Tips for a Great First Message

A good first message should be:

• Friendly and respectful
• Personal rather than generic
• Short and easy to reply to
• Positive and genuine

Instead of simply saying "Hi," mention something you noticed on their profile.

Examples

• "Hi! I noticed we both enjoy hiking. What's your favorite trail in the Maritimes?"
• "Your profile made me smile. What's your idea of the perfect weekend?"
• "I see you're a coffee fan too. Do you have a favorite café?"

Conversation Ideas

If you're not sure what to say, try asking about:

• Their hobbies
• Favorite travel destinations
• Music or movies
• Pets
• Local events
• Outdoor activities
• Favorite restaurants
• Weekend plans

People usually enjoy talking about their interests.

First Message Tips

✅ Read their profile first.

✅ Ask a question.

✅ Be yourself.

✅ Use proper spelling and grammar.

✅ Keep your first message brief.

Avoid These Mistakes

Try not to:

• Send the same message to everyone.
• Use offensive or inappropriate language.
• Ask for personal information immediately.
• Pressure someone to reply.
• Send multiple messages if they haven't responded.
• Respectful communication helps create a better experience for everyone.


If Someone Doesn't Reply

Not everyone will respond, and that's okay.

Remember:

• People may not log in every day.
• They may already be talking with someone else.
• They may simply not feel a connection.

Continue meeting new people and stay positive.

Staying Safe

Always:

• Keep conversations respectful.
• Never share financial information.
• Be cautious when sharing personal details.
• Report any inappropriate behavior using the site's reporting tools.

Your safety is important.
