Last week&#8217;s installment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lfgdating.com\/gamer-dating-blog\/online-dating-etiquette-part-4-of-5-what-to-write-in-your-first-message\">part 4<\/a>, taught you how to write your first message. Now we&#8217;ll wrap up the series by offering tips on how to carry your conversations forward.<\/p>\n<p>But before we go there, I think I need to relate one vital, all-encompassing tenet\u00a0of online dating &#8211;\u00a0it&#8217;s much, much easier to do something wrong than to do something right. Seem a little unfair? Maybe it is.\u00a0This much is true, however: people tend to pass over members&#8217; profiles for one thing wrong than they stay for one thing right. Like we said earlier, probably unfair.<\/p>\n<p>Say you are looking for someone who games for a couple hours per day. After your matches filter onto the screen, you notice someone who took a fuzzy profile picture. Boom &#8211; you&#8217;re no longer looking at it (or his or her profile, for what that&#8217;s worth). Now back up a minute. What if this person checks off 9 of your 10 boxes but you never learn because the photo is terrible? Would I blame you for passing it over? To answer the first question, that is the importance of selecting a great profile picture. The answer the to second question? No, no I wouldn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the heart of this entire series: we never want you to be passed up because of one little glitch in the system, one online dating etiquette faux pas. Online dating isn&#8217;t easy. It&#8217;s a hard terrain to navigate. People who aren&#8217;t familiar with the process (and it is a process) may think you simply join, throw up a picture, and start messaging. There&#8217;s much more to it than that. What you write and upload matters. How you build your profile matters. Why? Because\u00a0<em>you<\/em> matter. Your profile should matter too.<\/p>\n<p>Now onto how to carry the conversation. To start,\u00a0<em>I know you know how to carry a conversation<\/em>. I&#8217;m not walking down that road one step. What this post is about is to offer insights and some\u00a0<strong>Do<\/strong>&#8216;s and\u00a0<strong>Don&#8217;t<\/strong>&#8216;s regarding carrying your conversations. Like I said above, it&#8217;s much easier to do something wrong than to do something right, and I want to make sure that you have some advice at your disposal.<\/p>\n<p>Sending a message (or replying to one from another member!) is the first step. This may sound\u00a0condescending, but I&#8217;m saying this because I want you to be proactive here. Waiting for someone to message you is a passive approach that typically does not lead to success. It&#8217;s\u00a0statistics: members who subscribe have a greater chance at meeting someone than members who wait to be contacted.<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;ve either sent the first message or you&#8217;re replying. What to say? Remember, it&#8217;s harder to do something right than to do something wrong.\u00a0Read the do&#8217;s and don&#8217;t&#8217;s below to help you write your messages. Here&#8217;s the key takeaway upfront: less is more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do<\/strong> thank them for sending the message. This is the first thing you should do. It&#8217;s also a phenomenal ice breaker.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s great to hear from you!&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0<em>&#8220;Thank you for getting back to me!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>give one word answers and then hit the send button. Why even reply? You won&#8217;t be advancing the conversation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do\u00a0<\/strong>ask questions and get to learn about the other person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t<\/strong> drop ten questions and expect the other member to respond. This is too much too quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do<\/strong> comment about content from his or her message to you. What the other person writes matters, so use it to vault yourself into the next message.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t<\/strong> be pushy. If he or she wants to keep the tone casual and light, mirror the tone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do<\/strong> be ok if the next message takes a few days (or a week!) to be returned. Sometimes a message won&#8217;t be returned, but some people only check their profile once a week because they have a busy period at work or that is simply how the want to do it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t<\/strong> get upset if the returned message takes some time to get to you. Like above, some people don&#8217;t respond right away. Don&#8217;t hold it against them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do\u00a0<\/strong>wish them a great rest of their day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lfgdating.com\/start.php\">Continue your messaging<\/a> with these guidelines above, and you will be in excellent shape. Everybody is different. Cliche aside, some people respond quickly and others after a little while. Some people like to dig deep early; some people like to stay casual for long time. Either way is totally normal. Good luck messaging!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s do a quick review to begin.
