Private Affairs Personal Ad Tips: How to respond to a Private Affairs Ad

http://www.privateaffairs.com/how_to_respond.php

You've found an ad and you want to reply. But how to go about it so that you don't appear needy, desperate, or just plain weird?

Here are 5 tips to keep in mind when writing that all important first email to someone you'd like to get to know better.

Tip #1

Keep your first email short. It is ok to talk about things you have in common as revealed by the person's ad, but don't go into to great length or detail. This may appear frightening and you'll want some things to talk about later on, after you get a reply too!

Tip #2

Start by introducing yourself and talk about what you do for a living, one or two of your hobbies, but again, keep it short, just a couple of sentences.

Tip #3

Ask a couple of questions. Humor is a good thing here. "What's a nice girl like you hanging out at an online place like this?" Be sure to NOT ask any revealing personal questions, like real name, hometown, address, phone number and the like. You'll come across like a "cyber-stalker".

Tip #4

If you have posted your own ad, tell the person to go and read your profile.

Tip #5

Send only ONE email to the person. More than one will make you appear needy, desperate and just plain weird.

Remember, remain positive, keep reading those personal ads and keep sending out those introduction messages. Your lover is out there, and you want to find them rather than waiting for them to find you!
