                        Worry not. 
                         
                        Here are all the tips you need to write your own personal 
                        ad and how to reply to one. 
                        Writing an Ad 
                        What are you looking for? 
                          Write a list of all the things you are looking for in 
                          a man/woman. For example, tall/short, sporty, pretty/handsome, 
                          rich, old/young. Now cut the list up. For example, looking 
                          for tall, handsome rich guy in his mid 20's. Personal's 
                          usually only allow so many words so it is important 
                          that you put the most important things that you are 
                          looking for in a Woman/Man instead of trivia bits such 
                          as, must have blonde hair, blue eyes etc.. 
                        Who are you? 
                          Now do the same again but write a list that you think 
                          best describes you. (Honesty is the best policy.) 
                          How old are you? Are you thin, petite, big build? Are 
                          you tall/short etc.. Now narrow the list down to a small 
                          description of yourself.  
                        Your interests 
                          What do you like to do? Have you got an amazing hobby? 
                          People that read personal ads are looking for a potential 
                          partner so they will want to know if you have anything 
                          in common with them. Again write a short list of the 
                          things that you are interested in. Don't just write 
                          that you like quiet nights in and out, so does everyone. 
                          Make it clear exactly what you like such as, ice skating, 
                          art (maybe write the name of your favorite artist.) 
                          Concentrate on what you like, that way you will attract 
                          a woman/man that is interested in the same things as 
                          you. 
                        Make your ad stand out 
                          Most personal ads look and sound the same. Why not make 
                          your ad stand out from others. Write your ad in the 
                          form of a poem. Add some humor. Use song lyrics. There 
                          are many ways in which you can make your ad stand out 
                          you just have to ad a bit of imagination. 
                        Honesty is the best policy 
                          The most important thing when describing yourself is 
                          honesty. You are who you are and you will only 
                          attract a woman/man who wants the person you have described. 
                          Which means you could lose out if you are not honest 
                          from the start.
