Taking the leap into "tech dating"

So, I've not posted for a while, as I've spent most of my spare time drawing, running, playing football, working... Not blogging is not the only thing I haven't been doing. I've also not been on a date since June, and as I'm currently living at my parents in the middle of bum fuck no where until January I've decided to have a go at this internet dating. Me and my mate thought it would be a good idea and maybe mildly interesting to keep you,(if anyone does read this) entertained through out my journey. So far creating a profile has taken about a week, not because it is difficult, but how the hell are you supposed to 'sell' yourself?? I hate having my photo taken, and surely you want to get to know someone by going on dates, not instantly knowing their like and dislikes, eye colour etc... I've had a few messages so far... Nothing really to brag about, don't think one of them actually spoke english, and the others aren't quite my type. Shame there isn't a box for: "Girl, who looks like boy, seeking girl who looks like girl that likes girl who looks like boy." Wish me luck :)
