Creating the Perfect Profile Header

Most online dating websites will encourage you to have a short profile header line that is used with your username. This profile header line is usually used in searches that other members do to find appropriate matches for what they are looking for in someone they want to meet. Don’t make the mistake of putting just anything into your profile header since this will leave you with responses to your online dating ad that you don’t want. You want to have a profile header line that gets you immediate attention. This includes lines that are funny, cute, or philosophical. You want to encourage the right people to click on your profile and find out more about you.

There are some aspects of the profile header line that you should focus on so that you get the most mileage out of these few short words. Avoid using headers that hundreds of other people use and that by now are becoming very boring. Overused headers are those such as “I’m the one you’re looking for” or “want to meet new people”. You don’t want to be part of the rest of the crowd who is looking for an online date. You want to stand out from the rest with a description of who you are.

Take a look at other profile headers before you start writing your own. Choose headers that interest you and try to come with a similar slant. Determine what it is about those headers that you like and why. Some successful header ideas are “Sharp spark wants to ignite similar paths” or “Here I am…do you have any other wishes”. The insight of other profile headers can guide you in being creative with your own.

Your profile header is one way that you can filter out your potential online dates from those that aren’t even in the running. If you want to increase the number of people who are interested in you for the right reasons you can include some specifics in your header line such as “Looking for 24-30 year old man who loves to golf” or “You need to be at least 5’9” to get on this ride”.

Change your profile header every once in a while so that you get more responses to your online ad. Come up with a cute new header every week so that you’re attracting different kinds of people. You might want to think about changing your photo just as often so there is a fresh angle on you each week for new members to find.
