Make It Sell

Again, you are basically marketing yourself.  If you say 'fun girl' you will probably attract a lot of guys simply looking for a good time.  So you have to think about what kind of people you want to get responses from.

Another thing to think about is when choosing an alias you need it to stand out amongst all the others.  You can do this by referring to something unknown or esoteric and only those who know what you are talking about will be in on the reference.  For example you could mention a writer or actor you enjoy and attach that to your alias like Rowlinglady (referring to JK Rowling the author of Harry Potter) or merylstreepwoman, this can also hint at what you look like if you look similar to the actress Meryl Streep for instance.  Having a hidden reference can also give you and the person you're contacting something to chat about when first exchange messages.  Acting like a spark for the initial connection.

Another option you have when creating an alias is to have it say something about what your like or what the dating experience might be like with you:  funlovingdude, or shygirl, goodkindofbad, hittheclubs, studiousbutfun.  Also, you could give an idea of what kind of relationship you want, seriouslovelady, lifelove, kindhearted, justbrokeup, huggable, or justfun.  Try to get creative and the bottom line in the online dating world is to have fun, express yourself, and be safe by listening to your own internal instincts, trust them.

On The Front Page:  Create A Headline

Most matchmaking sites will want you to write a headline for your ad.  Potential dates will only see this at some sites, so it is important, just as when creating an alias, to have it get people's attention and say something about yourself or give clues to what you're like.  The more it intrigues people the more clicks you will get and visits to your profile.  You can take a similar approach to your headline as with your alias, incorporating a little about yourself or going the clever, funny route - below are a few quick examples:

"Real women love Jesus"

"Seeking Godly man"

"I'm Worth It"

"Seriously Studious But Full of Fun"

"Sunsets and Walks On The Beach"

"Ask and You Shall Receive"

As I said before, you can definitely come up with some better one's.
