Dear chris:

It is my experience with online dating services that most matches do ignore the one reaching out. It is a matter of initiating a large number of requests for contact so to get a few back.

So I don’t think it is you. What it is- is the nature of online dating. It is a statistical operation. Most of your initiations will be ignored (unless you are a known celebrity or known for being wealthy). To increase your chances, you can polish your reaching-out-line, keep it authentic and yet more likely to get responses.

Instead of ” Hi, i am Jun hao, 23 this year and currently working. How about you? ” you can try another line. Again, always truthful, always authentic, but more attractive. How about a line that reveals something special about you, a line that says something very important, true about you, about the … none working you, who you are inside?
