Do you see a profile that you are interested in but you don't know how to initiate a conversation with the person you are interested in? You know that you don't want to sound cheezy or corny but you can't quite think of the perfect thing to say.
Well first I would like to start off by saying make sure you don't use any pick up lines. If you want the person you are interested in to take you seriously, any lines like.. "" you must be an angel, because I'm sure you fell straight from heaven" won't work and it most likely will result in that person deleting your email and not taking a proper chance on you.
I have found that the best method to use when trying to approach them is to first off...BE YOURSELF! You want them to take you seriously and not think that your some goof ball just looking tor a hang out bubby and not a long term relationship.
Second, start with HELLO! That seems like such an obvious tip but you would be surprised at how many people don't realize that the person you are interested in is just a normal person who would be more responsive to a kind hello then some ''pickup line".
Third, keep it light and flirty. A couple lines are all that's needed to get a conversation started. You don't have to give them your whole bio in the first initial email. That is sure to turn the person off because they can feel like you are providing them with ''TMI'' and going on and on. It can also give them the impression that you like to talk to much about yourself. KEEP IT SHORT, FLIRTY, AND SWEET.
Fourth, If you see that you share a common interest with them then you could mention that in your email. This is a perfect ice breaker because it gives you something to talk about.
Fifth, It's a awesome idea to ASK A QUESTION! This almost insures a reply. Because if you are asking someone a question..they feel that you are really trying to get to know them as a person and the door is opened for conversation.
A sample ice breaker would be. Hello, I saw your profile and it sparked my interest. Your smile caught my eye as well. I see that you are interested in fishing. Fishing is one of my favorite past times. How often do you fish?'' See...a couple lines...you have initiated that you have something in common and you asked them a question. So now they have something to reply back to.
Hopes this helps you in your initial contact to breaking the ice. On millionaire matchmaker, use these tips and you are almost sure to get a reply!
