How to write your first adult dating email

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Making a first impression is still very important in the world of online adult dating.  Here is an online adult dating tip for writing that first email.

Make sure you are polite when you first begin correspondence with a member of an online adult dating site that you are interested in.  If you say things that are derogatory, such as, “hey baby, want to get with me tonight?”, you will not get very far.  When it comes to adult dating, sex is most certainly part of the dating process and sex appeal and attraction may have a lot to do with “chemistry” and “spark”.  However, this is usually implied knowledge and is not something that needs to be stated in a lewd manner right off the bat.  Men and women alike will most likely be put off by such lewd behavior.

I’ve spoken to many women on online adult dating sites and I always here the same thing.  Women will tell me how the site is full of weirdos and perverts.  Don’t forget, the same rules apply to chatting that apply to email correspondence.  Make sure that you are at the right type of site for the type of language that you want to use.  If you are looking for sex, make sure you are a member of an adult dating site that is created for meeting other partners specifically for sex.  For more information on this, see my article titled “You are here“.

Try to tell the other adult dating site member why you are emailing them.  Maybe you liked something in their profile.  If so, tell them so.  Doing so will allow you to create conversation and will help to have a smoother level of communication by giving you something to talk about.  It’s always easy for people to converse when they have similar interests.  Not only that, it will help to give you a feel for whether or not you are compatible.  If you found the adult dating site member attractive, it’s OK to say that too.  Just make sure you mention it in a sincere and polite way.  After all, who doesn’t like a nice compliment every now and then.

Try to find out what interests the adult dating member may have.  Also, tell them about one or two of your interests.  Maybe tell them about a trip or vacation, something brief, but something to spark interest on their part.

The most important thing to do when you write your initial correspondence is to finish with a question or two.  By doing so, you give the other adult dating member a reason to write you back.  You leave the door open for them to take advantage of the opportunity you presented.  Not only that, if they are apprehensive to reply to your initial email, they may feel compelled to at least answer your question.

It’s very difficult to decide from a first email whether or not a person is right for you or not.  In reality, it will take several emails and real time IM chats to learn enough about a person to make that determination.  Remember, give people a chance.  We’ve all fumbled with our words when we begin talking to people, so give people the benefit of the doubt and try to find out more about them.  You never know who could be the right one, and after all, that’s why you are a member of an online adult dating site.

Have fun and happy dating.

You are here.

Obviously, adult dating sites are built for specific dating purposes.  Ultimately, it is up to you to decide why you want to be a member of an online adult dating site.  I’m sure you are aware that certain adult dating site cater to traditional type relationships while other adult dating sites cater towards sexual dating.

Several significant factors exist as to the importance of this decision.  The first one is, you do not walk into a meat market looking for ice cream.  A stretch of an analogy, I know, but you get the point.  Don’t expect to find a sexual adult dating partner at a site that is geared toward traditional romantic adult dating.  You will be disappointed with your results.  Also, you may have a different composure when you are corresponding with other adult dating members and you may come off as someone that you are not.  Adult dating members are not foolish people, they are real people.  And they will know what you are looking for very quickly.  After all, you are a member of an adult dating site and you are intelligent, right?

If you become a member at an online adult dating site that is not designed in a fashion that is conducive to meeting other singles for anything other than sexual encounters, you are not helping the member base of that site.  As I’ve previously mentioned, your demeanor while corresponding with others will be different.  This is simply a natural human process and does not indicate anything negative about you.  However, there is an effect that will ripple through the member base and could hurt other members chances to find what they are looking for.  For one thing, the female members of the adult dating site will be more on guard.  Their defenses will go up.  And, rightly so.  This affects other male members of the adult dating site because the females that have their defenses up may not even respond to a simple and cordial email from a male member that has all of the right intentions.  Help other members out by being in the right place for what you are looking for.  It’s really very simple.

The above may sound a little snide and trite, but it is very true.  I’ve witnessed first hand how member’s experiences can dictate how they deal with other members.  To be honest, it’s just not fair.  It can be summed up with “a few bad apples spoil the pot”.  Never is that more true than with online adult dating sites.

There are plenty of sites that allow like minded singles to find other like minded singles looking for casual dating or sexual dating.  Check out the Adult Personals page on this site for a few recommendations.

In the end, do not forget that you are not limited to becoming a member of only one adult dating site.  There are plenty of options out there, don’t limit yourself.  These online adult dating sites exist for us to use as another outlet or means to meet people that think the same way we do.  Let’s all do ourselves a favor and play by the rules.  Our experiences will only be as good as the effort we put in.  Check out the Adult Dating page on this website for traditional online adult dating sites.

The window of opportunity.

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

In any form of dating, whether it be online adult dating or traditional dating, there exists a “window of opportunity”.  This window is simply a small frame of time where there is enough mutual interest between two parties to get to know each other better.  This is the phase when one must strike while the iron is hot.  If you do not take advantage of this window, chances are that you will not develop a relationship with the other person.

When you are online, you may either send or receive an email.  If you receive an email, and do not respond in a timely fashion, the channel for communication can be closed quite quickly.  There are several reasons as to why this effect can happen.  One reason is that the other party has simply met someone else while you were sitting on your hands.  Yup, that means you let an opportunity slip away because you procrastinated or were indecisive.  Don’t forget, it really is not that difficult to to say hello back or simply wright a few words so as to acknowledge that you received, read and appreciated the email that was sent your way.  It’s like waving back when someone waves to you on the street.

Another reason may be due to the fact that the other member of the adult dating site is not a frequent user of the site.  The member may only check the adult dating site once every few days or once a week.  If this is the case, then any lack of communication would not fall on you, it would fall on them.  In fact, by the time the other member gets around to writing you back, chances are that you’ve already begun correspondence with another member of the adult dating site.

Sometimes, however, both parties initially do things the right way.  Adult dating site etiquette and protocol are mutually adhered to and proper use and recognition of the window of opportunity has been implemented.

In closing, remember that the window closes quickly.  You may have to work in order to maintain the level of interest another member of the adult dating site may have.  Be aware that the window exists.
