Writing tip #1: Let's chat

Give your potential matches some conversation starters: Tell about your favorite movies and food and be sure to talk about your favorite music. The last concert you went to? Where you plan to travel to in the next year. Ask some questions, too: "What's on your bucket list?" or "Thai food or Italian?"

Writing tip #2: All about me

Tell about yourself. Do you love karaoke? Have a funny anecdote? What book are you currently reading? Try to stay positive about what you're looking for, negativity is never attractive.

But they can be a major turnoff for a lot of people. So go over your profile with a fine-tooth comb for their, they're and there, and your, you're and ur.
