Writing a profile people reply to

What to say about yourself, what to leave out, and how to sound like a person rather than an advert.
A blank notebook and a pen on a sunny café table.

A flirt starts from a few true lines, not a biography. Say where you are, and one ordinary thing about your week. "I am in Manchester, I like a late coffee, and I am here for an easy conversation" is a profile. A list of adjectives is not.

You do not have to say you are looking for a relationship, and you do not have to rule one out. If you want this kept light, say that. A little flirt is the shape of the site. If it has been a long time, you can say that too. If you have not flirted in years is the page for starting without a performance.

Write a bio can draft a paragraph from the details already on the form. Read it. Take out anything you would not say out loud. It will not invent a town or a hobby you did not give it.

One recent photo of your face is enough. Photos that get a reply is what to crop. Leave the phone number and the surname off. The first message can do the rest. Sending a first message works better when the profile has already given them one concrete thing.
