AN ART OF ELECTRONIC MESSAGING.
Some common sense dating tips on your first e-mail.
One of the most important dating tips for starting any online dating conversation is to find some common ground, some common interest.
At the beginning of online dating you have nothing else to go on but the prospect's online dating essay.
Well re-read the prospect's online dating essay, is there anything you have in common? If not, is there some clue, something funny or of interest you can ask about or expand on. Or perhaps some well known place, like a lake or a river?
Find something from the essay you could compliment on. If that is not possible try to make some connection to the essay by asking to clarify a point or two you did not understand.
Another sensible dating tip for online dating is never to forget to talk about your prospect and don't talk too much about yourself.
Ask an open ended question that needs to be answered in more words, not just 'yes' or 'no' giving the other person an opportunity to have something to talk about.
Try to make your online dating message interesting, writing as best as you can.
End up by putting your real first name at the end of every online dating e-mail. Do not use anything like 'Sincerely' or 'Yours truly' or ' love'. Only your first name.
It always makes sense to run your e-mail through a spell checker even if you are good at spelling.
