6. I don't know what to write in my profile can you help?


Create a good headline for your profile. Making sure it is fun, positive and generates conversation. Challenging your potential date is a good way such as; "I'm looking for a man who can wine and dine me." You can also generate interest in you and stimulate conversation by mentioning a few of your favourite things in your profile.


You can get more dating advice by clicking here.


All profile content must be legal, decent, honest and truthful.

7. Can I apply formatting to my profile?


You can apply basic formatting to the text in your profile by logging in to your "My Home" page then click the "My Profile" link then in the relevant section of your profile click on the "Edit" button to view and edit the profile page and then within the "About me" field, insert limited HTML formatting directly into your advert text. It is displayed within square brackets either side of the word or characters you've chosen. The formatting codes are as follows: B for "Bold"; U for "Underline"; Circle Symbol for "Hyperlink"; " for "Quote" and the Smiley Symbol for a "Smileys". For example, if you wanted to make the word "new" bold, select it, then click on the "B" button and it'll appear like this: [b] new [/b]. It will not actually be displayed as bold at this stage but it will be in the profile itself (you will be able to see it after you press the Save button).


Furthermore, when it comes to formatting, less is definitely more! The more you do, the worse your profile will look. Too much could cause the codes of various formatting options to overlap - in which case, it will look terrible and we will either strip it all out or just reject the profile.
