He winked, you winked, he wrote a one line e-mail saying "What's up?" and now you don't know what to do. Well, I'll tell you one thing: don't write back saying "Not much, what's up with you?" Here are seven things you should make sure to do, or avoid in your e-mails. He can start the conversation, but so can you. Show initiative and start the conversation. In life being passive never pays so if you're interested write him and say so. You could write something like: "I'll tell you the boldest thing I've done if you tell me yours. I'm interested in getting to know you." Ask a lot of questions. It's a huge turnoff to date someone that only talks about him or herself. Wait for him to ask you specific questions before you go into the "soabout me" speech. He saw your profile. He knows about you. He'll be psyched if you show you're interested by asking him why David Sedaris is his favorite author or how long he lived in Japan. Don't keep him guessing about you for too long. If you wait too long to return an e-mail you might lose your intrigue and he may look for his next match. Write him back within a few days to tell him about the boldest thing you've done. It's only fair since he told you his. The e-mail love affair . The new guy gives great e-mail and it's exciting to see three e-mails from him when you log in, but don't wait too long before you meet him. It's disappointing to meet someone that you have zero attraction to. After the first five or so e-mails, I suggest meeting him so you won't be too bummed to lose your e-mail lover. Don't copy and paste. As tempting as it is to use the same "about me" e-mail with three potential online matches, it's easy to make mistakes this way. A friend of mine did this and sent the same e-mail to a guy twice AND she forgot to change the name at the top. Who talks more, men or women? I've seen studies that prove men talk more than women, but I know from experience that some men are turned off by a chatty Patty. Keep your e-mails to two short paragraphs until he writes you a long e-mail. If he ever does, then you know he has patience for chatter. Write a follow-up e-mail. This is personal preference, but I think it's nice to get a follow up e-mail after the first date. Even if you're not interested, it's just a nice thing to do.
