Hi

I recently noticed a profile on an online dating site and introduced myself. She lives about 80 miles from me. She replied and we’ve exchanged two emails each since Saturday.

My question now is; how does one go about building a friendship and getting to know someone through emails? What does one write about in the beginning? You don’t know them very well so you can’t ask too much beyond “how was your day” and writing only about yourself is a little rude and the site doesn’t have a chat function.

Then, and I don’t know if this is purely coincidence that she was online at the time but, she replies very quickly. Should I, if possible, reply equally fast or would that appear odd? I mean she replied early evening tonight and I probably could have sent a reply an hour later but is it perhaps more appropriate to reply the next morning or even a day or two later?

Thanks

You should write about why you’re on the site in the first place and ask her why she is, too. It’s great to use dating sites to meet people, but don’t plan on conducting the entire relationship online. Use the site to get to know a person well enough to decide if you want to date them in real life. If you don’t, don’t continue the online relationship. If you do, then jump off the site and into real life with her!

For more questions, you should buy and read Date Out of Your League, a book I wrote for men who want to win with women. Here’s the link where you can buy the book: [url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/date-out-of-your-league.html[/url].

So you mean ask blatantly “Why did you register yourself on the site”?

Then what kind of questions should be asked to get to know someone better? We haven’t really asked such questions. We mostly wrote about how our days were, a little about our jobs and what we’re planning for the weekend.

Get the book I suggested, Date Out of Your League, [url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/date-out-of-your-league.html[/url], and read it. It’s going to give you a detailed and much better idea of how to win with women. I think it will help you a lot!

Let me know how it goes after you read it.

See you @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url]. 🙂
