Writing Your Introduction Email

2009 October 3

Hi, my name is Robert. Please take a moment and read my profile. We have a lot in common and I’d really like to discover more of you in person. There is a coffee shop I like, can we meet there soon?
Your new Friend, Robert.

Search, find, intro, date… the magical four steps for turning an online meeting to a real world date.
The above is an example of what an introduction email should be.

All the prime elements are included:
- name
- info in profile (and picture, of course)
- invite to a very soon face-to-face coffee date

The challenge most people have is not withdrawing as fast as possible from an online meeting to a real world, face-to-cafe, listen-to-them-slurp-their-soup type real date.

You can only share so much online before conversation becomes stale. So, why hurt yourself over agonizingly slow “compatibility tests” and such… you see her/him, a quick intorduction letter ilike above, and move forward!
