Effective Email Communication for Online Dating

Emotions through words. Conveying your intended message, without the aid of voice inflection or nonverbal cues can be challenging. It is well worth the effort to spend adequate time writing your email messages so that you convey as much of your personality through text as possible. Use a lot of adjectives and descriptive phrases to help communicate what you are feeling.

No Exaggerations. Although it may be tempting to exaggerate or "puff up" information about your appearance, profession, or interests - honesty really is the best policy, and misleading others is disrespectful. Don't misrepresent yourself- you may actually want to have a relationship with that particular special person you have been less than honest with and things will go downhill fast when they discover you've misled them!

Manners count. Respond to all email communications within a few days, even if the person sending the message is not your cup of tea. It is good online etiquette and I bet you would like a prompt reply to your messages sent out as well!

Not your cup of tea. Sometimes a potential destiny date you have been communicating with loses your interest and you conclude they aren't going to be THE one after all. If this happens, don't leave them out in the cold! Tell them thanks but that you are not interested in a relationship- then move on to other potential dates, and try not to make it too personal.

The more the merrier. By all means, correspond with numerous potential dates simultaneously! Don't worry about the loyalty factor until you've reached that point of commitment with a special someone. And of course this goes both ways, don't expect your email sender to only communicate with you, play fair!
