Your dating profile headline, similar to your dating photos and your profile photo, are the first things that a potential match sees as he or she browses thousands of other profiles in search of a match. If you want Mr. or Ms. Right to find you, then you should make your dating profile headline as catchy and as intriguing as possible.

It is a good idea to ask yourself what would make you click on someone else’s profile, and incorporate that into the headline you are making. If you do it this way, your chances of attracting someone whom you’ll have plenty of similarities with are a whole lot better.

Another great tip for writing your headline would be to use a question for your dating profile headline, since your headline will make those who are browsing, stop, think, and take a look. Getting the attention of searchers will triple your chances of your profile getting viewed and possibly messages getting exchanged. It is also a good idea to make a catchy headline about something you enjoy doing, so that someone who enjoys doing the same thing as you do will definitely notice your profile.

Also, make it a point to capitalize only the first letter of the first word in your headline, and of course proper nouns, if any. Don’t write a headline in all caps - it does get attention but the negative kind, definitely not the one you’d like to attract!

Always go for positives when writing your dating profile to make it catch. Dating headlines like “Lonely guy looking for love at the wrong places” partnered with a dating profile photo with a big smile on it doesn’t send the right signals. Using negative words won’t increase your chances of finding a match either. Keeping and conveying a positive attitude will help you in finding more matches who are also positive and enthusiastic about how things will turn out.
