About Me

You’re ready to sit and write your online dating profile. Well you’re not sure you feel ready, but you know you have to do it.You take a deep breath, power up the familiar glow and stare at that blank screen.That blinking cursor mocks you, like fingers tapping on a desk, asking when you’re going to write something.First of all, just like you can imagine more than one way to murder your ever-yelling neighbors, there’s no singular way to go about writing a profile.However, I get you don’t always want to be thrown into the deep end of a pool to figure out how to swim.For this exercise, I’m going to take you through one of the ways I write profiles for clients.Copy the format of the written profile of the site you’re using to a Word document. This way you have the prompts ready and you can write them without feeling pressured to finish and publish it.“Write drunk; edit sober.” ~“Write drunk; edit sober. Wait. Read it again.” ~ Gina Stewart1. Write drunk. Oh, no? Well at least I have my sense of humor.Anyway, while I won’t expressly advocate drinking whilst working on your profile (but it can help), I will say the spirit of this quote is one I embrace.When I first sit to write profiles or articles, I destroy that digital piece of paper by making it my digital dumping grounds.Start with a general umbrella idea and just start typing everything out: what you know you want to say, what you think you want to say and everything else that comes to mind.Pour out all the thoughts in your head. Half-baked facts, ideas, thoughts all get slewed on there.If you can’t think of exactly how you want to express something, just write how you sort of want to say it. Order and structure have no place.Place no judgment on anything you type. Even if it sounds silly as it starts to roll off your finger tips, just let it keep rolling. Slop it out there like you’re a rambling drunk.Remember, it’s always easier to delete than it is to create, so while you’re in creation mode, just let those things come out as much as possible.Never edit yourself as you write. Don’t feel like you have to have it planned out before you write. Just start writing. “Ultimately, your profile isn’t just about you. It’s about how others will react to you.”2. Edit sober.Once you’ve written a bunch of stuff and feel kind of tired and tapped out, then go away.Put your mind on something else: sometimes it’s another project, sometimes it’s going out to dinner, sometimes it’s taking a walk. Whatever.Clear the space of where your head was just at for a while. Create that “sobriety.”Then after some time has passed, go back and start moving what you’ve written around so it’s in a more coherent order. And that’s where we start the “sober edit.”Put like thoughts with like thoughts and create some sense out of what is on the Lets just see what sparks our interst and enjoy each other...We could go race big wheels..if you feel like you could keep up!!!

    Woman. 40 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 37-47

    Hi there. About me... I am a romantic person, love reading, big music fan - it's my passion, love watching movies. Love outdoors. Funny and educated.Looking for someone who will become my best friend and I can be myself around him and enjoy the life.I understand that it would be close to impossible, challenging perhaps to find Mr. Darsy here or the White Knight ( girl can dream at least) but if there is someone out there who can still hold the good values of relationships and not "too" scared of "hearts and flowers" then we should try it. We may find that spark...Looking for someone who has sense of humor, affectionate, not boring. Must love music... Dinner... maybe. Slow walk and talk. And yes - cup of tea would be great :-)

    Looking for: man. In age: 37-47

    I'm not sure what I'm looking for exactly but I think I'll just know when it comes around. I love dogs, of which I have two little ones, and anyone who isn't a dog lover need not bother to write. I'm a homebody but would like to get out more. I'd prefer someone who values higher education, has ambition and actively pursues a better future, and ****isn't older than 45**** (my dad is in his 50's and dating anyone close to his age is a turn off). I won't respond to guys that want an intimate encounter or hanging out. I don't like confrontation so if we argue at first, I'll stop seeing that person right away. Honestly, I want to find someone who isn't into games or drama, who wants a monogamous relationship that might lead into the future. I'm a very open and honest person who seeks the same. Generally, if you select meet me or add me to your favorites, I won't pay attention. I'm looking for intelligent conversation as well as attraction so if there's no picture for me to see if I'm attracted to someone (after all, I am sharing mine), I won't reply either. Nice dinner, lots of talking (cliche?). I tend to be a little old fashioned in some respects. I feel that if a man asks you out he should get the check, although I won't bother going out with someone I'm not already interested in. I'm not a gold digger and I'm not looking for a man to take care of me. I own a house and a car and can usually buy myself what I want. I do want someone who has a good job, is stable (financially as well as mentally), and that doesn't have a temper.

    Ok lets see..yes I know I am not a super model but I love how I look, and besides I only really have to make me happy right?? I am looking for someone I can trust, hang out with and have fun with. I am just as comfortable fishin on the river at 3 in the morning to getting dressed up for drinks and dinner. Love to laugh more than anything. I am a full time nurse who loves my job... Want a friend and partner but I don't need one. I'm looking for that man that is not bothered by the fact that can change my own oil and a flat if needed but would rather he do it. Very open and honest about all aspects of my life... hope to hear from you soonJust so it is clear.. I am not looking for a friend with benefits or one night stand. I am looking for a man who knows what he want and is not scared or intimidated by the fact that I do to. I love to laugh..I'm sarcastic and onery but i promise you will have fun. I do have tatoos and plan on getting more. My nose is pierced amd I guage my ears.. my pics are current. ***friendly anything.... dinner no movies, or just hang out and talk. I am just as comfortable in jeans and tshirts as i am in skirt and heels plus i look good in both I promise
