One of the problems I have with internet dating is the emails. I know I should mention something about their profile, but what else should I put in them? Also, what should I put as the title?

Appreciate any advice given, thanks.

You are correct to mention something about the profile.

I have just happened into the habit of taking the last thing just discussed - from the three short-answer questions - and make the first e-mail a short e-mail, cordial (I have found that using my wicked sense of humor isn't a good idea here) and be polite and ask one question.

One of the problems I have with internet dating is the internet dating.

And the e-mails. And the phone calls, which are worse.

Stinks, now that I think about it.

***

I don't worry too much about the message - if the person likes you they want to meet. If they don't, why waste effort on e-mails to try to salvage something that shouldn't be.

Make a message which is easy to answer, and be done with it.

I just talk exactly the same as i would if we were face to face, pretty much stream of consciousness, otherwise it just feels too formal and i hate that.

I have always used the header of " Hi its (name) from Eharmony"
And introduced myself in such a way that gently provokes a response. "I would like to introduce myself by asking if there are any questions you have about me."

Welcome to the boards eeneyah.
Congratulations you got a match to the personal email stage.
*I have to think now since it’s been 2 months since I got to this stage with a match.*
Ahh….I remember now.
In the subject line write “Hi from ( insert your name)”
In the email. I start where we left off when we were in the messaging stage. I ask him one or two questions I need to know the answers to. And keep the rest of the email light and flirty. ( I am better at flirting on the internet then irl).

If you are talking about the first e-mail once you get to Open Communication in eHarmony then I just send a short message asking about where she is from originally and / or about other family in the area. I will usually just have "Hi" as the subject, after all it is in eHarmony mail so she knows who it is from and why I am send the message.

I am better flirting on the Advice boards than I am IRL or with a match from eHarmony
