I dont mind the first letter to be less informative, I would prefer a short one, but I want it to be PERSONAL, written just for me and for nobody else. I want a man to tell me what is it in my profile (and picture) that attracted his attention, and this detail should indicate whether a letter is canned or personal. Its important for me. I can see its important for my friend too. |

All what we need to achieve by fist introduction is to hook somebody’s attention; and you do not have tell this someone everything about yourself and the world around at once. So, draw your attention to other person. It might be a compliment or something that you noticed from her (or his) profile, some type of entertaining (joke or maybe a story why you decided to write her at fist place), a little about yourself and always live ideas for the next conversation. All what I am trying to say here is that it is so much better if your fist letter would be easy for perception and more personal. I believe everyone has their own imagination, style and way to search. Please no offence, it is no more that my personal opinion. And else…..I am just leaning English; please do not judge strictly my writing. |

My first letter was just a short note about me in general. I told her that I was interested in talking further with her. Some times I think that we make this a little harder than it has to be. I remember the old addage of kiss. Keep it simple stupid. I think that women tend to be the same over the world. They want to be valued, respected, and loved.

Due to the advances in technologies (i.e. email), should the first "letter" be an actual letter (you know paper, envelope, stamps and all that good stuff) or is it appropriate now to use emails? I know emails are faster, but a real letter still has a special place in this world. I have been emailing, but as I read Khashyar's initial post, it made me wonder if there is something I'm doing wrong. Thanks, |
