Freshen Up Your Profile for the Holidays

We're waist-deep in the holidays and I'm sure like many people, you're just a teensy bit crazy right now. Maybe your shopping isn't done, or maybe your travel plans got ruined by the Snowpocalypse 2009, or maybe your mother is coming to visit and your apartment isn't going to pass her white glove test.

Take a break from the crazy to update your online dating profile!

Putting up a fresh update:

1. Lets people know that you're alive and actively looking
2. Sets you apart from the legions of people who haven't seen their profile since they posted it
3. May get you a second glance from someone who overlooked you previously

Need some ideas on what to write? Here are a few brainstorming tidbits:

• What's your favorite part about the holiday season?
• What's your favorite holiday memory from when you were a kid?
• What is your best memory of 2009?
• What are you looking forward to doing in 2010?

Any of these would make a great blurb to freshen up your online dating profile. You can even ask them in questions you write for your potential matches. Stick one either at the end of your profile or in the first contact emails you send.

For now... take a deep breath and have the happiest holidays you can!
