What is a
Dating CV?
Your Dating CV is Findin's alternative to a photo-first profile. It is a structured personal story that tells the other person who you are, what matters to you, and what you are looking for — before a single photo is revealed.
What goes into a Dating CV
Bio
A written-by-you, first-person story. This is mandatory on Findin — there are no blank profiles. Your bio should answer: who are you, what do you value, what are you like to be with? Aim for genuine, not polished.
Professional background
What you do and where you work. Not to show off — but because your work shapes your schedule, your mindset and your lifestyle. It helps the other person understand your day-to-day world.
Interests and personality chips
Short tags for your interests, hobbies and personality traits. These create easy conversation starters and filter for genuine compatibility.
Relationship goals
What you are looking for — a long-term relationship, marriage, something serious but open. Being specific here attracts people who want the same thing.
Past relationships (optional)
Some users choose to share what they have learned from previous relationships. This is optional but often the most revealing section — it shows emotional maturity and self-awareness.
The key difference from a regular dating bio: A Dating CV has structure. It is not just a text box — it has named sections that give the reader a complete picture. When someone attaches it to a connection request, the recipient gets your whole story, not just a one-liner.
How to write a Dating CV that works
Write in first person
Use 'I', not 'Looking for someone who'. Talk about yourself, not about what you want. The reader will form their own opinion.
Be specific, not vague
'I am passionate about travel' tells people nothing. 'I took a solo trip to Ladakh last year and ended up staying an extra week because I couldn't leave' tells them everything.
Skip the performance
A Dating CV is not a highlight reel. It is a real picture. The goal is not to impress — it is to give someone enough to know whether they want to know more.
Answer the unstated question
The person reading your CV is asking: 'Is this someone I would enjoy talking to for 72 hours?' Write something that answers that question honestly.
Keep it honest on relationship goals
If you want something serious, say so. If you are figuring it out, say that too. Vague goals attract vague connections.
Update it over time
Your Dating CV is not set in stone. As you grow and change, update it. An outdated CV leads to mismatched conversations.

FAQ
What is a Dating CV?
A Dating CV is a structured profile section on Findin that acts like a professional résumé — but for who you are as a person. It covers your background, what you do, what you have been through in relationships, and what you are genuinely looking for in a partner. It is viewable as a PDF-style card.
What goes into a Dating CV?
Your Dating CV includes: a user-written bio (mandatory), your profession and work background, your personality and interests (shown as chips), your relationship goals (what you are looking for), and optionally details about past relationships and what you have learned from them.
Is a Dating CV the same as a dating bio?
A dating bio is a short text blurb. A Dating CV is more structured — it has sections, like a résumé. It gives someone reading it a much fuller picture of who you are. The bio is one part of the Dating CV.
Can I see someone else's Dating CV before connecting?
Yes. When someone sends you a connection request, their full Dating CV comes attached. You can read their whole story before deciding whether to accept. And when you send a request, the other person sees yours.
What makes a good Dating CV?
Honesty. The best Dating CVs are written in first person, tell a real story, and answer the unspoken question: 'Why should I want to get to know you?' They are not highlight reels. They show personality, not performance.
