You often hear dating advice like "be yourself" or "wear what you want to wear," but sometimes it isn't enough. While these dating tips are great, they can make you seem self-involved or single-focused. Here's the number one dating tip of dating coach Jakovljevic: show, don't tell. Someone telling you that they're funny is not as effective as sharing an amusing story about themselves. If your best quality is your sense of humor, then share a joke on your profile rather than just saying that you have a good sense of humor! Doing this will also help attract people who are seeking out the type of person you are. For example, if someone searching for partners on online dating sites is looking for someone fun, they would be more likely to respond to you if you demonstrate your humor rather than telling them straight out.

Article background information [to use as knowledge, not to be copied verbatim]: The number one mistake guys make is writing about their traits rather than demonstrating their traits, Jakovljevic says. There's a difference between saying "I'm a really funny guy," and sharing a hilarious story on your profile. "If someone tells you they're really cool, one thing you can be sure if is, they aren't," he advises. Think about what you want to communicate, and show that instead of flat out saying it. It's also helpful to ask yourself, "What kind of introduction would I want to keep on reading?"***On dating sites and apps, everyone has a few common pet peeves: 1. People who use the same dating profile photo they took five years ago for their main picture. 2. People who list "I'm an outdoorsy guy" as one of their interests despite having only ever gone camping once, three summers ago with his college buddies because it was raining and they couldn't go to the beach like they had planned. 3. Guys who write about how much they love children even though you can tell from just talking to them that the only thing that will make them happier than dating you is dating someone you hate and making babies with her while you pick out floral arrangements for the wedding and spend all their money on diapers and baby food. 4. Guys who tell you they're looking to meet new people, but won't respond beyond saying "Hey" no matter how much you talk about your favorite Star Wars character or that time you fell into a construction pit being built for the trolley line downtown. These are all dating site clichés because one guy wrote them all at once and now they've become data points in an algorithm—the dating equivalent of this article's title: show, don't tell. So try not to do what Jakovljevic has seen guys doing most frequently when writing their dating profiles—saying something rather than showing it. We're talking specifically about copywriters here, but the same principle applies across all forms of online dating. What is "showing it" instead of "telling it?" Here are some examples: Over-sharing personal information like dating history or current STI status is not let's talk about how I was raised in the rainforest by pygmy elephants and how their trunks were my pillow when I needed comfort; that belongs on your dating profile, not on yours—about yourself for your dating profile. One way to avoid over-sharing is to consider what you would want someone else to tell you if they were writing your dating profile instead of you. For example, saying "I'm looking for my Jacob early November" sounds fine until you realize that he missed Thanksgiving because he got lost in Ohio after his GPS told him to take a right where there was only a left. "I'm looking for my Jacob early November" is just what you would want to hear if you were dating Jacob—not something you'd want to know about the person dating. So don't say it. Or, rather than "I like long walks on the beach and deep conversations that lead to kissing," try this instead: tell readers about an unforgettable conversation you had with someone one night at sunset as the tide rolled in. But avoid listing specific turn-ons or turnoffs as those things can be dealbreakers depending on who you're dating, so keep those things off your dating profile. And remember: no bragging! The number one mistake guys make is writing about their traits
