On a dating website whenever I search for profiles the same profiles appear time and time again. How can I arrange it so that every time I search only profiles I have not seen before will appear.

Try clearing your browser cache.

Tools > Clear Recent History... - hit Details and make sure only Cache is selected, then select Everything and hit the Clear Now button.
