You need to do interesting things away from your online dating to attract your soul mate. Your dating interests and hobbies are another weapon in attracting someone's curiosity in you. They want to feel you and your passions so give them something that will spark something in their mind.

If you can get this part of your profile right it can get you e-mails on it's own. Don't do what 90% of other singles do, and just list their hobbies. Or some probably don't even bother with that section. Tell them why you do them and what your hobby does for you. This will give them a better insight into the real you, and what makes you tick.

When your filling our your profile you will get a list on most online dating services where you can tick your hobbies. This is so their search software can match singles up a lot easier when you're filling in the search criteria. This software matches like minded singles up very easily. If enjoy playing the same sports or both like going to the movies it gives them something to instantly match you both up with.

When you get to the part of your profile that you can put in what you want this is where you can make a difference. By this time most singles just want to skip this part, and start searching the profiles. But this is where the dating savvy make their profile stronger, and stand out amongst the crowd. This is where you will add your personality to your profile, and show the singles you're trying to attract that you have a life away from online dating.

This is where you can put the things into your profile that you haven't been asked already. The interests and hobbies that haven't been listed. But don't just list them put something with them that adds interest, and shows the single reading it a part of you.

If you do something that's adrenaline fueled tell them. You might do paragliding. Here's an example of what you can put in your profile...

Once I tried paragliding I knew I would be enjoying it forever. Gliding over the hills with the breeze rushing paste your face gives you a complete sense of freedom. If you ever want to experience that sense of freedom send me an e-mail.

Your description puts a picture in their mind, and they will ask themselves, would I like to do that? It creates something more than just writing paragliding in with a list of other hobbies. If the thought of trying arouses their senses they will contact you.

You can do this with more than just one thing in your profile. Your dating interests and hobbies will have a much better effect on singles than the usual boring stuff people put in their profile. Remember you're trying to attract someone so you have to make them attracted to you through your profile.

When I got started as a custom rug maker, I admit I was in it for the money and a much
needed career change. Since then I've had decorative rugs featured in Designer
Showcase Homes, Corporate Headquarters of numerous Fortune 500 Companies, and
even a Generals office in the Pentagon. It's been a great ride. But what if you don't care
about all that, maybe you don't want a career change? What if you're just looking for a
creatively rewarding hobby that'll blow the socks off your friends or family? Here's a quick
guide to decorative rug making in 5 easy steps.

Step One - Learn the Basics: What's the best approach to learning how to make a rug?

Do some research, identify the different techniques used for rug making. You'll find basic
teaching guides for latch-hook rug making kits that that will tickle Granny Smith's fancy.
If the antiquated Latch Hook rug-making techniques make you *yawn*, then keep your
eyes open for more comprehensive custom rug fabrication programs that are designed
for more serious hobbyists and entrepreneurs. Hint: Google 'rug making'.

Step Two - Invest in Your Education: Identify an investment level that you're
comfortable with.

Some hobbies require a larger investment than others. If you want a
very low budget entry point, then Latch Hook rug-making with grandma is definitely the
way to go - expect a measly investment of 50-100 dollars. On the other hand, a more
specialized custom rug training program will cost 1,000 - 10,000 dollars, tools and
equipment included.

Step Three - Create Your Studio: Create a space for your new studio / workroom.

A garage-like workshop with a 4 x 8 table is fine for a hobbyist. The table top should line up with your hips, not too high or too low. I like to add some splashes of color in my work-
space. I make cool and colorful samples and hang them on the walls. It's fun to let those
creative juices flow. Make your studio a fun place to come too and practice your hobby.

Step Four - Have fun with your rug designs: Fill up your home with your new creations.

Give them away to your friends and family. Identify themes to play with; what are your
interests? There are countless attractive themes like - animal print rugs, abstract designs,
company logos or heck, even a Star Wars Yoda Rug! Replicating a design into a rug is
easy once you learn the tricks.

Step Five - Brace Yourself: Prepare for the WOW! comments coming from friends and family when they see what you're doing.

The questions will come: 'Where did you get this rug? You made this? Wow what talent you have... You're so talented... this is amazing, I had no idea you could make a rug like this...". I am not making this stuff up, it will happen.

Decorative rug making is one of those fun and creative hobbies that has the potential to
uplift your spirits because it's so rewarding. You're actually producing something from
start to finish. It does take some practice, but the steps are manageable and relatively
easy to learn. Give it about 30 days of practice and you'll be well on your way to a
enjoying a fun hobby.
