useful to think about what should never be written.<\/p>\n<p>Handbag.com has revealed its top five phrases to avoid and it started by picking out &quot;I hate talking about myself&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>The point of online dating is to find a partner so the only way to do this is let people know exactly what is on offer.<\/p>\n<p>Online daters should also avoid claiming to be shy and promising to treat a lover like a king, as the latter can sound a little desperate.<\/p>\n<p>Users should not write common phrases that mean little, such as saying they love quiet nights in and eating out, as almost everybody follows this pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals who are looking for a relationship should not be afraid to say so, as declaring themselves happy with &quot;cheeky fun&quot; will draw in a very different audience.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801562828-ADNFCR\"
