Usually that is all it say though... Surely if you want a decent conversation, you can think of more than that? |

If you say hi, then they say hi back, what would your next message be? Use that as the first one instead. |

I enjoy an intriguing question, I feel the need to reply to. |

Don't use the subject for the basis of your message and then put... In that message bit or start half a sentence in the subject then finish it in that message. It's just bad grammar also do what the profile requires you to do and read through it before hand |

Most of my first messages I send off the back of a thread. Occasionally someone catches the eye outside the forums and I just comment on what I like
Same in reverse, some messages will catch my eye and intrigue me to reply but only after I’ve checked their profile.
Then just let the conversation flow |

It’s not just the opening message. I hate when I feel as though I am interrogating someone just to keep the conversation going and I just get one sentence replies, or worse one word. I just give up.
Conversation is a two way street and I like people that are genuinely interested in other people. |

This  I've often had a message from someone I find interesting and eventually it goes to my paragraph of an answer to a couple of words as an answer from them.
However the best first message I've had was a cheeky insult, I had to reply. It didn't go much further as I wasn't attracted to that person, but I really admired the intelligence and wittiness of that message  |

Always try and go from something on their profile, doesn't always work as they might not have an interest it you.
But for the love of god don't try telling them you would 'destroy' or the likes...common sense tends to prevail. |
