Something that shows you're romantic or have a sense of humor would work if these are the qualities you possess and want to project.

A common mistake is trying too hard to sound sexy and instead just sounding like the kind of person who frequents sex chat rooms.

So, don't shy away from showcasing your true personality through the name.

I’ve swiped, I’ve messaged, I’ve boldly gone where no right-thinking relationship-seeker has gone before (to see a vampire movie on a first date), all in the name of finding love, or at least a cool guy to hang out with.

Puns and hyper-masculine references were mostly no-gos.

They were, to me, the pseudonym equivalent of a cheesy pickup line.

When it comes to your profile name you should choose something that is: However coming up with a great of even a good screen name requires thought to serve as your online identity is not that easy. You could use your first name with some numbers after it.

While most of us think that using a couple of numbers with our name is the easiest way to create a username, it does not offer much safety.

This is why it is best to come up with a username that gives no indication whatsoever of your real identity.

To this end I’ve been more successful, or perhaps luckier, than my friends.

On my fourth or fifth date arranged through OKCupid I met my current boyfriend, who happens to be the most communicative, fun, and kind person I’ve met, online or off.
