Well isn't there a song that goes I had you from hello lol. I most always start out by saying hi. I don't think there isn't much wrong with that, I might say how are you doing etc but I haven't bothered emailing no body else.. I'd kinda given up on this very site, I mean women on this site at least seem very well I am just not gonna say it but it doesn't hurt to reply back. But I understand no every body has the time to say hi how are you and go from there etc. I guess some people like my self use simple words as a conversation starter, like Hi.. hello etc. But I my self type a little bit more then that, in the body.. my subject might be hi and then something nice profile or I like your pics etc. But no body replys back to those things any more so go figure. If I email someone for the first time, I attempt to put a little effort into it. I'll at least comment on something interesting in their profile, or something we may have in common. Saying hi isn't putting any effort into it at all. That's understandable and all, some people though find it easier to start out with hi and say hey I like this or that about you. But even when some people put as you said a little more effort into saying " hi " to some one else, they hardy ever reply back. I guess people standers are to high on wanting to find newer friends or something else on here etc, because a simple hi never hurts but you all seem to think so, that is with out adding more input to the whole subject. |

its a people thing most people dont want to pick the topic sense the are starting the conversation
although they dont know there even doing that so it really comes down to the cant think of anything interesting to say because the dont know you and hello is the easiest ice breaker |

Maybe think of it as if someone saw you, say in a club or something, and was interested in meetingyou...knowing more about you. What would be the first thing he/she would likely say if they came up to you in person? Some folks are able to come up with some sort of witty remark in that situation, but I think most of us would simply say 'Hi". Can't hurt to say 'Hi' back, can it?

But, like I said, I will reply to the "hi" messages with hi as well. |
