"Hi, I'm Donna Barnes. I'm a life and relationship coach and the owner of NY Dating Coach in New York City. In this clip we'll talk about how to create an online dating profile. And your profile is very important because it's your first impression and you only get one chance to make a first impression, so really try not to make it too long. Like if people click on it and go, ooh, I don't have time to read that. But try to be honest. You know, it's like, if you, when you upload pictures, look like your pictures, because the number one complaint I get from my clients is that you know the person showed up and they didn't look like their picture. You know, right off the bat, why disappoint them. In fact, I almost recommend, look a little better than your picture so that they're pleasantly surprised when you show up and don't put too much information out there. Just put about the things that you like to do. Don't be specific and controlling about the things that you want from the other person. Just say, hey, this is me. This is what I'm looking for and let them decide if they're going to be a match with you. And leave something to tell them when you actually talk for the first time. You don't have to put it all out there. And be honest. This is Donna Barnes from New York City."
