First impressions is so important !!
Whether texting or emailing a girl for the first time, you should make that first impression...impressive !! It can make a difference on whether a girl responds or not !
When a guy texts me with "Wassup"...well, I just can't bring myself to respond. I may be sitting around doing nothing, waiting for company...it doesn't matter. I just can't bring myself to respond to a person that messages me with a "Wassup" or something like that
The best intro is a guy that introduces himself properly ! No, I'm not saying for you to give your life story in that first communication...keep it simple and straight forward.
This is the perfect intro...short and sweet and PERFECT
"Hi, my name is George. I'm 56y, white. Saw your posting and interested in meeting"
Bam !!! I would respond to this type of message all day long !!
Try it !
