How to email a possible date

Email

Email

While The Frisky’s article on the subject of emailing a date has some good information, I think that things should be expanded on.

When emailing a date the important thing to remember is that this is not an immediate action. You cannot know if the email will be read right away or it will sit and wait in the inbox to see the light of day.

Keep your email to the point, after all, an email should never be a substitute for a face-to-face conversation.

Be curious about the person, it’s ok to ask a question or two, as long as they aren’t overly personal.

Talk about yourself a bit, as if someone were watching you, what would they think of you and what you did today?
Just don’t drag on talking about yourself… again, keep your one-sided conversation interesting but short.

And then click send and wait for a reply….
