Sending initial email on a single site

[Tr0ubledGuy]

When you respond to someones profile on a single site with an email, what should your email contain? I am having trouble coming up with what I should write in it

you could try writing 'hi' and just commenting a few things you found interesting in their profile..

 

However i would say if you can't think of anything you're probably thinking too hard - which is bad....

I would look at it like you are applying for a job and you want to present your self in a way that you will appear confident and aware. Don't say anything bad about yourself and tell them why you are interested in them.

I would just let them know your interested or find their profile interesting. Maybe even briefly explain what you find interesting specifially. Add a little about yourself. Do you have a picture on there? That's a sure way of getting someone to respond also.

I usually expand a bit on my profile, get more into what I do for a living, how I spend free time. Keep it fairly light, and ask a couple light questions about them/their profile and leave it open for them to respond, mention that you liked the way they expressed themselves, their smile, etc..just a little positive comment.

 

Keep it reasonably short, but give enough for them to want to know more. I know personally, women often get flooded with emails, if someone writes me a novel, it is very hard to find time to write and respond to every darn question! So, be casual! Good luck!

kinda want to emphasize on the point of telling the person what you like about their profile and why would like to get to know them. you dont have to go into any detail about yourself, lhave your profile cover the basics of this and eave it pretty wide open for future messages. you want to see if theyre interested in you too.

 

remember theres nothing worse then a message looking like a form letter, when you personalize each one they are alot more interesting to whoever gets them.
