Okay, you’ve filled out your profile (maybe on more than one site, hopefully). You’ve taken advantage of the free trials, you’ve uploaded your profile, your photos. You’ve done a search and there he is or there she is! And you want to contact them, but……you don’t know what to say! Here’s some ideas for you: (some I’ve received myself) Hi there, your profile put a smile on my face today. Hi there, you are the prettiest girl on this site. Hi there, if I had to choose between all of the money in the world and you, I would choose…you. Distance is not an issue, when I look at someone as Pretty (handsome) as you are. Hope to hear from you. Are you having a good day? Mine just got better when I saw your profile.

(Or make it personal to their profession) such as: Pilot – Are the skies friendly today? Businessman – Are you busy or would you like to chat? Teacher – I had a teacher as pretty as you are in the fourth grade and her name was…… You get the idea! What NOT to say! I liked your profile (boring). What is your real name? Why don’t you have a photo? I don’t answer anyone without a photo (ask them to post one instead). This comes across snobbish and rude.

I saw you read my email, don’t you like me? (A REAL turn-off). If they like you, they WILL respond. If not, have dignity and move on. I saw you looked at my profile so you must be interested (sometimes people get click-happy and this makes you sound needy and clingy). You are a gorgeous, beautiful baby that I would love to kiss on and drool on – UCK! Classy men and women won’t give you a second chance. Be a little more SUBTLE in your approach. I see you like action, what do you have in mind for tonight? (Classy guys/girls) don’t want to be picked-up on or offline.

Well, hope that helps! That’s all I can think of off the top of my head, but will add more later as I A. Receive them in my own dating inbox : ); or B. Think up some more to share that I’ve read for the past two years. C. YOU share some with us – please in the comment section! Won’t that be fun???? Here’s to Friday & Saturday night dating fun! P.S. Match has a 7 Day Trial and with 15 million singles on Match, I think you can find at least one you might like to go out with, whatcha think?
