Writing your online dating profile is one of the most important things you can do to be successful in online dating.  After completing the basic demographic questions (age, sex, location) on the MatchMakingInc.com site you’ll be asked to create a user name.  This user name will be a unique identifier that other site members will see as your “name”.  By using a user name rather than your real first name, it helps ensure your personal privacy and safety.   

The user name you choose should not only be unique, but it also needs to be personal, interesting and somehow indicative of who you are, without being off putting, too long or a challenge to pronounce. 

The substance of your profile will be listed in the ‘My profile’ section.  It’s usually a paragraph or two describing who you are and what you are looking for.  It is here that you will be able to list information on your hobbies, interests, your work or family life, things that you think are the most interesting or engaging about yourself.

Next, you can invite the person reading your profile to contact you so they might join you in doing something you just intimated you are interested in or passionate about.

Lastly, take time to review your finished work and make sure to spell check it.  If you’d like, you may want to consider having a friend, someone that knows you well, review your profile before you publish it on the site.
