You’re ready to sit and write your online dating profile. Well you’re not sure you feel ready, but you know you have to do it.You take a deep breath, power up the familiar glow and stare at that blank screen.That blinking cursor mocks you, like fingers tapping on a desk, asking when you’re going to write something.First of all, just like you can imagine more than one way to murder your ever-yelling neighbors, there’s no singular way to go about writing a profile.However, I get you don’t always want to be thrown into the deep end of a pool to figure out how to swim.For this exercise, I’m going to take you through one of the ways I write profiles for clients.Copy the format of the written profile of the site you’re using to a Word document. This way you have the prompts ready and you can write them without feeling pressured to finish and publish it.“Write drunk; edit sober.” ~“Write drunk; edit sober. Wait. Read it again.” ~ Gina Stewart1. Write drunk. Oh, no? Well at least I have my sense of humor.Anyway, while I won’t expressly advocate drinking whilst working on your profile (but it can help), I will say the spirit of this quote is one I embrace.When I first sit to write profiles or articles, I destroy that digital piece of paper by making it my digital dumping grounds.Start with a general umbrella idea and just start typing everything out: what you know you want to say, what you think you want to say and everything else that comes to mind.Pour out all the thoughts in your head. Half-baked facts, ideas, thoughts all get slewed on there.If you can’t think of exactly how you want to express something, just write how you sort of want to say it. Order and structure have no place.Place no judgment on anything you type. Even if it sounds silly as it starts to roll off your finger tips, just let it keep rolling. Slop it out there like you’re a rambling drunk.Remember, it’s always easier to delete than it is to create, so while you’re in creation mode, just let those things come out as much as possible.Never edit yourself as you write. Don’t feel like you have to have it planned out before you write. Just start writing. “Ultimately, your profile isn’t just about you. It’s about how others will react to you.”2. Edit sober.Once you’ve written a bunch of stuff and feel kind of tired and tapped out, then go away.Put your mind on something else: sometimes it’s another project, sometimes it’s going out to dinner, sometimes it’s taking a walk. Whatever.Clear the space of where your head was just at for a while. Create that “sobriety.”Then after some time has passed, go back and start moving what you’ve written around so it’s in a more coherent order. And that’s where we start the “sober edit.”Put like thoughts with like thoughts and create some sense out of what is on the Lets just see what sparks our interst and enjoy each other...We could go race big wheels..if you feel like you could keep up!!!

I am a mother of 2 kids. I enjoy spending time with my family. My children and I busy ourselves with outdoor activities; backpacking, canyoneering, skiing, hiking, sports etc. I enjoy getting away on the weekends in the outdoors. I have a few close friends and enjoy spending time with small groups of people. Big social gatherings are not my thing. I value education and am intrigued with learning. Laughing and seeing the positive is a must even when things get tense.

I beleive life is way to short to have anyone negative in your life. I try to do things right inn my life (no im not perfect) cause karma can be harsh. I've learned not to hold grudges but to walk away. I try to treat people the way I want to be treated. To get respect you must give it. Im looking for someone to hang out and have fun with to see where things go. If it turns out to be more then thats great and if not thats ok too. I wont force a situation to be something its not. Once i commit to a relationship then im with you, not you and every other man. I expect the same, loyalty. I also will not deal with drama, control issues, trust issues, and someone who is self absorbed. Communication is a must. Im a good person with a big heart ,down to earth and will do what I can for someone.,but as soon as i get disrespected im done. To meet for lunch or dinner to see if there is an attraction or any chemistry and go from there.
