Tips on Writing Your Own Personal Ad: Describe yourself as accurately and specifically as possible. Be sure, especially, to include your own age and interests. Keep your tone positive and your attitude respectful and open to new connections. It is realistic to expect to hear from people who have interests similar to yours. Some may evolve into good friends and/or regular pen-pals. Others may work out to become a new travel partner or something more over time. Ask for photos if you wish. OSN discourages the use of abbreviations and racial preferences, but feel free to describe your own ethnic background or other information you consider important to you.
