How
to Write a good Personal Ad
How to write an appealing
Christian personal ad at 101
Take the following description of oneself:
" I enjoy meals out, walks in the country side and
the cinema. I attend church regularly".
Here's a more attrrative alternative:
"I very much enjoy going out for dinner in my local
town - mad on chinese food!! One of my favourite things
to do is go for long walks in the countryside - be lovely
to share that with someone. Another passion of mine is
cinema. I love romance but if you're not in to that I
can do comedy too:)
What kind of films do you like?
As far as church goes I attend whenever I can - I hate
to miss it and love the fellowship we share in my congregation.
We often arrange get-togethers and days out which are
fun.
I have several other interests that I will share - drop
me a line and I'll tell you more. What really excites
you about life?"
Top tip: be 'up' in your answers and ask a few questions.
It opens up conversation and makes it easier for someone
to make a response to your profile.
People who have interests are more interesting!
Top tip: If you have interests and passions don't
be shy - tell other members what you get up to!
Obviously don't go on too much about one thing - keep
it varied - variety is the spice of life!!
When you write - do it as if you are talking to thta person
- with a smile. You want people to know that you are a
responsible well adjusted individual that they would like
to meet. Too serious too soon is probably not the best
idea. Get to that stuff a bit later:)
Humour is a great thing.
A joke or funny short anecdote is a good thing
to ad to a personal ad.
Make sure you are always honest about yourself. The truth
always pops up in the end so whilst you certainly don't
have to tell everyone everything - It's nice to be as
straight as possible.
People like honest open people.Don't be arrogant in your
personal ad - nobody likes it. People are generally attracted
to simple confidence that anyone can have.
What about kids?
If you have kids you might mention them as something your
passionate about. If you come across someone on the site
who has kids or was once married - remember not to be
too judgemental - give people a chance:)
Don't ramble on negative experiences but be honest but
positive at the same time. Everyone has problems and NO-ONE
has it all wrapped up!
Don't be critical or others. By the same token express
your oppinions - be controversial but not heavy - great
discussion is fun. Be polite, kind and assertive!
The best way to get mail is to send mail - everyone is
waiting for mail so be bold and take the initiative. Gets
the ball rolling.
Be sure to read other people profiles BEFORE you write.
It shows you are treating that person as an individual.
A personalized email will provoke a more personalized
response. It shows you care.

Our General Top tip!:)
Don't try to attract people with things that YOU think they
want. Invariably you will get it wrong and look insecure
at best. Take your time and let the other person show their
colours, likes and dislikes. Whilst many people in life
ARE attracted to worldly things (hopefully not too many
on here!:), we as Christians should not be looking for such
people for partners. Also, it simply isn't true that most
people are looking for this or that. Everyone has had different
experiences and reaches different levels of maturity through
those experiences. Not all guys are interested in blondes
and not all women are interested in money. The fact is -
most people are interested in someone who is relaxed, confident
and honest. The reason for this is that these are really
great attractive qualities that are quite hard to find these
days. Be yourself:)
