Setting the wrong impression is not something you will want to do when dating online, so following the Metro's top tips on what not to do on your profile is a good idea.

The news source began by suggesting excessive use of the phrase 'LOL' is not recommended, while lying about your height is another mistake.

Similarly, there is no point in adding a photo of you when you were younger, thinner or more attractive, as you will soon be found out upon meeting up with someone.

Other errors include being so tight that you will not even buy your date a drink when you meet up, while online rants can also be a turn-off.

Many people choose to add photos of them in the middle of daredevil activities such as skydiving, which is a poor idea as very little of you can be seen in these shots.

Finally, you should not get your hopes up when it comes to online dating. Just like any form of dating, there is no guarantee Mr or Miss Right is just around the corner.ADNFCR-2867-ID-801658861-ADNFCR
