So you’ve swallowed your pride and gone and signed up for an online dating service. Surprisingly enough, you have found multiple cute girls online that you would date and marry in a heartbeat if you could. The first real contact you are going to make with these women is through an email. Some men just have a standard email they send out to every girl that they meet online, but this is a bad move. Girls see right through the cookie cutter emails as quickly as you sort through normal spam in your inbox. You need to personalize these emails in a way that will speak to her so that you can get her to respond and progress the budding relationship.
The first thing you will want to do is make sure that you take things from her profile that show that you have read it and are sincerely interested. If she said she likes pickles then make some reference to it in your email. She will appreciate these little details and it might even make her giggle. Girls like to feel like they are cared about, and even though you have never met you can show your personality in the way that you refer to her profile in your initial email.
The next thing you will want to remember when writing your email is to make sure that you don’t try too hard. Every guy wants to be witty and playful, but if you try to hard you will just look desperate. Have the confidence to make a couple little funny comments but ultimately get to the point. Let her know you think she’s attractive and would love to meet up sometime. Let her see that you are comfortable approaching new people and giving new relationships a try. Don’t express your undying love for her either or you will completely freak her out and guarantee that you won’t get a response.
