Dating email - get better results! - Part II

My last post of 7/21/2013 listed many items one should not have in a dating email. Today's email be take the positive side and offer positive things one should do in their date mail. As  mentioned in my book ( see my website at www.netiquetteiq.com), email is the least effective form of communications. It is important to focus on positives. This begins with good Netiquette skills. Just the format, name identifier field and subject field alone, when poorly done, can cause an email not to be taken seriously or even read. Remember that date emails are typically competitive in nature and positives, no matter how small, can make a difference in being successful. Here are some suggestions for making your email stand out.

1. Be yourself in the way you would like others to perceive you. Think of all the best ways to accomplish this. Make sure your attitude is at its best when writing an email.

2. Be brief in the length. Set a tone to have your recipient want to know more.

3. Ask about a couple of their favorite things such as places to go on a date.

4. Use the person's name. Reference them more often thsn yourself. This conveys a personalization.

5. Mention common interests if you know of any.

6. Show your human side such caring for animals.

7. Remember that you can not be perfect all of the time. Aim to be as good as you can be.

8. Lastly use words that everyone understands and which have a good sound and connote a positive tone. Some of these are:

reliable
quality
accuracy
adaptability
admirable
devoted
balanced
gracious
faithful
perceptive
energy
brilliance
clarity
genuine
compelling
confidence
loyalty
consistent
meaningful

Dating email - get better results! - Part I

Dating email is one which requires sound thinking and balance. Just as in an business email, a single word or phrase can derail forever any opportunity to move forward with your recipient. Also keep in mind that what begins as a simple email might end up being a lifetime fulfillment.

Follow all basic Netiquette rules! They are all over this blogsite or in my book, "NetiquetteIQ - A Comprehensive Guide to Improve, Enhance, and Add Power to Your Email". Simple items such as emoticons, abbreviations, spelling, and format are essential. More advanced areas to avoid are:

Do not overstate the obvious
Do not brag about accomplishments
Do not discuss money
Avoid jokes on the initial emails
Never bring up politics
Do not respond too quickly, respond back from between 24-36 hours
Respond during normal times time of polite correspondence, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Never make assumptions
Do not make unnecessary apologies
Do not comment on other on-line dating experiences
Do not make any references or innuendos to adult language or conduct

The number one, most important rule of date email Netiquette is  to never exaggerate or prevaricate! Sooner or later, if a relationship begins to develop and grow, the truth will prevail.

Remember . . .

Diamonds are forever, email comes close.
-- Jane Kronholz

There are other categories of email which share some similarities of dating email. These concern social situations such as applications for membership in a group or organization, introductory letters outside of business and certain solicitations.

As much as any other type of email, tone is very critical. Also, in my opinion, being yourself is as well. Try to develop an "ethos" or consistent way to express yourself  in a balanced and objectified way. You want the person you are communication with to receive a message that is you. All of the dos and don't are really just a vehicle to make that happen.

My next blog posting will part Part II of this post, which will offer insights as to what one should do in dating emails.
