How to reply to an online dating ad
Many people are quite worried about how to reply to an online dating ad. What the proper protocol is, what should be said and what shouldn’t be said.
This will help you a lot when you are replying to an online dating profile and you want to be sure you get a reply back.
Start your reply by introducing yourself and talking about something you have in common that is in the person’s profile.
Use words like “I like” and “we have” and “sounds fun” and “seems interesting”. You want to be involved with what the person describes of their life without seeming creepy. Don’t go too far or into too much detail, you might creep the person out or come across like a stalker.
Talk a little about the things you like to do, maybe something that you have already psoted in your profile. Don’t get too personal, this isn’t a guidance counselor interview.
Your first message should be no longer than 200 words.
You’ll have time to talk more and go into geater detail once you have the person’s attention.
Do not automatically invite the person to meet you somewhere, this is a big stalker red flag.
Do not include nude pictures of yourself, unless the site is an adult swinger dating service.
End your email by inviting the person to view your profile and writing back to you.
You’ll do just fine!
