Dating on the Net: First Message to Your Prospective Match

Among various activities which everyone has to do in the course of online dating, writing the first message to prospective match is one of the greatest importance. Some useful tips on such writing are given below.

Your Choice First of all, you have to be choosy in your selection of potential dates. Remember that you are dealing with enormous pool of people, which renews on a daily basis. Online dating is a failure-proof business, because even if you will not reach candidate A, you will certainly hear from candidate B (or C). Just keep seeking. Moreover, even if you achieve seemingly great progress with one candidate, do not get stuck on it: keep looking. By the time of developing real relationship you better have your own choice, just in case if something will not work out well.

Some challenge In our first message we want to get all attention from the candidate of our choice and, quite often the effect is opposite! How to make our first message attractive and not boastful (nor boring), so we will hear back?

First of all, never dwell on some unanswered message. The network is too big for getting fixed on one person. Instead try to improve your writing skills. Find your own style, which works for you. Be creative, honest and optimistic. Your message will have better effect if it will be written as a conversation. Avoid anything which sounds square and trivial.

Key elements Your letter must be written individually for every candidate. People can easily tell generic letters, because they contain everything about the author, and not a word about other person, not a reflection on other persons profile. Therefore, in your first letter, you must mention something from the profile of your addressee. If you are writing to this person, then there better be a reason: what in this individuals profile turned you on? Ask questions and tell a bit about yourself. The purpose of your first letter is to start a dialogue based on common interests.

What to avoidIt is OK to flirt and tease another person in the first letter, but this must be done lightly and kindly. Do not write about sex, dont use sexual terms, dont say that you are a perfect match to this person, a soul mate, etc. You have never met him or her before, so just relax and be nice, the tone of your first message can be almost as if you are introduced to your new colleague at work.

Final word If your letter is not good enough, you may never hear from him or her back. Try again and always remember, that you probably not the only one who liked this person and your letter may be just one out of many. You have to make it outstanding from this crowd. Give this person a reason to reply. Ask questions, offer your answers, and put some intrigue into it. This is your real chance to get close to this person. And, if you started the dialogue, dont get dragged into a virtual romance, try to move to the next level, seek live date, be pro-active!
