Starting up a conversation with someone you like the
look of online can be quite daunting if you haven't done
it before, but luckily there are plenty of ways to make
this situation easier.

3. For starters, have you read their profile? Make sure you do, that
O
way you already know a little bit about them, and perhaps have
an interest or two in common. Maybe you're both animal lovers
and have lots of pets, or you both enjoy skiing and travelling.
Try mentioning a shared interest in your initial message, it'll
highlight the things you have in common and will also show
them you're genuine and trying to find someone you'll really
connect with.

4. Along with shared interests, you could ask them about their
O
profile picture. We're not suggesting you tell them how
gorgeous they look, (as this can easily come off as sleazy and
offensive), but perhaps ask them about where their profile
was taken - maybe it looks like they're on holiday or at a
party. As long as you don't get overly personnel, this can be
a great way of getting a response.

Make sure your message is light hearted and friendly. Be
polite and don't be offended if they don't respond.

And remember, there are also topics which you may want
to avoid such as religion and politics. These topics are best
avoided when you're not sure who you're talking too.
Someone may have filled in this information on their
profile, which suggests they are open about their religious
and political beliefs, but that doesn‘t mean it's a great
conversation to start off a relationship.
