Single women, there is no need for you to wait around at the bar for Mr. Right to approach you. Waiting for your prince charming to come along and whisk you away leaves your love life unpredictable and up to fate. You can take charge of your future and make things happen by joining an online dating site or placing an ad among the internet personals. Dating sites greatly increase your dating pool and chances of finding single men you are interested in and compatible with.
1. Read His Profile
Review his profile and decide which information about him catches your attention the most. Is it his brilliant sense of humor? Or his passion for volunteering? Maybe you both enjoy the same obscure music. Whatever it is, be sure to mention it in your message, opening with a line like, ¿I see that you are also a fan of Random Rhymes. Glad to know I¿m not the their only fan! What¿s your favorite song from them?¿ will surely get their attention and get you a reply. Who knows? Discussing your favorite music could lead to a date at a live performance.
2. Give Him a Compliment
Everyone loves a great compliment, men too. Find something that you think is impressive in his profile information, and then tell him how cool it is. He will appreciate that you took time read his page and notice his great qualities. Try not to be too superficial with your compliments. You will appear very shallow and he will think you are only interested in his looks, particularly if his profile lists some great accomplishments. Save the physical compliments for when you meet in person.
3. Pique His Curiosity
Men love a little mystery, so why not give him some. An almost infallible way to receive a response is to pique his curiosity. If you both are interested in a certain topic, then suggest something he may not know about and offer to share the information. (But don¿t reveal it in your first message!) If he is a sushi aficionado, then he will not be able to keep himself from replying to your message that tells him you know the city¿s best sushi restaurant.
4. Be Original
Now for the most important tip of all, tailor your message to him. Cut and paste messages are easy to spot and even easier to delete. If you are not willing to put in the effort to write even a brief original message for him, then you cannot expect him to write you an original message in return. Be yourself, be honest, be open, your message will come across just fine.
5. Length
It can be tempting to tell him all the things you loved about his page and why you loved them. You may want to share why you think you two would be a great match. Avoid doing both of these things. A message that is too long is likely to be passed over. A message that is too short will not be taken seriously. The ideal first message is one paragraph long or about eight well-constructed sentences.
6. Spell Check
Finally, avoid writing in text speak and run a spelling check before you pres the send button. Text speak, poor grammar, and messages in all caps are the quickest way to get your message sent straight to that great single guy¿s junk folder.
