When you join an online dating site, you need to be aware that your writing skills will play the most important part of how you communicate. Almost all of the early interaction online takes place in the form of written word. You will “write” things out when you send an email or chat online.

Writing about ourselves is often the hardest thing for each of us to do. It’s difficult for most people to sell themselves. People are generally too modest and it’s difficult for them to highlight their personality traits. It’s much easier to talk about others than about ourselves.
