Proven Opening Lines that get the Best Response Online

If you want to meet someone online it is important to know the opening lines that get the best response and how to write your first email.

There are more singles online than anywhere else – so it is important to get your approach right!

Let’s do a quick test of your knowledge on what to say, the answers are below so don’t cheat!:

If you are asking someone out do you say – hey wanna go out or do you want to go out tomorrow night?
What is the best compliment to give a girl – you have lovely eyes or you have cool glasses?
Would you get a better response calling someone sexy or adorable?

Zoosk has 38 million users and analyzed their data to give you the answers! Their results line up with the advice I have been giving (11 Proven Ways to be Successful Online!).

Don’t ask her out in the first message instead you need to find out if she is free first. Also take a couple of messages to build a connection with her before asking her out. It would rarely work in person to ask someone out the minute you met them – the same applies online.
