Our online dating profiles become a representation of ourselves, our personalities and our ideals, but they can’t-do the talking for us. Instead, that role is our own, and if you want to be successful, you’d better get the hang of the introductory email. Simple in format but (often) paralyzing in practice, we’ve all been caught out with what to write in an introductory email. So ..read more
