I only send emails to people I have interacted with in the forums or if I read something that moves me and want to let the person know that I agree. I respond to most emails even if its only to say thanks for saying hi unless the email says "I think you're pretty, let's chat" Those I delete. If that is all the person has to say I figure that it is a mass email and let someone else respond.

Hi, I've read your posts and profile, and you seem like someone that I would like to ask..... Where in the world would you like to go? I have the strange feeling that our interests might be similar. Could we possibly meet for coffee at your local airport. I, probably like you, really like the energy there. After that, don't let the theme rooms and farm animals on my jet throw you. I assure you that you will completely understand after we get to know each other better. Also be assured that the "front" of the plane is completely 1st class accomodations. The one exception is George the llama. He has free reign. I love that guy. Please reply and tell me what you think. PS. Does your airport have a donut shop? I have this interactive jelly donut sculpture idea that I think would work perfectly in a pressurized cabin. Genius!

don't send me an email if your a spammer or just a tease trying to boost your self esteem. i don't like emails that take me all day to read or very bad spelling and punctuation. i do like emails that are short and simple, that give reasons why they are interested or just say hello if i know ya. i don't always respond back because reality causes me to forget alot...."real life things" What about the emails you send? What has worked for you? i just tell them about the same interest we both have and if its a profile with not much in it but they caught my eye i ask them about some of their interest, or i'll even make a smart remark about something they had in their profile....btw hey sing Hi!

I usually ask them what they want to chat about. 9 times out of 10, they come back with "I don't know."

I just thought of something I haven't tried. Threats! Maybe if I threaten the women I write to they'll send a reply. Something like: Hi, I think you are very attractive and interesting and I'd like to get to know you better. And if you don't reply to this message, I'll start a vicious rumor about you involving live aardvarks and marshmallow cream. I'll get back to you. I think many would be better off if they attempted to use humor in first emails like this. Send it to 10 women and let us know how it works out .

Hmm, no response. Perhaps nothing works? Never has worked for me, so I stopped trying!

I know the following, from reading/presiding over forum boards for years. 1. People do not like one liners. for instance "hey babe you're hawt" or "hit me up if you wanna talk" "Get at me" I have seen that posted a million times, and it is an instant turn off, especially to women. 2. People like cordiality. An "upbeat" email is usually welcomed. A nice paragraph or two, showing a genuine interest in getting to know someone. A positive attitude is always preferred. 3. Don't cuss. I know society is more open to expletives nowadays, but people do find it offensive. Once some rapport has been established, and the other person is familiar with your mannerisms, then that may be acceptable. First contact emails should never contain expletives, or vulgar overtones. 4. Do not attempt to "sum up" your life story. Discussing old relationships, divorce etc. (again, establish some rapport) People do not want to read all that, when they do not even know you. 5. This one should be obvious... Never try to force a relationship. If you really like the person, (or think you do) then it's worth the time, to get to know them, and give them a chance to know you. The above is not directed at the op, it is just solid advice, for anyone serious about finding a significant other.
