When you are communicating through email, there are certain rules of etiquette that you should follow, especially when you want to make a good impression. Writing a good email is important because it is usually what gives a new prospective date his or her first impression of you.

Here are some of the basic rules of email etiquette that you should follow when you are communicating by email:

• Use the same structure you would use for a letter

• Always use a spell check before you hit “send”

• Watch your grammar and punctuation

• Write in several small paragraphs instead of one large one

• Don’t request delivery and read receipts

• Keep your sentences short and to the point

• Write in text and not in HTML

• Don’t attach files unless the person you are emailing requested them

• Don’t keep sending emails if you don’t get a response right away

• Keep the tone of your writing warm but polite

• Don’t curse or swear

• Don’t use fancy fonts or insert pictures or animations

• Don’t use all capital letters

When you’re writing an email to someone on an online dating site, write it the same way you would write a business email. That will make a better impression than writing it the same way you would write an email to your best friend since high school.
