How to Create Attention-Grabbing Online Dating User Names
Second your picture, your online dating profile name, also known as the handle among other terms, is of vital importance. In this post we shall look at how to create online user names that grab attention of potential partners.
Why is your online dating user user name so important?
Well, your profile user name is important for the simple fact that it is the next thing people naturally look at after your photo. It also helps to create a unique first impression and speaks volumes about the person behind the profile. Get it wrong here and your online dating efforts will be all uphill.
Here then are a few tips on creating a good online dating user name:
1. Create it before signing up: Trying to create a username while signing up with a dating site will put you under pressure and you might find yourself settling for something not so good just to move on. Most dating sites allow you to change this later, but it’s best to get it right in case your chosen site doesn’t. Also, changing your screen name could throw some potential mates off.
2. Describe yourself: One way to come up with a good online dating profile name is write down several one-word descriptions of yourself. Some words to think of include smart, fun, sweet, caring, nurturing, geeky, restless etc. The reason you want to do this is so as to attract a single who is looking for someone like you. You can choose a combination of descriptive words. Think about your most appealing qualities. Be honest though.
3. Your hobbies passions: Think about the things you love to do and integrate them into your screen name. This is an excellent way to let your potential mate know something about you.
You can also try a combination of all the three above, plus things like your job, profession and even age.
Things to Avoid
There are certain things that will not help your dating screen name or worse put people off. These include:
1. Conceit and bragging: No one likes a braggart or a conceited person. Guys, you may think you’re God’s gift to the ladies, but please don’t put this in your screen name.
2. Overly suggestive: Unless you’re creating a screen name for an adult dating site, avoid a sexually suggestive one. This is especially so for the ladies as it may create the wrong impression.
3. The bland and overused: No one wants to see another “sweetjen26” and the like. Dare to be different.

Do you think it’s a good idea to add or not add numbers in your name? I don’t want it to age me, but I have a favorite number that has nothing to do with when I was born or how old I am. Do you think it would be a bad idea to add in there?
