Profiles
Excerpts from some of our recent profiles.
A dating profile should be serious, with a light touch.
It’s hard to write about yourself.
You need to convey what’s special about you without drifting into the blancmange, the banal, the negative and the everyday. The sweet spot — avoiding the plain vanilla and the pretentious — is where you need to land.

Therese, 60

Like mothers everywhere, I could talk for too long about my two grown sons. Their attitudes, values and manners are a source of quiet delight, but how many get scones fresh …
