with a membership where the most people are. If you’re shooting fish, the bigger the barrel, the more plentiful the fish and the more opportunities to hit something! Our Top Ten list of recommended dating services should be your first click.

Profile questionaires range from the very basic to the very involved. You should allow yourtself plenty of time to complete the task before you, and remember: be as honest as you can and only answer the questions that you’d feel perfectly comfortable with a stranger knowing the answers.

You have a digital camera, or a webcam. Who doesn’t these days, right? Us eit to take a nice “head and shoulders” picture of yourself to upload to your profile. It’s very easy to do this, all dating services have easy to follow instructions for this step. If there is an extra section for a photo album it’s a good idea to upload a few pictures but unless you have the permission of others in the photo keep the images limited to ones of only yourself.

The “Search” and “Browse” features to find other members is one of the most used and least understood features of any dating service. You want to, at first, browse for people like yourself and read through a few profiles. It’s good to know the “competition” as well as see how others that have similarities to you write their own profiles.

Finally, have fun!

To get you started, here’s my suggestion for your first headline to post with your profile:
“I’m new here, any tips to get a date?”

Have a great day!

Opportunity: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

BeardCember is coming!

BeardCember is coming!

Saturday

Are we champions or victims of opportunity?

Now that the late holidays are past us we have just one more to go, Christmas. (Remember, New Year’s is next year!)

My question to you today is: are you where you want to be because of the positive (and good) choices you’ve made or are you in a place that isn’t very kind because fate has dealt you a cruel hand?

We live our lives and do the best we can. I honestly believe that if we can make a positive change in even one other person’s life then we have lived a life that is worthwhile.

Big choices or small changes, either can make a difference in someone else’s life that then will help them to make a positive change for yet another person. A type of “Pay it Forward” that has near and long term results.

The things that we do and write no longer need to be written in stone, they are immediately immortalized online and in places all over the world, mostly unknown but still as close to eternal as current technology allows.

We can be “that person” that has control over their own life, that has compassion for another. As an example I offer you this:
“BeardCember” is coming!

This is a small Facebook group that is bringing some of my friends together to remind of us our fortune and how to share some “Christmas Cheer” while having some fun too. Feel freely invited to join and/or start your own group to share something this Christmas, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Even holding the door open for someone can have an impact that changes their entire day.

Give some thought to what I have written and asked.

For your dating profile headline today I offer you this suggestion:
“This is not a garage sale, it’s an invitation.”

Have a great day!

Change: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Embracing change

Embracing change

Saturday

Today I’m going to share something a little private: I have, in the past, been accused of not being able to accept change. I have been told that I am stern as well as inflexible, that I am resistant to change and unwilling to bend to the societal influences of the day.

While some people may see me as the above described person let me assure you I am not. As proof I offer the picture on the left. While it may appear to be a simple toilet paper roll, it is not. It is evidence of change. I am, and always have been, an “under roll” person, that is to say, the paper unrolls from the bottom of the roll holder, not an “over roll” person where the paper rolls off from the top of the roll.

A few days ago when I replaced the spent toilet paper roll, in the bathroom that I call my own, I had mistakenly placed the roll in the “over” position. When I noticed the error in that split second I decided to not switch the roll to the proper “under” position and leave it as it was/is. I offer this as proof that I can not only accept change but that I can also resist the overwhelming urge to revert the roll back to what I would normally state as being acceptable and right.

To sum up: “I have embraced change”.



If you’re reading this then it’s likely that you can accept change, after all, many would say that using an online dating service is of itself a sign of change, so good for you.

A type of change that I can offer to you today is a change in your online dating profile headline (of course, any of the headlines I write would also be suitable for a newspaper personal ad too, but that isn’t a sign of change, is it?) to something that asserts your uniqueness that accepts change. So consider using this as your headline today:
“I can change, therefore I am ready for the love you will bring”.

Have a great day!

Dod Eat Dog: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Ready for a manicure?

Ready for a manicure?

Saturday

I like to think that I can provide to you, my readers, some relevant and helpful dating advice, whether online or in the real world.

The truth can be hard to take and sometimes even brutal to hear. Being successful at dating means you can get past the first date and decide for yourself if the adventure will be worth the effort with the person you’ve started dating before they decide that they don’t want to date you.

It’s a dog eat dog world, right?

I have a friend, a girl that I used to work with, and she’s having a heck of a time with getting past the “friend” stage with the guy’s she meets and when she does make plans with a guy half of the time he flakes out on her. Tragic, really.

It hard to give really effective advice because so many situations are “outside of the box” and a neat little “you should do this” isn’t always the most effective or doable advice.

So I’ve been giving her situation a lot of thought and I think it’s time we move beyond the standards of how to act and how to react to different dating happenings.

Now it’s time to get personal and begin a change that just might entice a better class of men to be drawn towards her.

Yes, I’m talking about changing the t-shirts and jeans for a nicer blouse, with jeans or slacks, and most of all, a manicure. Nothing fancy, just a nail makeover with a clear coat to give her nails some classy shine. I’ll report later how things work out.

For you, look at the physical picture people see when they are with you. Are there any small changes that can bring big results? I bet there is, use the comments to ask questions about this.

For your Saturday night personal profile headline I suggest this to be posted:
“Read my profile. What is my most attractive feature?”

Have a great day!

Saturday

The weekend has arrived, fully. I like this and I’m sure you do too (unless you’re reading this at your desk, at work…).

Halloween evening is a day away and many of you will be out looking for some adult “Tricks or Treats” and for this I wish you luck. (You won’t want to miss our best Halloween pickup lines article.)

Besides knowing some good pickup lines knowing a simple magic trick or two will really score you some points. Watch how to make a coin disappear below. There aren’t too many times you can use magic as a pickup, happily this is one of those times. The trick below should take you no more than 20 minutes to master.

Sleight of Hand Magic Tricks : How to Make a Coin Disappear



You’ll have fun, I know you will…

Today is a good time to make the effort to get some chat time in and reply to some messages, or initiate contact with some interesting people, just to get an invite to a Halloween party or maybe a bar/pub event meetup.

For your dating ad headline today let’s work the Halloween event and go with:
“What will you be dressed up as for Halloween?”

Have a great day!

Co-operation: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Co-operation is awesome.

Co-operation is awesome.

Co-operation is awesome.

You know, two or more people getting together to tackle common problems, to find common solutions.

Governments do it, businesses do it, (some) cultures and religions too.

Even people using online dating services co-operate, too a larger degree than you’d think too.

Online dating has often been used as an alternative to meeting people in bars and pubs, taverns and other meeting/greeting events and establishments.

But any online dating service, like a pub or bar, is only as successful as the people visiting it make it successful, in a way.

When people stop going to any gathering place, to gather elsewhere, the first place goes out of business – quickly. Online dating services are in this same customer-dependent/oriented business model.

They don’t necessarily want you to be successful at dating, not quickly at any rate. Stick around for 6 months, a year, and you’re odds of meeting a lot of new friends, and even that special someone joining up to find you, increase dramatically. Of course, so does their coffers, with your membership fees.

When you, and others like you, co-operate to remain as an active member for a good period of time, you ensure not only a healthy dating business, but an active dating lifestyle too.

As I said: “Co-operation is awesome”.

So go forth and date. Make your life easy and start with a “Top Ten” dating service and co-operate with the dating profile questions, chat it up with the other members and have some fun in your life. And remember to have a great dating profile headline like this one:
“I have made the first move, now it’s your turn!”

Have a great day!

Sunset: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Take a sunset photo today.

Take a sunset photo today.

Saturday

Today I will be giving my lawn it’s final grooming and putting up the snow fences to manage the white stuff when it falls, and fall it will. Some in these parts are calling for a brutal snowy winter. And I haven’t found a kid yet to shovel out my driveway when needed.

I am hoping to not have to shovel this winter season.

But for today the mower will be put to work. Don’t think you’ve escaped either. That’s right, you.

I want you to begin preparing for winter, for longer, darker nights. It’s only a couple of weeks and the clocks will “fall back” and once again we will be living in more dark than light again.

Today I want you to take advantage of these waning hours, to grab your camera and take some photos of the sunset in your area. Find a nice skyline to shoot if you can. Add these photos to your online profile and take heart knowing that spring will come again.

Your headline to post today is:
“The sun is not ours to command.”

Have a great day!

Liu Xiaobo, Nobel Peace Prize Winner 2010

Liu Xiaobo, Nobel Peace Prize Winner 2010

Saturday

I am a believer in my own intellect.

I believe that I can dissect the facts and come to a reasonable conclusion.

Maybe “reasonable” is too disparate a word. Men of “reason” understand that reason is both a shield and a hammer.

Since the dawn of time reason has been used to defend any position men have found to be “reasonable” and attack any position they deem “unreasonable” in that they can deduce the facts but weighted to base their own means to an end using reason.

It is this systematic reasoning that allows both evil and good to seem to balance out but in truth the game is fixed.

The laws of the land are held by the men that can form reason and explain their means to an end based on a methodology that is not fair and often lawless.

Yesterday, Friday October 8, 2010, with the announcement of Liu Xiaobo winning the Nobel Peace Prize, based on his determination to rail his people against the “reason” of the machine that occupies the power structure of his homeland and forcing him into an unwarranted confinement, is an incredible example of the reason of man and the inherent evil that men are capable of with their interpretation of “reason”.

I ask that you do your part, as a person of reason and as a person that will stand up to the fight against the unreasonable that is in our world today and find a way to make a stand, just as Liu Xiaobo has made a stand of reason and is now punished beyond tears for his determination.

I call to you to repeat this post, to flood the internet with this message that we will not stand idly by, that we, also being people of reason and being able to discern real truth from the hammer of reason, will commit some small measure towards the freedom of Liu Xiaobo and the people that find his reason to be reasonable.

Today I ask that you post as your dating profile headline this simple sentence:
“I will stand with Liu Xiaobo, a man of reason.”

Have a great day!

Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Finding the target.

Finding the target.

Saturday

Have you been throwing it all away?

Missing the opportunities that keep you up late at night, wondering where it all went so horribly wrong?

Join the club!

But we have the power to make the changes in our lives that initiate real change. It’s just a matter of accepting the fact that real change is needed, right?

Today’s headline for you to post to your online dating profile is not an admission of the things that are wrong in our lives but more an arrow pointing to an immediacy of change that starts, well, starts now. So post this and begin:
“I will share triumph with you!”

Have a great day!

Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Different but the same.

Different but the same.

Saturday

It’s rain, rain and more rain in today’s weather forecast.

This allows me the freedom to stay inside and push away thoughts of mowing, pruning and generally cleaning up the yards.

Good for me!

Not that I really need excuses to avoid the outside maintenance jobs that are piling up, but wet is wet, right? This decision has been taken out of my hands.

We often find life takes the decisions out of our hands. What happens was meant to happen type of attitude. It’s easy to remain indecisive and let life make the decisions for you. I know, I’ve been there, we’ve all been there. But indecision is also a decision. Failure to act doesn’t mean you aren’t stuck with living out the consequences, life happens.

Today I am giving you the opportunity to act, to take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and make the first move on someone you find attractive and interesting in your online search for a suitable dating partner (or for a more committed relationship).

When you find that profile that life tells you to respond in a message, start writing your reply like this:
“Hi, You and I share (some common interest) and I’d like to say that I find (common interest) one of the activities that helps to keep me active in a fun way. Other that what’s in you profile what is your next favorite thing to do here in (name of city)? I like to do (another activity) have you ever tried it?
I will wait for your reply, talk with you soon again, (your name).”

See, your first reply to an online dating profile doesn’t have to be thousands of words long or go into a lot of detail about yourself, hopefully you’ve answered the profile questions rather completely so that your profile stand son it’s own. Messages should ask questions about the things you have in common and after a few exchanged emails it’s time to arrange for a coffee date.

And as you move forward into meeting attractive and interesting people, consider your own profile and what a person checking you out will find out.

Also remember that your profile headline is your very first impression so don’t write something that is too intense or requires a specific type of humor to understand. Light and fluffy headlines always work well to capture someone attention and interest. Today, post this as your headline:
“We can turn the world on it’s head!”

Have a great day!

Dating Profile Headline of the Day

When we meet...

When we meet...

Saturday

On this day, nine Septembers later, we need to look at where we were and where we’re headed.

Life continues, our memorial is in not failing to live, to take our freedom to the world.

Dating is a very large part of enjoying the freedom of our lives, to take our love of life and share this love with others.

Always remember that love does conquer all.

When you log in and re-read your online dating profile, as I encourage you to do regularly, write about yourself in a way that expresses your desire to share.

This openness is the most attractive quality you can ever display.

For your headline today you should show all who come across your profile headline who you are and where you’re headed. Post this:
“When we meet we will know.”

Have a great day!

Secrets do not last long.

Secrets do not last long.

Saturday

If you’re with me this weekend, that is, you’re doing the “long weekend” thing at home between a friend’s place and the backyard or balcony, then you’re with me.

Good for you.

While a lot of people you know are off camping, boating and other daring doings we’re the smart ones, saving the gas and rental fees to have extra dollars for online dating memberships and coffee dates.

Yes, life is good.

Even myself, I will be working today at a retail job, selling computers to the literate, offering advice to the incomprehensible.

I’d laugh at myself if it didn’t hurt so much. But my point is, we do what we need to do, when we need to do it.

Sane and thoughtful, looking at the future is what we types do, right?

I know you’d agree with me on that last point.

Agreeable people always seek out people of the same type but have often tried the “opposites attract” approach before deciding that life just doesn’t work out like that. Good for you there’s a free communication weekend going on right now at eharmony.com. You can find a compatible match rather than a shouting partner. Hopefully.

And first and foremost (after you complete the personality profile and comprehensive membership questionnaire) you need an outstanding headline to help catch that first glimpse of someone’s attention as they scan their hopeful matches. I suggest this:
“Your future has brought you here, what is next?”

Have a great weekend!
