Home | News & Society | Dating This is a list of the seven things you should avoid or be sure to do in your e-mails. Get the conversation going. Make it happen, take the initiative. Passivity never pays in life so if you're interested, so send an e-mail that says "Tell me about the boldest thing you've done. I am interested in knowing you. I'll tell you mine when I get your response." Ask a lot of questions. It's a huge turnoff to date someone that only talks about him or herself. Wait for him to ask you specific questions before you go into the "soabout me" speech. He saw your profile. He knows about you. He'll be psyched if you show you're interested by asking him why David Sedaris is his favorite author or how long he lived in Japan. He should be guessing about you, but not for too long. He may start looking for his next match if you wait too long to return an e-mail. You will lose your intrigue if you don't write him back within a few days telling him about the boldest thing you've done especially since he told you his. If he asks you out or for your number, quickly respond. Avoid the e-mail love affair. Many people give good e-mail. It's exciting to log into your e-mail account and find three new e-mails from this new, interesting guy. But what happens when you fall for the e-mail version of him, but meet the real him and have zero attraction? I suggest meeting him after the first five or so e-mails. You'll be bummed to lose an e-mail lover you've grown attached to. Don't copy and paste. As tempting as it is to use the same "about me" e-mail with three potential online matches, it's easy to make mistakes this way. A friend of mine did this and sent the same e-mail to a guy twice AND she forgot to change the name at the top. Don't write too much. Some men complain that women talk too much and I know from experience that some guys are freaked out by a "chatty Patty." I've seen studies proving that men do, in fact, talk more than women, but I would wait to write a long e-mail until he does, just in case. Keep your e-mails to two short paragraphs until he writes a long e-mail. Once he does, then you'll know he has patience for some chat. Even if you're not interested, send a follow-up e-mail. Its personal preference, but I think it's nice to get a follow-up e-mail after a first date. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
