It would appear that winter is a prime time for starting up an online dating profile. It's too cold to really go out, and maybe the weather presents a problem for typical social activities. As a result, I often see profiles that say something along the lines of, “I haven't been doing much lately because it's cold, but I can't wait until summer! I like to rock climb, wakeboard, and play Ultimate Frisbee.”
Well, guess what? We're finally getting into summer. Thus, there are two major points to double-check. First, is your profile up-to-date? Are you still complaining about the cold, when it was 90 degrees last week? While you're at it, check the sections for most recently read books and movies, and update those as well. Movies are especially telling, since they come out on a set schedule. Unless you've listed only that you're waiting for the next Harry Potter or Twilight movie, chances are it's out-of-date.
Next, it's necessary to go over those summer activities and interests and decide whether they're actually accurate. Maybe you went wakeboarding once, several years ago, and it sounded pretty good during that snowstorm last December. If you're not actually planning on wakeboarding this summer, replace it with an activity you can actually talk about. Trust me, you do not want to get into an awkward moment when you're asked a question you can't answer! Even if you weren't being deliberately dishonest, you could give that impression.
Finally, remember to actually get out and enjoy those summer activities! Come next November, you'll be regretting it if you don't. And who knows? Maybe while you're out on a summer adventure you'll meet someone worth pursuing. And there's no need to prove you can actually wakeboard if you meet right on the beach!
