How to Message a Match: Compliment Me--A Lot!

Maybe you'll find this one over the top. It is a bit showy (his heart stopped dead?) and it certainly breaks that rule of mine about keeping it short and sweet. But gosh, I am a big fan of this email. I might just read it again a few times... right... now

So here's my dilemma. Do I compliment you on having the most luminescent smile I've seen in ages? (I'm a sucker for a beautiful smile, and yours just made my heart stop dead). Or do I give you kudos for the Mr. Big reference? (I've also been known to belt that one out in a Karaoke bar, but probably don't do it as much justice as you do). Or do I mention how much I love "dog people"? Or how much I adore tall women? Or should I compliment you for having the most original and funny screen name on the site?

In all honesty, I think it was the smile that really got me more than anything, and everything else was a bonus. I'm sure with a smile like that, you get inundated with emails like this, so please don't feel obligated to reply. I just felt compelled to write something, because.... damn, that smile and those cheekbones completely nailed me, and caused a big smile to break out on my own face.

Anyway, I wish you all the very best and I'm sure that with your smile and your wonderful sense of humor, you will find exactly what it is you're looking for, and he will be one incredibly lucky man.

How to Message a Match: Compliment Me!

This was a really nice email.

when a girl puts her hair up with a pencil, parts of my brain malfunction in the nicest way.

normally when i compose a message, im a million times more verbose, but im not feeling very well. thus, i'll take the more direct approach and say that you seem both cute and interesting. congratulations. its a very nice combination to have.

Thanks, Robert!

How to Message a Match: Just Say Hi

I liked this email:

Well, I was going to go the easy way and just send you a woo- but I used them all up on a bunch of dickheads.

So, uh. Nice bike.

I don't quite get what he means by using all of his "woos" up on "dickheads", but the whole approach is fresh and silly and little more my style. You know, gents, my opinion is you don't have to put too much useful stuff in the conversation broaching message. The point is to start something, so just say hi! Thanks, Steve!
