OMG, are the guys ramping it up in hopes of a last-minute Valentine's date? I've gotten about 30 emails from them in the past 24 hours, sigh.
Hmm you know that's not a bad idea really I need to get busy and send off some letters lol. I think it's this pajamagram ad they keep running over and over again on the news sites
Hey, at least you know those are not stingy bastards! The rest will avoid it like the plague and resume pursuit right after it!
LOL, you have a point. Except, one of them apparently didn't think I was all too familiar with his city. He promised me a "night on the town" at a certain restaurant that I happen to know is one step above Chuck E. Cheese. Hahahahahahaha!
For the women on dating sites, what's the best way to introduce yourself on the first message without coming off as trying too hard and come across as sincere and maybe a little witty?

Honestly, I've never sent a message first. Introduce yourself in your profile and let them come to you. Then, sort through the ones that interest you and respond accordingly to their emails.
The profile is key, I think. Talk about yourself, your interests and the type of relationship you want. Be POSITIVE and light-hearted. Tell them what makes YOU special.
You'll still get some emails from idiots with 69 somewhere in their site name but you'll also attract the quality guys.
I meant to ask that question to the women here into regards of how a guy should e-mail. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
Oooops, sorry! Well, I've only answered two of the emails I've gotten. I sent a few flirts back to guys who flirted with me but they never emailed. Weird.
Anyhoo, I answered those two because the guys wrote very polite and genuine notes that simply said they liked my profile and I had the qualities they were seeking; then, they told me a bit about themselves. Further communication revealed them to be really straight-forward, nice men. One ultimately appealed to me more than the other one because we had more in common.
Hope that helps! Do know that sometimes the site COMPUTER creates matches and sends off emails, too, and I think that happens without the person's knowledge. That's why you may never get a response if you email the person. I'd guess that some profiles may also be old and the people don't participate anymore.
Easier than finding someone in "real life", but the drawback is, you communicate too much waiting awhile to meet, and then the sparks are gone and you have nothing to say. I found with the online dating thing I have more like when you just meet someone immediately and then start talking.
did i ever tell you bout my eharmony blond cutie? when i took the plunge and jumped a jet to nashville, there she was --quasimoto.
And I STILL can't believe you did that. Huck...shame on you.
