"So, you have not made that romantic connection. Seems like the right guy will never reply to your single's ad...
Have you considered that you may not be saying & showing the the right stuff in your profile"
Ladies! Mistakes to avoid
when creating your personal ad profile.

Ladies! Mistakes to avoid when creating your
personal ad profile. (Men you could take a few notes as well...:)
As a man, I have some suggestions for the women who have online profiles:
I know it has been said to death, but again: post a photo of yourself!
Let's face it: at some point we (and you) all want to know what the person
we are corresponding with looks like. If you think someone will step away
from you because of your looks, then do yourself a favor by sorting out
those shallow people in advance by posting your photo!
It doesn't need to be your best photo, just a friendly face will do the
trick. Avoid poses and be natural: the one I have in my profile was shot
by a friend who was waiting until I was relaxed and had forgotten about
the camera.
Are you afraid to show your face, as I was? Then try a 3/4 to full body
picture: your face won't be as exposed and you'll offer potential
candidates a bit of your style. Also, keep in mind that when most people
see a photo of someone in a swimsuit the "Baywatch factor" gets high; so
try to steer away from those pictures, unless you have a gorgeous body
and/or prefer to attract men who are mainly interested in 'casual
relationships' e.g.: casual sex.
Also, you should be alone in the picture (I don't want to date your friend
or your family) and don't, DON'T post a photo of yourself with a baby or a
child. Why? Because the first time men see you, they want to know about
YOU, not your family! (That can come later). If you do have children, tell
us in the written part of your profile. Even if someone doesn't have a
problem with dating a single mother, the child in the photo is a warning
sign: "I don't want to take risks, I'm protecting myself, you'll have to
like me AND my child..." Call it a silly men's thought, but that's the way
it works.
Last but not least: Avoid negative phrases in your profile. We all want to
meet people we can enjoy spending time with, and negative sentences play
against you. Instead, try to substitute them by using positive sentences
with the same meaning. For example. "I don't want players. (negative) = I
want someone serious. (positive)". One of the worst lines I've seen was
from a woman who wrote "I'm tired of dating the bad ones!" What does that
tell you about someone? Think about it.
