Which dating tips apply to writing a
good online dating reply?
Be courteous at all times while online dating.
A good start is to ask an open ended question
which allows a broad response and encourages a dialogue. If you
are asking a personal type of question offer some similar personal
information first. Keep it light and brief, at least at the
beginning of your internet dating relationship, avoiding politics or
religion. Remain honest all the time and try to make the other person
feel relaxed and comfortable.
It is best to avoid jokes as they can be
misunderstood in internet dating e-mails. There are well known acronyms used for online
dating on the internet, called emoticons, some of
them are quite funny, so get to know them and use them instead of
a joke, if being funny is part of your personality you cannot
hide.
Some of us may be seasoned in
online dating, but
others may just be beginners. So make allowances
for other people's mistakes.
Whether there was a genuine mistake or not, or
even if it might have seemed to you that the other member was
deliberately rude towards you, on no account send an offensive or
a rude response. Should you send a rude message, and if the other
member complained about it , most online dating agencies would
remove your messaging privileges.
Be aware of the fact that your online dating
messages are not very private at all. It is very easy for your prospect to attach or forward your online
dating e-mail to a friend to get a
second opinion or simply to gossip. So be careful what private
personal information, or anything in particular about yourself you are
prepared to reveal.
