What to write on match profile
How to write a good Match.com profile- EMPOWER NETWORK
I'm going to talk about online dating it
was the summer 2011 and I felt like I
had hit a wall in my online dating world
so I decided to shake shake things up
I'd read an inspirational article from
acclaimed dating coach David Wiegand and
he talked about showing a man who you
were through your profile I had nothing
to lose so I tried it here is my match
com profile from the fall of two
thousand eleven and that the whole foods
downtown and it's time to go to the bulk
food aisle and look left look right then
casually lift a scooper with a few
raspberry covered pretzels not into a
bag but into my hand and carry on my
shopping experience that's when I see
you standing there in the produce
section staring at me I'm just out of
yoga so yes I look a little grungy an
awkward carrying my scooter helmet
wearing my hoodie yoga pants and uggs so
clearly this isn't this she's so pretty
I can't take my eyes off her stator this
is that I just busted you doing a
drive-by eating of the bulk aisle stare
hmm what you do now I'm nervous I'm
feeling guilty and I have no idea where
to go from here as I'm plotting either
my escape towards the coffee section or
my admission of guilt to the innocent
checkout guy you come towards me crap of
course you have to be handsome have
engaging eyes and the perfect amount of
scruffy looking incredibly approachable
in your hoodie and flops what am i doing
thinking about this you're about to out
me not hit on me you casually walk right
past me and brush my shoulder giving you
a refreshing smell of who knows what
kind of Awesome sending chills down my
spine then I feel it a hand on my lower
back and a whisper in my ear you've got
crumbs on your lip babe if you ate the
chocolate-covered raisins coffee beans
or cashews that wouldn't happen you're
welcome and with that you graze the
remaining small of my lower back with
your hand and walk towards the front so
there I am left frozen in the bulk aisle
of Whole Foods my heart racing my head
spinning and slowly licking my bottom
lip to eliminate the tell-tale sign of
my mischief it mischievous behavior and
simultaneous grin and what it just
happened
I continued the rest of my shopping
still replaying the turn of events in my
head and kicking myself that I didn't
turn around grab you by the hoodie and
pull you back towards me for something
anything even just to tell you to even
just to find out your name I'm taking an
impossibly long time to finish by
shopping walking down each aisle with
the nervous jitters jitters that pretzel
buster guy will round the corner and
other cuff me or take me to the front or
scoop me up in his arms after what
seemed to be about five hours but really
probably only 30 minutes I go to the
checkout line and give the poor Whole
Foods guy a two minute she feel about
for pretzels and give him an extra
dollar and tell him to do what he
pleases there no bad karma I feel
relinquished in my guilt and free to
carry on with my life I proceed outside
to the scooter parking area out front
and load my two small brown bags into
the milk crate on the back of my scooter
as I'm about to turn on the engine I see
a piece of paper tucked into my drink
holder wrapped around a bag of raspberry
yogurt pretzels I immediately grin ear
to ear I pull it out and it reads hey
rookie thief i'm making a calculated
guess that this pink scooter belongs
with the pink flamed helmet you were
carrying if so let's hang out I can tell
you're active so let's go out and enjoy
the sun and eat these pretzels together
and not to worry they're paid for as
much as I would love the above scenario
to unfold an afro mention pretzel Buster
guy to be funny sarcastic childless
intelligent beyond his obvious display
of connect the dots with my scooter and
helmet emotionally available authentic
selfless and has a stable character I'd
also like to win the lottery my odds are
about the same therefore perhaps I'll
meet said man online who knows but i bet
my chances are better than at Whole
Foods never forget the pleasure of the
journey and never underestimate
coincidences especially at Whole Foods
so you know what happened after that day
at Whole Foods I ended up needing an
amazing guy and I didn't date him though
he just turned out to be very very good
friend and then what turned what
happened
with coincidences a year later is that I
was in Costa Rica and booked an
appointment with a shaman who happened
to be the love of my life and he
proposed two months later and we have
introduced our wedding planner to the
man who I met from match com from
changing up my profile so thank you
David Wygant for your advice to tell a
story of the kind of person you're
looking for in your profile don't just
list what you're about because it helped
me empower myself to put myself in the
right place at the right time in Costa
Rica and it helped me meet my friend who
I later enjoy introduced to our wedding
planner so there are two stories of
happily ever after love and light
