Default Dating Sites

Ok here goes,

I have been single now for around 7 years and have decided that I'd like to meet someone new,

I am however very shy with the ladies and I totally suck at breaking the ice.

Therefore I would like to join a dating site and see if i can meet anybody that way. The query I have got though is whats a good thing to write about myself? Is it good to mention what I do for a living or that I ride bikes or do I keep it just about my personality?

Sorry in advance, i totally suck at this, any help or love advice much appreciated

Chiiiill.

A lot of guys from my work have done this and had a great time doing so!

I don't know about writing stuff etc other than just be yourself...

One bit of advise I have always heard them say however is to use the dating sites that you pay for membership. If you use the free ones you get what you pay for.... Get me? If you use the pay sites you get genuine people.

Good luck and have fun

I haven't a clue about the dating sites, but surely the best 'advert' for yourself would be the one that truly represents you, if you enjoy riding bikes then that should be mentioned. I think that your job is a big part of who, and how, you are, as such I'd think it an integral part of the script.

Probably best to leave out your BNP membership or the subscription to Ladyboy Monthly though - these 'special' things should be kept until you know her better.

I would write about my job but a panel beater hardly comes across as attractive, or maybe that's just me

As sid says, dont hide stuff thats a big part of your life, be yourself, if a woman dont wanna know you because of it then she aint worth knowing.

Have you tried the biker singles sites? I know the potential to get a munta is higher but it might be worth a go

Best of luck dude.

Be yourself
Be Honest

Dont write any bullsh*te, girls are'nt stupid they'll see straight through it.

I think it would be fine to put about your job and you ride bikes, it'll at least be a conversation starter...
