Dating Strategy: Picking a Great Dating Nickname!

Finding the perfect name is like finding your perfect date: It's worth the effort!

 

While choosing a dating nickname we have a great chance to demonstrate some aspect of ourselves that makes us particularly attractive dates — and too often, we loose this chance. To add some personality to your dating profile, consider these tips for choosing a more attractive username:

1. Don't go by the numbers
With millions of singles dating online, combinations of your real first name and your birthday or zip code won't set you apart.

2. Play on your personality
Got a passion? Play it up! Or work some unique characteristic of yours into your name. True, you won't be the only dating person to reference skiing, music, classic films, foreign travel or motorcycles in your username — but your name will spark a sense of instant dating identification for anyone who is keyword searching for members with common interests.

3. Don't oversell yourself
This is especially true when you're talking about your physical attractiveness. A dating username (or dating profile) that is overloaded with talk about how phenomenally gorgeous or sexy you are is less apt to attract interest than it is to come across as a display of egotism or deceit. The idea here is to find people to date, not to be so intimidating that no one will ever want to ask you out.

4. Do remember the dating rules
Here at LoveTotal we do not accept any personal information in either dating username or dating profile. These rules are meant for your protection, so don't mess with them. Besides, experienced online daters know the advantages of maintaining anonymity until it's appropriate to reveal your identity.

5. Don't give up
If the name you really want is taken, be creative. It's easy to change "DatingGoddess" to "GoddessOfDating." Finding the perfect name is like finding your perfect date: It's worth the effort!
