Master the nuanced skill of initiating conversations. This guide explores the right level of politeness to make others eager to talk to you.

Hello, hello! Probably everyone who has ever visited*senior dating websites has encountered this awkward moment: you seem to want to start a conversation, but you don’t know how to do it so that the person doesn’t run away at the speed of light. And I, as a real ukrainian women dating website researcher, decided to share a couple of funny thoughts!

First, forget about the dull “Hello, how are you?”. This message looks like you’ve sent it 100 times in a row. Better come up with something original, for example: “Do you believe in love at first sight, or do you need at least two messages?” Funny, cute and most importantly – you want to answer!)

Second, don’t be afraid to be yourself. Sometimes it seems that on international singles dating site everyone is so serious and wants to decide everything right away... a house, a wedding, children. But getting to know someone is a game, not an exam. Add some humor, be yourself, and don't be afraid to open up!

And finally, be polite and attentive. Politeness is not just "hello," but also the ability to listen as if every word is a small adventure, to answer as quickly as if you were on a super important date, and not to forget to add something like: "So, how many times have you saved the world today?" Then the other person will subtly think that you are on the same path!

Do you have any signature phrases for starting a correspondence?

Without rushing, without the feeling of needing to do everything at once. On online Christian dating sites, for example, there's often a special atmosphere, people come there not for a five-minute fireworks show, but for a real dialogue. I like it when correspondence d...

    About the Female Figure and Self-Acceptance

    ID: 295
    Hello, today I want to talk about something very personal the female figure. So often women are told how they should look. Too slim, too curvy, too tall, too short... it feels like there is always something to criticize. From a young age, many of us learn to compare ourselves with others instead of listening to our own bodies. For me, a female figure is not about numbers, sizes, or trends. I...

    Missing Summer in the Cold of Winter

    ID: 414
    Hello, my name is Ivanna, and today I want to share a small piece of my mood. Winter is here, and I have to admit I miss summer a lot. I miss warm mornings, light dresses, open windows, and the feeling that the day is long and full of possibilities. Now everything outside is cold, gray, and quiet. The air is sharp, the days are short, and sometimes even my thoughts feel slower. In winter, I spen...

    ID: 2617
    Hello, my name is Olga, and today I want to share my honest thoughts about meeting people on the internet. For a long time, I was skeptical.

At some point, I realized that being open to new ways of meeting someone doesn’t me...
