If you already have signed up to an online dating site you know that filling out personal details about yourself can be quite daunting. How do you want people to view you? What are your good and bad sides?

We give you some tips that might ease the matchmaking process:

• Think before you search: Know what you are after before you start searching. Are you looking for a serious or casual relationship? Does your profile reflect what you are searching for? Make sure that you tailor your ad to what you search for and you will get more replies.
• When working on your online profile consider putting up an image of you at work (professional), with a family member or pet, with friends (shows your social skills), an image from you travelling or doing something exciting. This will convey a positive image of you as a person and attract more attention.
• Make sure you fill out the whole profile. Online dating sites usually have a matchmaking engine that does the work for you. The more work you put into your profile, the more it will do the work for you!
• Use humour in your profile title and description of yourself! Make it fun and interesting to read. Instead of just saying "I'm funny", use some examples such as "I'm a wandering quotebook of Monthy Python"
• When filling out the online matchmaking tool try to see yourself from an outsiders perspective. Think of your positive sides and highlight these when describing yourself
• Check your grammar and spelling. Spending some extra time checking your profile before you post is time well spent. Poor grammar and spelling does not lead to a good first impression.
• You can say that online dating is a numbers game. Don't spread yourself out too thin! Think about signing up to more than one dating site, which will increase you chances of finding someone special.
• If you find someone that interests you - make sure that you read their profile thoroughly before contacting them. If you pick up on an interest that you have in common, use that when contacting the person.
