Try a fiery paragraph to capture imagination of online daters

There is no point in being worried or cautious when it comes to putting together an online dating profile.

Instead, people should always be willing to take a risk in a bid to stand out from the crowd – as this might just land them a date.

The Boston Herald's OMG feature was asked by reader Sassy to help her come up with a profile that will work – and it advised putting together a "fiery paragraph".

It explained fellow online daters will not be willing to read through a whole life story in order to find something of mild interest.

As a result, it is the responsibility of individuals to grab the attention of those who are reading the profile by sounding vibrant, interesting and exciting.

One piece of good news is that there is a raft of generic profiles online, so coming up with something a little bit different should not be an impossible task.
