How to Respond to Listings on Penpal or Dating Sites

Feeling lonely? Online dating and penpal sites can be a great way to meet new people, but you need to know the rules of responding. Here's some help.
1. Read the person's profile carefully. What are their interests? What do you have in common ? What is it about them that you find unique or interesting?
2. Hit reply.
3. Start off with a brief explanation of who you are and why you are writing to them.
4. State the interests that you have in common .
5. Ask the person some questions based on statements they've made. For example, if they say they like to read, ask them about their favorite authors. Questions about tastes in books, music, movies and TV shows are always good.
6. Compliment the person. If their profile is well-written, let them know that.
