Ditto the kudos. Extremely well said. Lots of good, practical, common sense advice. Can i add a couple of suggestions to your list of "don'ts"? - Don't go for the crotch. Sending a Woman an entirely sexual email is the quickest way to get your letter deleted. I've noticed that when Women write it's usually more on a "get to know you" basis, trying to find out if you have any common ground. Guys have a tendency to think with the little head first, and launch right into a discussion of how turned on they get wearing plastic diapers and rubber booties (or whatever) and it can be a surefire way to turn a Woman off. - Don't send a 1-liner email. Another quick way to get tossed in the trash. One liners = no brainers. If you've spent all of 10 seconds constructing your approach, more than likely she is going to spend an equal amount of time flushing your note down the toilet. This may seem pretty basic, but i get the feeling a lot of guys still do this. Here are two suggestion for the "do" list... - Be a gentleman. Many years ago I asked a Woman what kind of men she liked. She replied, "Gentlemen." Old fashioned chivalry, like opening doors, picking up the tab, arriving with flowers, writing her poetry, throwing your cloak over a puddle... all of these actions show her that you care, that you're thinking about her, and that it's not all about you. - Follow her lead. Or to turn it around, don't try to lead. Consider your communication like dancing. Show interest in getting together, but ultimately it is up to her to determne the time and the place. She has to feel comfortable. Don't try to be pushy or overly aggressive. This can be difficult, because a Woman wants to know that you're interested in her - but she doesn't want to feel you're trying to take control. Try to strike a delicate balance of letting her know you're available and ready to serve her when She feels comfortable. Anyway, those were just some random thoughts.
