Contacting a Woman Online

These suggestions have come from numerous emails and talks with women about what they will, and what they won't respond to.

1) Say Something! The following e-mail was filed under 'G' record time; 'Hi, my name is Sparky.
I like your attitude. Tell me more.' Go beyond standard bar pick-up lines and make her want
to respond.

2) Speak Directly to Her. Some men write a single e-mail, and send it out to all women. 'Form letter recipients are usually unimpressed by lack of effort, and you probably won't hear back from them. Speak directly to what she said in her ad. Note and compliment what you thought was interesting, funny or entertaining. Tell her if you feel you meet all her 'qualifications' and why.

3) Give More Information. Add to the personal information that is already in your ad.

4) Essential Information. Include your personal ad mailbox number so she can check out your description, mug and voice. She'll respond that much sooner!

5) Patience and Persistence. Women lead busy lives and they receive lots of e-mails! She may be out of town, her internet is down, her computer crashed, or snowed under by kids or paperwork for a week after you write. Wait awhile, then write back, mention your first e-mail, and include the fact that you are really interested in her.

6) About Being Polite... .Another winner...'Hi, my name is Joe. Write back if you're not a liar or a thief'. Our recipient preferred to be considered a liar AND a thief than respond to this negative approach.

7) Real Gentlemen Always... A closing statement which conveys best wishes for happiness whether she chooses to respond to your e-mail or not, speaks volumes about the sender. It may be the one nice thing she has heard all day, and enough to generate a response for you!
Always show class.

There are many kind, caring, loving and beautiful women out there, and one of them is waiting for you! Best of luck and good wishes on your search.
