Meeting women online is a great way to practice a few techniques that will get you far in the long run. Online dating has the advantage of putting you in control of the situation, and avoiding the awkwardness of real-life rejection. But how do you get her to notice you? Your online profile is the key to success.

How you write your profile has everything to do with the sort of responses you will get. If you aren't getting any responses, you'll know you did it wrong. While writing a profile that gets response is an art form, it is also a lot simpler than you would imagine. There are just a few guidelines you need to follow.

First off, there are a few deal-breakers you need to avoid at all costs when writing a profile. Whatever you do, do not announce what a nice guy you are. This is one of the most common mistakes newcomers to online dating sites make. Avoid writing a resume-style description of your life, your job, or yourself. And please, please, whatever you do, resist the urge to post that picture of you doing a keg-stand with the guys, no matter how funny you think it is.

Okay, so if these are all no-no's, what can you do to ensure success? Good question. Start off by making yourself sound confident and fun, not needy and desperate. In other words, hook them with humor.

In the words of David Deangelo - being cocky-funny is the fastest route to being noticed, both online and off. This rule especially applies to your profile! This might mean playing a little hard to get, implying that a woman will have to work to get your attention, or just indicating that any woman who catches your eye is one lucky lady.

Rule number two: don't ramble on and on. Leave them wanting more, not less. Make them guess a little bit, instead of laying it all out there. Women love a little mystery, and if you make them wonder instead of telling them straight away, it will drive them crazy.

And finally, get her attention with a knockout photo. Your photo might reflect your interests, highlight your best features, or just demonstrate a talent, but it needs to fulfill a few criteria. It should be fairly accurate and well-lit. You want her to see the real you, in your best form.

When creating your profile, just adhere to the basics covered here. You can't go wrong with a dash of humor, some mystery, and a stand-out photo. There is much more to online dating, but if you follow this advice you will get your foot in the door every time.
