Sending a first message to someone on a dating site is no easy task. What should I write? How do I write it? What’s important? These are all good questions.<\/p>\n

First messages are as important as your profile picture<\/a> when it comes to meeting someone new. If the reader hasn’t seen your profile picture yet, then it’s arguably\u00a0more<\/em> important. So let’s lead with the right foot.<\/p>\n

Below are 3 easy tips to guide you to a successful first message.<\/p>\n

1. Make it short and sweet.<\/strong> Stick to a simple first message and don’t get derailed. Try to stick to 4-5 sentences, and vary the sentence style. Let the reader know you like their profile and that you hope to hear back from them.<\/p>\n

2. Keep it light.\u00a0<\/strong>This is your first message<\/a>; not your fifth date where you start talking about family dynamics and long term goals. Be cheery, happy, and if you can pull it off – humorous.<\/p>\n

3. Say ‘thank you.’\u00a0<\/strong>Thank the reader for reading your message. It’s a small kindness that pays off in spades.<\/p>\n

Follow these 3 tips and you’ll be in great shape. And don’t forget to pick a perfect profile picture! These two things are of paramount importance!<\/p>\n

Happy messaging!<\/p>\n
