Aaron20b Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Now in my last topic, you guys said I used a wrong opening line for most of these girls, so now, Im here to ask you what would be a good opening line to a complete stranger on myspace? Yeah I know you guys are against me using online to pick up chicks but I won't give up on it, during the day I can talk to girls in person and at night when im home with nothing better to do I can go on myspace and practice so... Anyway, I'd like some advice on what to say in the first email to a girl. anyway, thanks a bunch
Day_Walker Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 If you are going to use social networking sites then I like to say keep things simple, and realize that she is going to place the most emphasis on if she thinks you are cute or not. I start off with hello and then i keep it short and sweet and throw in something about how i found something interesting relating to the information she listed on her profile, if i happen to think of a joke that relates to something that i saw then i will include that as well. Its just a friendly approach, nothing flashy but it gets the job done.
JeckyllNHyde Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 I know this isn't the answer you where looking for but it's related: Why don't you join dating sites like link removed??? There loads of youngsters looking to date on there.. As other pointed out, your not gonna receive too many responses on myspace since people on myspace aren't there for the purpose of dating really.
SinfullySweet Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 I only talk to friends and sometimes friend's friends on myspace. When guys I don't know message me that I'm beautiful or something I usually send a polite thank you, but don't go past that. If you're looking to date you should try dating sites. link removed is a fun/free dating/friendship/quiz site with a really fun match system. It's really a cute site just for the quizzes.
tylercdurden2004 Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 at night when im home with nothing better to do I can go on myspace and practice so... Why not find something better to do? If you spend you whole time "trying" you will reek of desparation. My suggestion would be to get involved in something. Something you love doing , or something you would like to try. Once you get into the proper head space, for yourself, you find that people will react differently to you because you are acting differently towards them, unbeknownst to you.
Honesty Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 ''What's white and can't climb a tree? A refridgerator''. Hahahahahahahahaaaa. If a man said that to me he'd get a response.
Brightest Dark Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 I agree with Jeckyl. MySpace is not so much a 'dating site' as a 'friend site' so you would have more luck if you joined a site like plentyoffish where the girls there are pretty much on there to get a date. Although there are girls on myspace who are single and looking for someone you are less likely to find them in amongst everyone else because pretty much everyone is on there these days and people are mostly on there either to keep in touch with friends, or to just get as many 'fans' as possible. You would have more luck on a site that is known as a dating site than a friend site.
Brightest Dark Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 ''What's white and can't climb a tree? A refridgerator''. Hahahahahahahahaaaa. If a man said that to me he'd get a response. I wouldn't reply to that. I don't want a guy to just send me a joke. I would rather he said something nice and honest. Something that showed he'd read my profile. He should write about something that we have in common. I am more likely to respond if he asks about a subject I am interested in - like a hobby I do or something specific I have written about in my profile.
Honesty Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 I'm the complete opposite of BrightestDark. There's a lot of people that message me saying, ''Hey, How are you?'' Or..''Hey, You like football huh?'' It's all about standing out in the crowd and not being afraid to tell me a ridiculously stupid joke. But everybody's different.
JadedStar Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Why do you insist on using myspace? Lots of people really hate it when they are contacted and it is being used as a dating tool. It is NOT a dating site evilken. Why don't you go to a real dating site and at least know the girls are ALSO looking? It wouldn't matter how a guy opened the line with me if i were on myspace. It is not a dating tool and i would feel the guy was creepy for contacting me, a complete stranger, in an effort to hook up. Probably why you get called "creepy" a lot ken. It is creepy to try to use myspace for a dating tool. Leave those girls alone. Find a site that is for dating.

JadedStar Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Well if you insist on using it don't keep being so surprised when 80% of the girls you randomly message think you might be strange. It is what it is. There is no way on earth i'd take it seriously if some utterly random stranger messaged me on myspace. When i was not looking and he just pops in trying to be friendly without knowing me? I'd think he was pretty desperate. Just trying to keep it real here. There are a few women who would be ok with this. The numbers are probably not that high. To be honest i think women who also have low self esteem would be the most flattered by this and start chatting. Same thing i told my son when he would message girls on myspace. I told him if that at the age of 19 the only thing going on for them is some stranger they have never met sending them a random message on myspace then maybe that is a redflag all in itself. He met a girl on myspace and it was a nightmare. She was the clingy monster from he11. He never tried it again and took my advice.
Tethys Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 I can't stand it when I get random messages from strange men on Myspace. I have now set my profile to private so that doesn't happen anymore. I don't understand the reluctance to use a dating site either -- at least you won't be annoying or creeping anyone out just by contacting them as it will be expected. But oh well.
reasonablegirl Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 evilken, I'd be interested in knowing what you define as 'girlfriend' when you say you met your last 2 exes on myspace? How long were these relatonships and did you ever meet them offline? Myspace is a friend site, not a dating site. If you aren't going to take people's advice about a better place to date online, then don't keep complaining about how girls on myspace find you freaky all the time. You have been thoroughly warned that your myspace exploits are not going to be highly successful. I delete ALL friend requests on myspace from people that I have never met so it wouldn't matter to me what you said in your email.
ghost69 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 you are still using myspace? wth man? haven't you listened to anything yet? get off the computer.
