Email Etiquette for Dating Christian Singles

If you're interested in a particular person's dating profile, and you want to contact them via email, then here are a few dating advice tips on email etiquette that will help you succeed.

• Don't give out your regular email address too soon.  Once someone has your name, it's easy to track your location.
• Speak the Truth in love.  As single christians, remember that the foundation for all our emails and online communications should be speaking the truth in love (Eph 4:15) with wholesomeness (Eph 4:29).
• Have something to say.  Whether you are meeting face to face or through email, having good conversation starter skills will help you connect with the other person, while helping you ascertain whether they are a match for you as well.
• Keep it Real.  If you are writing your first email, don't send a form letter.  Believe me, singles can tell when they've been spammed.
• Always leave them wanting more.You're writing a dating letter not a novel, so keep it brief, warm and to the point.  Even if you do not have the time to respond as you would like, acknowledging the other party's initial email with a little note, and explaining you will get back shortly is decent email etiquette.
• If after having several email conversations with a potential mate, you decide to end the communication, appropriate etiquette would dictate that you sendoff an email explaining the situation.
