Before we get into my five ways to break the ice on your first date, let’s talk about breaking the ice online first
So the time has come. You’ve decided to start dating. Whether you’re new to dating or a dab hand at it, writing your dating profile can be difficult.We hope these tips will help you along the way.
Don’t be someone you’re not and please don’t lie.
A client got in touch with us recently say that his new partner ended their relationship because she discovered he’d lied about his age on his dating profile.
There’s honestly no reason to be anyone but yourself.
There’s someone out there for everyone and being honest will aid you in finding them.
Some of the feedback we get all the time from clients is that they are never sure whether people are on dating apps for a one-night stand or to meet their special someone.
So make sure to outline what your intentions are. If you’re playing the field, make sure your profile reflects this. Or if you’re looking to settle down, say so.
There’s nothing worse than going on a first date with someone you’ve been chatting to for a while to later find out that you both want different things out of your dating experience.
When writing your dating dating profile, mention the kind of things you’d want to read about other people.
You only have a split second to grab someone’s attention so make sure your main dating photo is on point.
Keep your profile short and to the point. The idea of your dating profile is to get people interested in wanting to learn more about you.

Your friends will also be honest. If they think you’re falsely representing yourself or giving away too much information – they’ll tell you.
You only have a split second to grab someone’s attention so make sure your main dating photo is on point!
A picture speaks a thousand words. And although it’s not a great feeling being judged on your appearance, without a photo, you’re going to attract very little attention.
Your photos should show the real you. And only you.
Don’t upload photos that include your ex-husband, your granny or your children.
