So I saw this lady on Match. E-mailed her and said she had an interesting profile and attractive pics. Asked her to look at my profile and if there was any interest to hit me back. So she hit me back and said I had a nice profile too. So also asked how my weekend was. I replied back and said it was good. Asked her about her weekend if she the game on Friday (you know, keeping it low key and stress free. Her profile said she really liked sports).

 

So, did I screw up the reply? She read the e-mail a while ago, no response. The first e-mail was replied surprisingly in a few hours or so.

No humor ....

 

Did your email sound like you are fun to be around ?

 

Women want to go out with guys that can show them a good time and a good time isn't going to dinner with someone who is just blah with the conversation and fun..

 

Step it up a notch.. show them why they should date you thru your words.. use your humor and maybe some really kick ass stuff you did this weekend to show them if they went out you they would have a blast with you..

 

If you don't then you are considered a dud...and a dud doesn't get reply's back from their emails :)

how exaclty does one come of as being "fun to be around" in one email?

 

you're forgetting that online dating fails because everyone seems the same, except for their pics of course (which could be faked or out-dated)

 

for example AC, if you forgot everyting you know about me and i sent you one 4 sentence email how the **** are you going to differentiate me from everyone else?

I'm not forgetting anything Alpha.. I met my wife on match..

 

By the way.. he had 2 emails not one to make and impression of fun to be around...

 

I'm not really sure how to word exactly what you want.. being that I'm not privy to all the info from her profile and pictures..

A lot of times I would take something from a profile or pictures and make a pun about it in my email to them..

I would also keep the conversation upbeat and not dwell on me but ask questions about them...

 

One thing I stayed away from was telling a woman I liked her pictures.. that tells them a picture is all it took and chances are they didn't read the profile.. which isn't what women want.. they want you to read the profile..

.. they want you to read the profile..

Don't let online dating get you bent out of shape! Don't take it personally.

You have no way of knowing what is going at the other end. Maybe she's started seeing someone, maybe she's not used to getting mail and was just being polite- maybe she's a flake!

 

You couldn't have possibly screwed up by saying what you said.

 

Sometimes I'll set mail aside and wait until I have time to write back.

It's hard to say. Stop over thinking it and send out more mail to others!

One thing is for sure Alpha.. if your email of 4 sentences looks exactly like all the others in my inbox they you get forgotten..

 

You can't differ yourself by saying you liked their pictures.. they got told that by all the slim that have tried to bed them online.

That's good advice..

 

also Thick Skin helps... you never know what is going on in someones life.

They do if all you do is look at the pictures....All you see is the same type of chick that you dig or are looking for.. blond, big tits, nice figure...etc. etc...

 

My wifes profile didn't read like anyone else's.. it stuck out and the way she wrote it allowed me to write a really funny, nice first email...

dude, relatively speaking you don't need a thick skin for online dating....you need a thick skin for real world dating

You really should send that email and at the very least thank them for the release.

I'm a bit more mature than that. I check out their pictures, of course. I'm not dead. But I pleasure myself to their written profiles. So hot.

Anyways. She asked me how my weekend was, so I thought it would be only right to ask about hers. I am not going to go into crazy detail on a first reply e-mail. Not sure if this online dating think is what some people think it is.

He might get that reply he was looking for.... that would separate him from the other 100 emails that she got..

Ruggy. chill

 

Let's play the scenario game. She read your mail, and before she could click reply.....

 

1. Her mom called, and after a 30 minute conversation, she had to go cook dinner.

2. Her boss walked in.

3. Her cat vomited up a hairball under the desk.

4. She had to pee and then get the clean sheets out of the dryer.

5. Her blackberry went off to remind her about her dentist appt.

6. She called her best friend to discuss how to respond to your email, and the friend told her to wait a day so she didn't look desperate.

7. A Jehovah's Witness rang the bell, and she is FINALLY getting the guy to leave.

 

People have lives beyond the dating site. (Just not beyond LS, thank God.) If someone doesn't respond right away, just remember that maybe the other part of their life got demanding right then.
