How Do I Write the Perfect Profile for Dating Online?

I am a really shy person who only really opens up once I get to know you and this is my main reason for considering dating online. Now my big question is how do I write the perfect profile without scaring my potential wife away by stating I am shy? What do I need to put in my dating online profile so I can attract the right type of person, and not lie to make myself seem more interesting than I really am? I am a sweet and romantic guy, once you get past my shyness. I just don’t know how to convey that. Is there a formula I can use to get the most out of my dating online search that will draw the right kind of people to my profile, without making it sound like I wrote a sales pitch or that I am desperate? It is really hard for me to find the right words.
