Nobody likes a negative nancy so you should avoid these at all costs. \u00a0If people think you are like that then they won&#8217;t be drawn to you and won&#8217;t want to spend time with you.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s much better to focus on positive things and talk about the lovely things you have to offer. \u00a0It&#8217;s not just about what you are looking for, but what the other person wants too. It&#8217;s a two way street and you have to remember that. \u00a0Otherwise it can come across as demanding or downright rude. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure you don&#8217;t want anyone to think that of you!<\/p>\n<p>Try and write things like this instead:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m excited to see what might happen on this site&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d love you to contact me if you like what you&#8217;ve read&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you are also looking for a serious relationship then it would be great to hear from you&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Helping others and Keeping Fit are two of the things that make me happy&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve written anything negative in your profile then I strongly suggest you take this out and write something more lighthearted and friendly instead. \u00a0You&#8217;ll have a much better success rate and many more replies to your messages.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Dating!<\/p>\n<p>James Preece<\/p>\n<p>Dating Coach for Asian Single Solution.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a Dating Coach, it concerns me every time I see someone writing a negative online dating profile. &nbsp; It&#8217;s a terrible thing to do but still surprisingly common, despite our best efforts to teach people they shouldn&#8217;t be doing it!
