Politeness, or why the first message is everything

Hello! For me, honestly, the first message is like a miniature first date. Only instead of coffee, there's the internet, and instead of a glance, there are words. So you open online dating sites for singles and see hundreds of profiles, but... someone writes "Hello." Just "Hello." That's it. It's like showing up to a meeting and silently waving your hand. A bit boring, right?

On relationship websites, I always notice that the most interesting conversations begin not with banal phrases, but with something lively; such original messages exude warmth, and it's palpable.

Because on online dating sites, we're not just looking for a partner, but for emotions—easiness, a smile, a spark. And politeness here isn't about a dry "hello," but about attention, kindness, and a little charm.

So, if you want a response, don't be afraid to be a little original. After all, sometimes one sincere "Hello, I'm interested in knowing what makes you happy" works better than a thousand templates.

    I’m Svetlana, and today I want to dive into a topic that’s been on my mind lately: the many faces of passion. When people think about "passion," they usually jump straight to the fireworks and the intense, "can't-keep-my-hands-off-you" phase. But as someone who has navigated the ups and downs of modern romance, I’ve realized that long-term passion is actually a colorful mosaic. It’s not just one

  • Flirting is the oxygen of a relationship, not child's play

    ID: 2130
    Many couples make the mistake of thinking that flirting is only necessary at the beginning. In fact, it's precisely this that maintains the lively tension between a man and a woman. A subtle glance, a hint, a smile, a phrase with a double meaning - this is the language of attraction. Even couples who met through good online dating sites recall that it all began with a game, not a serious conversat...
