Ins and Outs of First Contact - Part 3

Always Remember To:

Choose a creative user name. This will ensure that men searching through profiles will pause, be intrigued, and want to know more. You must be different stand out from the hundreds of profiles.

Coin a flirty headline. It should pack a punch and yet be short and sweet. You will never capture a man’s attention if you just select one from the many samples posted online. Try not being aggressive or bossy or simpering –witty works.

Men are visual creatures and are mostly attracted by appearance. Be sure to post a flattering photo.

Respond to e-mails with care. Avoid writing a novel—men have short attention spans. So, answer questions, be witty, ask a few questions—make it short and sweet not a saga.

Write responses to everyone. That way you will meet many more possible suitors. Your response percentage should be at least 80%.

Navigate successfully by:

Staying happy, confident, and positive while e-mailing or IM ing men. Don’t overwhelm the other person by coming on too strong—keep it light and friendly. Be sure to pace yourself.

Use the photos posted to make an opinion of a man—there is a saying that a picture can speak a thousand words. Read up on how to look at pictures and read character.

Never rush things along—control the pace of the online relationship, never hurry and make plans to meet before you know ‘enough’ about a person.

Before meeting take another step of caution, speak on the phone at least 2-3 times. Women can make suggestions too! Don’t speak from a personal phone or mobile use the safe services provided by dating services.

Listen to your heart—if you get negative thoughts or bad vibes then end the contact.

When you are ready to meet in person do so in a public place—make it a four some it is safer.
