I’m often asked by clients how can they stand out in a sea of on-line singles. Marketing common sense says it’s definitely not by writing the “same old, same old”.
A few opening lines from Single Seekers that would flat line a first encounter:
“Hi.” (Original? Sigh! NEXT…)
“How ru?” (You can text but can you spell? NEXT …)
“What are you doing tonight?” (I’m reading your question. NEXT …)
Then along came “Hello Kitty” (My profile says I’m currently studying Japanese. Ko-ni-chi-wa!)
If you’re interested in someone and you’ve read their profile, then write something clever and engaging. I guarantee you won’t get lost in translation nor end up not knowing “why they say good-bye when you say hello.”
