I'm not sure if this is the right place but I'm hoping to get some advice from the women and couples fron this site.
What's a good opening message?
I've read profiles that say "be creative and don't just say hi." and in my head I think saying hi and asking how the other person is, is polite but what do I know. |

Yes, saying hi and asking how they are is polite and if we received one of those per day then we'd reply. But imagine receiving thirty each day. Then imagine spending two minutes on each one replying.. ..that's an hour each day. Then having to deal with the replies... ..those thirty become sixty the next day, etc. It's just too much.
Take the time to say something about yourself and to say something about the person you're writing to - pick something out of their profile to show you've read it and to give them something to answer. Believe me - you wouldn't want to hear our truthful answers to "how are you" or "how's your day been".
Good luck. |

Hear! Hear!
I thought it was just me, but it really can be laborious responding.
