In fact isn’t this a mistake that most of us make in everyday life? You know the ‘finds it hard to say no’, doesn’t want to offend, ‘I’m happy with whatever you’re happy doing’ attitude.

Now there’s nothing wrong with being ‘nice’… unless you make yourself sound about as blah as the dukan diet.

So follow these 3 quick tips to make sure that your lovestruck profile has a ‘wow’ factor that won’t make someone hit the snooze button on your wink.

1. Men don’t love bitches but… most find a woman with an opinion exciting and a much better banter companion than a Stepford wife type. So get used to writing what you want on your profile. Tell him if you’re looking for a relationship, hate Chinese food or would rather lose your Mulberry than be caught dead in a gym.

2. Don’t sit on the fence…. I understand that you may genuinely like both a cozy night in on the sofa and a cocktail at the latest hip speakeasy. Trouble with this though, is it becomes really hard for your personality to stand out. Be specific and state exactly what you love (even if that just means stating what your favourite wine to have in/out is).

3. Don’t worry about what he’ll think of you… if you have stopped yourself from writing something about yourself in case he may ‘get the wrong impression’ of you, please stop that thought process now! The point of your profile isn’t to get a 98% approval rating; it’s to find someone who you genuinely connect with.

So go on, write that you’re a terrible flirt, that your idea of cooking is assembling antipasti, and that you’re absolutely only looking for a guy who will like you just the way you are.
