Specimen: Hi, how are you, Im Randy nice to meet you, just came across your profile and I think you look great on your pictures, Im very easy going and def. I can hold a good conversation, so it would be nice if we could get to know each other, even if it means just as friends :)… So if I may ask, how was your weekend :)

Analysis: Oh, he can hold a good conversation? I couldn’t tell. FYI – “How was your weekend,” is a very unoriginal “conversation starter” on a dating site. It is also uninviting of response because why would I want to detail my weekend to someone I don’t even know? The trick to an opening message on a dating site is differentiating your message from the next guy’s. How can you do that? For starters, read the girl’s profile and write a message based on something she wrote.

Your “likes” and comments are encouraged and appreciated. Thanks.

Another guy who “just wants to be friends” on a dating site…interesting ploy.
Was that “randy” in the Austin Powers sense?
