How can I get more replies to my emails?

The first thing to ask yourself is “am I doing myself justice in my online profile?” Take a look at the photos you have uploaded. Do they show you in your best light? Do they look like you spent some time choosing them and are serious about dating?

If you can answer “yes” to all these questions start to look at what your answered in the multiple choice questions then look at your essay answers. Does it look like you took some time over answering these questions? Did you skip any of them? Have you written easy to read essay answers?

Firstly, view the dating experience as an opportunity to get to know more about people.

If you think that your essay answers need revision then go back to your word processor and re-think what you have said. If you have too many long paragraphs then consider breaking them down into two to three sentences at most. Don’t feel you have to give your whole life story in your essays answers. They are just an overview of who you are, if you give everything away in your profile what will you have to talk about in emails?

So what kind of emails should you send?

First of all, make sure your emails are personalised to the person you are emailing. Address the person by their username. Be polite and considerate, don’t assume anything until you know a little bit more about the person.

Secondly, after reading their profile try and make some reference to things that interest you in your email. Don’t be contrived about this and if there is nothing that feels natural write a few words about yourself instead.

Thirdly, don’t make your emails sound too urgent. Some people only check their emails once a week so don’t be too upset if you don’t hear from some people in a few days. Certainly don’t become angry and feel ignored if you’re having an email conversation with someone and they go quiet for a short while.

Finally, Christian dating is a two way process, you get out what you put in. If your profile and emails aren’t up to scratch you can’t expect to get many emails. Make sure you log in regularly as this makes sure you appear nearer the top in searches. Remember to enjoy sending your emails and searching, it’s meant to be fun!
