Gineen: It sounds like you've turned a corner. BRAVO!
I am more than happy to take a look and give you some pointers.
I really hear you on the grammar - that's a real sticking point with me too.
Rick makes a good point about having a guy's input with the writing of the profile. But not about the provocative photos. "Slightly suggestive" might be a better way to go.
I never looked at anyone else's profile. I just jotted down some points - then wrote a story from there. I did run it by a guy friend that I had a crush on.
And of course the biggies here are to only go with your first name and cel phone number. I had a separate email address just for online dating and I always got to know them a bit on the phone and chatting before actually meeting. Just to be sure I was comfortable. Never give our your address or bring them home until you've checked them out and gone out a couple of times. I made sure they weren't following me home and I always made sure my friends knew where I was meeting them.
