Once you have chosen and signed up for a free dating website, your next step is to create a profile. Remember that your profile is your most powerful tool to draw attention to yourself. It is how others can know more about you. So, grab this opportunity to tell the world who you are. If you write a profile catchy enough, you get the chance to grab the attention of more singles. The more attention you get, the more friends you make and the more chances you have of finding Mr. and Ms. Right on the free dating website.
If you don't have any idea where to start with your profile, you can try skimming through various profiles in the free dating website you chose. Find out which profiles catch your interest and why they do. Ask friends as well to do so. What will attract you are most likely the same factors which will grab the attention of others.
For Women
Your profile should be all about you. It should present your interests, your likes and dislike, your passions. Make sure that you include the qualities you are looking for in a potential partner. Take note that your profile has a large bearing on the number as well as the kind of responses that you get from a free dating website.
For Men
If you are looking for an intimate or physical relationship (as many men in most free sites are), try not to write about sex as it might discourage most women. Instead, try to create a touch of mystery into your personal profile. The more mysterious and intriguing your profile is, the more responses from women you will most likely get. Women usually like a subtle touch of passion and sensuality, so never make the mistake of being blatant.
When you are setting your profile on your free dating website, be very careful about the words you use, your spelling and your punctuation. These kinds of errors can be a little annoying; not to mention, discouraging. How can you be attracted to someone who can't even spell right?
Post photos
Posting photographs can liven your profile in interesting ways. Profiles that have photos on them are able to draw in more attention than those without. There are some guidelines to follow when posting photos as well. First, try to go for something that is catchy, but not too bold; attractive, but shows exactly how you look. Try to avoid photos which can lead people to have the wrong impression about you.
Be positive
Never insert negative words in your profile such as "lonely" or "discouraged." You don't want to sound pathetic or desperate to find someone. Be positive instead, as your optimism can easily attract potential friends and partners.
Once you have written your free dating website profile, do not hesitate to change it as soon as something new comes up. The best profiles seem to be those which have been revised a couple of times. If your profile now does not seem to draw in as much people as you want, try to tinker around it until you are satisfied with the results.

Dating confusion and trust issues...
By: Cherie | 14-08-2008
What is a man feeling if he gives you a dozen roses after seeing him for roughly a month? I'm just very confused (and untrusting) after having my heart put through what feels like a meat grinder previously and want to be able to trust my heart again.

He text Me
By: crazycat | 03-08-2008
My ex tetxed me. is he trying to control me? and by control how? I think hes trying to hurt me more. he really wnats to hurt me I think. I wish he woulda told me why he was so mad at me. he called 100 times in 1 month when he knew me
My Ex Texted me. why????
I emailed my ex 2 or 3 times a week for a month trying to figure out why he called me ugly and he don;t wanna be friends and he never liked me. Well I saw up his facebook profile was single . so I decided I wanted to just wish him good luck in finding somebody else to date and then start moving on. so I sent one last email to that matter letting him know I wished him good luck in finding other people to date. and if he changes his mind about never seeing me again he can call me when he gets back . and if he wants to ever be friends he can tetx my phone. and I left it at that. Pretty much told him to have a nice life. Then I did not email him for 2 weeks. Which I had to block him for awhile b/c they the insuolts like me being ugly and he dont wanna be friends were so bad. But then I had unblocked him by then and told him that in one of the emails in case he wanted to write an apology to me. Anyways, all fo a sudden here comes a text! It says "Stop emailing me!" I texted back "I have nto emailed you in 2 weeks." His reply "stop textting!" Why didn't he text me to stop emailing all the times he had emails from me? Why wait until there is none from me to tell me to stop? his profile is set to single still. Thanks for your help. I still do nto know why he ended it like he did and said those insults to me like i AM UGLY AND HE NEVER LIKED ME. Maybe he amde that stuff up as a breakup technique Idk I never thoguth I would hear from him again. i GUESS HE DID NOT LIKE me WHEN he met me OR WHEN HE SAW me 3 DAYS BEFORE HE left. oh and he was probably drunk when he tetxt. he usually was. i think he was mad at me about something on the way out when he left. I just had told him in emails i am sorry whatever it was i did .

By: Krissy | 03-08-2008
I met a man at a party and we hit it off really well. We talked on the phone every day for a week and then went out on a date it went really well. He even called me when he got home from our date and asked if he could see me again. The problem is we havent spoken in over a week. Is he not into me?
Met a girl off the internet
By: bikerider69 | 01-08-2008
I met a girl off the internet on monday, before we emailed a few times and we met at the movies. all went gravy i think, ended with a nice hug. Seems like she's been tired or too tired so she hasnt emailed me, or text me as much as before. I've asked her and says shes been just very tired and not feeling well. What does this mean?
