Before you can move on to write your dating profile, you'll first need to know exactly what it is you are looking for, or what you hope to attract into your life by posting a profile on an online dating site.
This step may seem redundant in that it's obvious you are looking to date someone new by putting up a profile on a dating site. But as there are different types of relationships, you'll want to define what it is you're after before sitting down to write your online dating profile, so as to avoid the overused, "Just checking things out" line.
As well, different online dating sites have different relationship categories with which to choose from. A select few, like Lavalife have different sections to choose from where you can post your profile (Lavalife offers Dating, Relationships and Intimate Encounters sections), whereas others are only geared to long-term relationships, such as eHarmony. Knowing what kind of relationship or interaction you are looking for before you carefully craft your online dating profile will save you time by ensuring you only post your profile at the most eligible and suitable dating site(s).
