Dating

Dating websites. It’s a way to evaluate the person that you’re talking to before you even met them. I’ve had quite a few people tell me that they saw someone that interested them on a dating website, then the first message they received from this person completely turned them off. Don’t let this happen to you. Be careful of what you write and how you sound!

Check for spelling and grammar mistakes. Trust me there’s not much else that’s worse then when a person sounds like an idiot. Spell check was invited for a reason. The other person is going to look at this message and think that the author would sound so much worse in person. Why? Well you have time to review the message before you send it and you can take all the time you need to look it over. In person you can’t. If a message is riddled with spelling and grammar errors, expect to get ignored (unless the person is as bad as you are).

Don’t talk about money. Someone who is really looking to get to know you won’t care (at least not right away) about how much you make. When you talk about all the money you make, it sounds like you have zero class and that you’re trying to overcompensate for what you’re lacking.

Leave any form of sex talk out of your message. A genuine person looking for someone to date isn’t going to want to read that. If you’re looking for a fling or are looking for someone to brag to about how you are during sex, you should probably look elsewhere.

Just send over a brief message about your family, your job, friends, etc.. Basically talk about things that you can mention that can create interest and also leave room open for them to send a message back to you with questions to keep the messages going.
