Author	Thread: Awkward enough?
Admin	Awkward enough? Posted : 26 Jan, 2013 01:27 PM Here's the question, there are a bunch of people on here that have profiles and lots of them say to "ask me about myself" or "send me a unique message" but how do you start up a conversation on a website with a complete stranger without coming off as a creeper or weirdo? What would you ladies like to see in a message from some guy you dont know? How would you like us guys to introduce ourselves without the first few messages being entirely awkward and you leaving? It's easy to introduce yourself in person but online it's a completely different animal. Post Reply
happyjer2911 View Profile History	Awkward enough? Posted : 26 Jan, 2013 06:50 PM I think anything you ask is good. Most real women get the awkward questions at first. Tell a young lady about yourself, Like... I saw you enjoy blank and I enjoy blank... Thought we could talk about that. Finding a common ground is always a bonus. Hope it helps. Post Reply
View Profile History	Awkward enough? Posted : 27 Jan, 2013 09:20 AM Nothing is really awkward when the conversation will start into a friendly tone, and ask a follow-up question about what's written in the profile. Actually, i always feel that sense of awkwardness writing mail to other person, as you wouldn't know how he's going to take it. It can be that I'm writing it in a fun way, but on the other side, he took offense with it. It just happened recently when i sent an email to guy with a picture standing on a lake or river. What i wrote is that.. "Here's a question: Are there any possible crocs in where you were swimming?" For me, it's a fun and friendly comment just to start a convo, as he wrote in the profie that anyone can ask him a question. What do you guys think of that question? Does that sound friendly, or awkward to take in? :peace: Post Reply

Fuzzybluetoesox View Profile History	Awkward enough? Posted : 11 Feb, 2013 05:52 PM Keep is simple and keep it sincere. Ask a direct question based on her profile and/or tell her what you liked about her profile. You can't lose with that approach. For me, the fastest ways to creepytown are: 1. Lavishing too much praise or interest on her, i.e. "You are the most gorgeous creature EVER," or "I think you are so, so, SO special." These are often the same guys who promise a lifetime of treating you like the ultra-spectacular princess you are and filling your world with puppies and unicorns and extra-sparkly rainbows of happiness. (um, gag) Keep it real. 2. Giving out too much ultra-personal information when you send that first message. A woman does not want you to introduce yourself by telling her about how broke you are or how you cry yourself to sleep at night or how your last relationship left you with unresolved bed-wetting issues. We would much rather you just say, "Hi, I liked your profile." (BTW, if anyone REALLY wants to lavish a princess with puppies and unicorns and extra-sparkly rainbows...I'm your gal.) :excited: Post Reply
Elianne777 View Profile History	Awkward enough? Posted : 16 Feb, 2013 03:36 PM When she has written something down on her profile, ask something about it... If she likes sports, ask what kind of sports she's doing... Than she knows you read her profile, and that you're really interested :) Post Reply
View Profile History	Awkward enough? Posted : 2 Mar, 2013 10:28 PM Thanks folks, that helps. I'm the fella that likes to make folks laugh, be a bit witty and at times sarcastic, that really hard to understand via internet. :/ I found out real quick humor or anything of that nature isn't good for the first few messages. It turns sour real fast if they misinterpret it. Post Reply
