     To optimise the search for love, some singles are turning to public-facing documents resembling personal ads – or a kind of dating CV – known as "date me" docs. Typically, these are published on personal websites or via a Google doc link. Luzia, 26, from London, created a six-page doc that includes everything from what she wants in a partner to "cute date ideas". "I've gone on two dates from the doc so far, and am going on two more this week – so it does actually work," she says.]

     Think of the date-me doc as a résumé for your love life. You share a Google doc, or—if you're more fancy—maybe a creatively inspired PDF, with a potential match, describing what you're looking for, who you are, and anything else you think is important when it comes to finding the right person for you. The idea is that this date-me doc is longer and more detailed than what you'd normally write for a dating profile.

     No one can be their true, honest, and authentic self in a dating app bio. There's no space there to share our dreams, fears, goals, quirks, and hopes or delve into the backstories about why we have them. Date-me-docs can contain all your multitudes and then some. You can also list all the things you want in a significant other as part of the doc or as a secondary doc. If you're going to go the route of trying to find your soulmate or twin flame via a date-me-doc, you might as well lay it all out there.
