Online Dating in London: More Dating Tips about Emailing

Good advice for when you are dating in London is this: although it’s a good idea to send out lots of emails you shouldn’t go for quantity alone, good quality emails really make a difference. Having 5 good generic emails available and then customising them for each contact works well. Try to look for 5 distinct things in his or her profile and use them in your email. This will make much more difference than 500 words of waffle with no clear customisation.

Try not to make bad spelling typos, check and recheck. Seeing an email with lots of typos indicates someone who can’t be bothered. Some typos can be really embarrassing – one which comes to mind was this: a guy who was pretty good at cooking said in his email: “ I’ve been told I’m a pretty good cock but you’ll have to taste for yourself to find out” ! Hmm, funny but could be a put off.

One thing is not to sound as though you are trying too hard, keep the tone relaxed, spontaneous and informal, just as though you were chatting to someone. If you overdo the long words and include too many descriptive words it will sound as though you are trying to impress, so although you may feel desperate you really mustn’t sound it! Don’t name drop, giving a list of books you’ve read or films you’ve watched is pretty boring. Same goes for describing your work, don’t go into detail just give a general overview. All these things will make you sound relaxed and easy to know. Try hard with your email but don’t sound as though you are! Follow tghis advice and dating in London will be great.
