Do’s and Don’ts of Personal Ad’s


Filed Under Advice, Online Dating

Do:
Speak to the visitors of your ad instead of just listing your information.

Invite them to participate in your ad. Interactive ads are more appealing to the reader. If they find themselves saying “yes” to your ad, then they will more than likely say “yes” to you.

Always check your spelling and grammar. Use your word program to compose your ad. Then just cut and paste it to your text box. You only get one chance at a first impression.
Paint them a visual with words … what you do for a living, schooling, children, pets, what would romance with you be like and your physical attributes. Be completely honest. No one likes surprises in any of these areas!

First paragraph should be creative and is where you catch their attention. Once you get their attention they will keep reading on.

Recreate your ad completely, if you are not getting the responses you want. - Try a different approach. Try posting different pictures. Note: Posting a photo that is not true to form is the same as lying! By using deception with a photo is the same as setting yourself up for disappointment.

Keep the ad positive, creative and fun. Put your best foot forward!
Don’t:
Don’t copy someone else’s ad. If you like someone else’s ad, use it as a guideline to create your own in a more creative way.

Refrain from adding specifics of the ideal mate you want, such as: slim, tall, blue eyes, etc. Hint: Ever know any woman who believed they were really slim???

Leave out the negatives. Anything negative is all they remember. Or worse you will attract what you say you don’t want since most skim ads. Also this ad is for what you wish to create now, not your past mistakes so leave them off your future.

Do not write about past relationships and hurts. The past already happened and you will never get beyond it if you are still living it. Open yourself to new relationships and new experiences.
