Specimen: Hey,
How are you doing? I read your profile and thought you sounded pretty interesting. Kind of puzzled at why you would be single honestly. So I thought I would try to get to know more about you. I guess to do so I am going to have to start off with a few questions. Hmmm what to ask…
May I ask why your last relationship ended?
What would you consider the most difficult thing for your significant other to deal with?
What is the craziest thing you have ever done and why?
Well I hope to hear from you soon and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Joe
Analysis: This isn’t a bad message, but he asks too many questions that require lengthy, deep answers. As for his first question, the first thing I want to discuss with a potential specimen is not my last relationship. His second question isn’t as bad, but I don’t necessarily want to open with negative traits. The third question is acceptable.
