In online dating, the most important skill one should have a good command of, is writing messages. The first message is not simply an introduction; it is the basis of your relationship with the person you are writing to. Here are some guidelines for those who want to learn how to write killer messages to their online dates.

  • The first message is your chance to attract the addressee's attention. You should also display interest to the person. Make a message of several sentences, expressing personal and lively interest in one of the details of the person's profile and mentioning some things about your personality. Add some cute humor, but avoid rude or dirty hints.
  • Try to sound unconventional, make your message impressive. You need to catch the person's interest, so make your letter unlike many others this person can receive via the dating web site. Ask an intriguing question, point out a feature you have in common, write an appropriate joke... Get in contact with the person, sending him or her only positive mood!
  • If you are the one to respond to a message, don't be too fast with the answer. If you respond the same evening you get the letter, you can seem to be desperate or even maniac. The first several messages are just a way to test the water, so keep them interesting for both you and the person you would like to contact with.
  • In order not to present yourself as a pervert or a dull guy, avoid too recondite and too personal topics. It means Playboy quotes are as much out of place as allusions to the theory of relativity. Very important: check your spelling! It can take too much effort to improve the bad impression with the first message.
  • If you did your best, composing your online message, but received no reply, do not despair, there are so many other interesting people you can chat and date online with!
