In your own words
Once you’ve been introduced to be2 members whose personality is well suited to yours, you can take a look at their profiles to find out more about their likes and dislikes, values and opinions. If a profile appeals to you and you want to get to know the person behind the profile, it’s time to get in touch.
Here’s how to turn an online flirt into a meaningful relationship with online love messages:
1. Think before you write. First impressions count, so put some thought into what you write. A well-written introduction is much more likely to get a reply than a hasty note full of typos and grammatical errors, so take the time to think before you hit send.
2. Be individual. Avoid sending standardised messages to all partner recommendations. Instead, put together a new love message for each person, specifically tailored to the information in the personality profile.
3. Do your homework. Take a good look at your partner recommendation’s profile. Not only will the different sections of the profile give you plenty of handy conversation starters, you can also score brownie points by proving your genuine interest.
4. Flattery will get you... a reply. Start out with a compliment or an allusion to something you have in common. You can also explain why you are attracted to the person you are writing to by pointing out the parts of their profile that are interesting to you.
5. Give and take. Ideally, your first love message should give information about you, while also asking for information about your partner recommendation. Say enough about yourself to generate interest, but leave room for further inquiries. The more specific the questions you ask, the more likely you are to get a reply.
6. Show and tell. What you say in your love message is important and if you say it well, the recipient will want to see the face behind the message. You decide at which point other members are allowed to see your photo, but be prepared with a great picture when that time comes!
7. Easy does it. Don’t rush the relationship. Your privacy remains protected until you are ready to give it up. Thanks to our internal messaging system, you can communicate anonymously as long as you wish.
