Employ a classic format. Putting a spin on a classic format catches the reader by surprise and makes your ad, which appears quite normal, above the norm. Start by listing things you enjoy, but make them zany and offbeat. Instead of long walks on the beach or champagne toasts, express your affection for trips to the circus and snacking on string cheese, as long as you do actually enjoy these things.

Have fun with your hobbies section. Instead of listing the usual things, like reading or sports, be more descriptive. Say that one of your favorite things is watching the Yankees win the World Series instead of saying you enjoy watching baseball.

Incorporate blunt statements. Catch your readers' attention with unexpected pronouncements about yourself. For example: "After 1,101 failed attempts at love, I am looking to make 1,102 a success." Such statements will surprise, and perhaps even get a giggle, out of your ad readers.

Include uncommon wants. When listing what you seek in a mate, deviate from the expected. Instead of asking for someone who is kind and loving, state that you are seeking someone who is willing to share the Sunday crossword or would willingly take a daily trek to Starbucks with you.
