From the author: Everyone wants love and happiness, but not everyone knows what steps to take towards it. Creating a profile on a dating site is the first simple step to happiness, accessible to everyone. It is important to make it beautiful. I want to let new people into my life, to meet someone. This desire matures, is nurtured, and develops into determination. And now you type the query “dating site” into the search engine and follow some link that appears. And... it turns out that you are invited to tell about yourself. Moreover, put this story into the standard form of the site - its profile. You didn’t expect to spend your time on this right now, and the questions seem incorrect or stupid. You answer anyhow, post a few favorite photos, exhale... And...And what actually happens next? What to expect? How to find this person of yours. And will the newly created questionnaire help you with this? Open it and look at it through the eyes of the person you want to meet. Does what you shared about yourself here suit him? Will this be able to interest him and answer the question: “yes, this is the person I’ve been looking for for a long time”? But this is exactly what your profile should do. Therefore, she deserves to be given special attention. Your profile on a dating site can be compared to a carefully designed display window in a store. Here is the image, the style, and the words corresponding to this image. The words in the questionnaire are actually real selling text. It either works for you or against you. Therefore, it is very important to think through to the smallest detail everything that you write about yourself, your partner, your interests, etc. And yet, a well-designed profile plays the role of a guard, not allowing people who are obviously not suitable for you to communicate. When you meet in person, you make a first impression spontaneously, as it happens. When creating a questionnaire, you can think through everything down to the smallest detail and create the desired effect. But in both the first and second cases, you can only make a first impression once. Therefore, you should take the creation of a questionnaire seriously. So, your questionnaire is, first of all, your tool. And you need to learn how to use this tool for its intended purpose. What is the purpose of the questionnaire: To attract attention To create the right impression Weed out the unnecessary To arouse interest To stimulate the visitor’s activity in communication. There are only five points and as many as five points that should work for you. The functionality of each of them is ensured with the help of words and photographs. The main thing is to understand what you are doing. Even if the questionnaire is filled out intuitively, it is very important to analyze it afterwards and understand how effectively it will work for you. As part of my training “Academy of Foreign Affairs”, we devote more than 3 hours to creating a questionnaire in all details and subtleties so that you can consciously experiment with profiles on different sites, using different strategies. Good luck to you. Let your person finally meet you! With love, psychologist Natalya Pekarzh
