 Many online dating sites are all about service. They’ll email you new members, people who match your search criteria and make it easy for your to contact them just by clicking on a link in that friendly, service-oriented email.
But you shouldn’t. And here’s why:
The only information you have at that point is a face you find attractive. Is that really worth a click?
It is no different than when you are out with your best guy or gal pals for an evening of fun and you spot someone across the room. Even in this case, you have more than just a pretty face. You have body language, their entire physical appearance and whether or not they seem to be having fun. However, you’re still in “just a pretty face” until you get into the meat of who that person is and actually have the chance to learn about all the things below the surface.
Next time you get one of those update emails from your online dating site of choice, thin before you click to “wink” or “send a message.” Instead, why not click through to their profile and give it a read? They’re putting it out there for your review, so by golly – give it a go! You may find out that he or she is, indeed, your dream girl. Or better yet, that pretty face may not want to date someone with kids and you’ve got two that you adore. Why waste your time? Move on to someone who’s a better fit right from the start instead of starting a conversation that isn’t going to go anywhere.
The bottom line is you should always be reading the profiles for anyone you wish to contact at an online dating site before initiating a conversation. Not only does it give you common ground to build a conversation around, it’s polite. Remember how you felt when the last person who obviously hadn’t read your profile sent you a message or a wink? You were probably a bit annoyed because they weren’t anything like you were looking for. If only they’d read your profile, right?
