Lonely?
Looking for love? Seeking your match? If your headline can't express
anything more creative than that, then you're missing a huge
opportunity to stand out from the crowd—a crowd that includes
millions of singles who also are lonely, looking for love and
seeking their matches.
Making your headline special
What makes a headline
hot? The same qualities that make you special: Your unique sense of
humor; your captivating smile; your brilliant brain, your good
heart...
Someone out there is looking for what you've got. To receive more
responses — and attract the kind of matches you really want to meet
— try these 10 tricks to revise your headline and grab someone's
attention:
1. Sell yourself
Ask your friends what they think a prospective date would find most
attractive about you. Then don't be shy; put those qualities out
there for your match to see.
2. Be yourself
Remember, the real you has to live up to that headline.
3. Be original
Anyone can (and does) say "Seeking My Soul Mate." Ask yourself,
"Would this headline make me want to click through to learn more?"
If the answer is no, dig deeper.
4. Turn on the charm
In online dating, unless your first impression is positive, it may
also be your last. Be sure your headline tempts singles to learn
more about you.
5. Be positive
Talk about what you have to give, not about what you want your match
to give you.
6. Be accessible
If you oversell yourself, your prospective matches will either
perceive that they're out of your league or that your ego's out of
theirs.
7. Go for a laugh
Everyone finds a sense of humor sexy, and it's a great way to "break
the ice." If you can make someone laugh or smile, you've already
scored big points.
8. Be reasonable
If you say you're looking for a princess or a knight in shining
armor, your match may shy away from you on the grounds that no one
can live up to your fantasies. Even words like "gorgeous" can scare
away a prospective date.
9. Be careful
Errors in spelling and grammar count, and an ill-placed typo can
count you out. You don't have to be perfect, but your headline
should be.
10. Be innovative
Use some of these sample headlines to inspire your own creation:
-
Movie-lover seeks
hand to hold until the last credits roll
-
Good listener
eager to hear the sound of your voice
-
Let me inspire
that great smile of yours!

smart connection
-
Photographer
ready to focus all his attention on you

fun, and I can prove it!
