But instead of worrying try our tricks that will have you both staring at your screens just waiting
for the next message.
Thumbs at the ready…
Begin
with a joke
A sense of humour is one of, if not the most desirable trait in a partner, and something we all know goes a
looooong way.
If you can make someone smile
while they’re reading your message they won’t be able to resist to reply – use emojis and try relating your message to something in their profile to show you’ve taken the time to read their
profile too.
Give a compliment
Who doesn’t like to be complimented? If you like someone’s profile
picture let them know but be careful
not to go too far. Try to avoid; ‘You’re the most beautiful person on earth’ and
‘How you doing hottie?’!
If you think a compliment is too much why not use what’s going on in the picture and ask about where
they are, or what they are doing – it’s a great conversation starter and it’ll
give you an insight into things they enjoy.
Don't Ctrl C, Ctrl V
You may not think so, but receive
a few copy and pasted messages and they will soon stand out – for all the wrong
reasons.
It doesn’t feel genuine and is
certainly never going to be met with an exciting response. This may sound a
little harsh but if you don’t have the time to start a conversation and be
interested in what you’re saying why should someone else be? Be genuine, it'll be worth it in the long-term.
Make an
effort
At best, bad grammar, text speak and spelling
mistakes are really distracting. When mistakes jump off the page, it
makes it harder to focus on what you’re saying.
Messages like: ‘How u doin hun?’,
‘How’s you?’ or ‘Hey Sexy;)’ probably won’t get you much attention so take your time and check your message - would you like to receive it?
Things in
common
People put a lot of effort into creating their profile, read it and you could find out their interests, if
you have similar taste in music, animals, travelling or food – whatever the
subject try to include it in your message. This will show you’re really interested and also takes the awkwardness out of replying as you
already have a topic to talk about.
Don’t worry
Yes it’s the first message but it
is only a message - don’t let any doubts you may have stop you starting something amazing!
