Don’t know what to write in your online dating profile? Try this.

Diving into the world of online dating?

Struggling to write your profile without rambling on and on and onnnnnn forever?

Here’s a template to help you craft an interesting, playful, not-too-long dating profile.

I hope it helps you to express yourself more confidently, connect with someone special, and… who knows? Maybe even find true love.

TEMPLATE: A little about me.

I think every morning should begin with __________________ and every evening should end with __________________.

I feel proud of myself when __________________. I feel annoyed at myself when __________________ (but I’m working on that.)

If you were to peek inside my fridge right now, you would find __________________.

I feel calm when __________________. I feel scared when __________________.

My number one goal, right now, is __________________.

I’ve been told that I have very beautiful __________________.

My favorite thing about being in a relationship is __________________.

If we go on a date, you can expect __________________.

If you write to me, I want to know: [insert intriguing question here].

EXAMPLE: A little about me.

I think every morning should begin with strong coffee (triple shot of espresso, please!) and every evening should end with snuggling, cozy blankets, and maybe a Netflix episode or two.

I feel proud of myself when I finish a big, challenging project, particularly creative projects. I feel annoyed at myself when I say “Yes!” to too many commitments and over-schedule myself (but I’m working on that.)

If you were to peek inside my fridge right now, you would find iced coffee, milk, caramel, several types of cheese, prosciutto, grapes, random mustards, salad fixings, and leftovers from last night’s Thai takeout.

I feel calm when I’m hiking in the middle of the forest (I try to get out there at least once a month). I feel scared when I’m a passenger in a car and the driver is going too fast and aggressively (please don’t).

My number one goal, right now, is to finish writing my next book — ask me about it on our first date and I’ll share more. :)

I’ve been told that I have very beautiful eyes (greenish-blue) and also, I give pretty epic hugs.

My favorite thing about being in a relationship is that moment when you both realize that staying in and just being together on a Saturday night is the most fun “plan” that you can imagine.

If we go on a date, you can expect lots of questions (like, “What’s the best birthday cake you’ve ever eaten?”) because I tend to ask a lot of questions when I feel nerv-cited (nervous + excited).

If you write to me, I want to know: “What was the best part of your day, so far?”

Happy writing. Happy dating.

Here’s to love!
