BEFORE YOU WRITE
Choose profiles that already give you a conversation idea
A shared interest, unusual activity or personal profile line often offers more than appearance alone.
FIRST CONTACT
Make it clear your message is not automatic
One specific profile detail can make the opening personal.
AFTER A FEW MESSAGES
Give the conversation some time
Not everyone writes long answers immediately.
THE MOST IMPORTANT SIGNAL
A good conversation is carried by both people
The other person also asks questions, responds to your answers and introduces topics.
You do not have to convince anyone
If you have to carry everything alone, another chat may deserve more attention.
USE YOUR TIME BETTER
Focus on contacts you genuinely want to return to
A few interesting conversations can be worth far more than many superficial ones.
