what are some tips for writing an email someone may respond to.

Somehow I think that is up there along with the meaning of life Nobody really knows that one.

Good luck with that one
If you find out please let me know

I write how are you doing and ask a little about them

hey obscureLight!!!

Hi Joyce

I ask how they are and it doesn't work oh well.

Just my .02 but I think that a first e-mail should be a short hello. How would you address this person at a party or if you just met them? A very simple, hey, how are you, just thought I would say hi totally takes away both pressure and expectation. First, if they answer, you've started a conversation. If they don't, you've not invested much but you have shown a genuine interest.

I would avoid (really, this should be common sense) professing a mad love for someone based on a profile. I would avoid all mention of renting a U-Haul, or have a Map Quest mileage chart figured out. Generally that type of thing might make someone question your relationship with reality.

I just keep it very simple and I don't worry about those who don't respond. That is totally their call and I respect their decision.

i usually answer all the emails unless they say something about sex or in that direction

Hi Joyce
Remember me?

damned if I know...

LOL, I've given up on expecting more thana quick response back. I suppose if someone is interested, they' respond..otherwise...I move on.

I write to a lot of people with no response..even if I'm not interested in them romantically. But it's ridiculous that we should have to preface ever email with "I'm not attracted to you but I wanted to say....."

Then again...I'm just a b*itch...so..lol

Very well said Drew

Drew, I agree. But very few of the emails I've sent were replied to.
Yet I always reply to one I recieve.
I guess some people are different

I think ladynluv2be's got it right.

I know personally I find it frustrating when someone writes:

"Hi. Let's get to know each other better."

...and that's it.

Ask about something you'd like to know about the person...I think that helps.

write to those you know are already
interested in interacting with you..



works EVERY time

I think keep it simple, low stress, hey how are you type of thing. If they respond great, if not, just keep plugging along.
