“Hi, how are you? I like your profile and pics! Do you like to wear tights and nylons?”
….Do I like to wear tights and nylons?! I mean, geez, for the record: Every now and again but no, not really. What would prompt you to ask a complete stranger something like that?
I get that it’s hard to believe there is an actual person on the other side of the screen. I think a good rule to follow is: If you wouldn’t say it to a complete strangers face (while sober, might I add..) you probably shouldn’t say it in an online dating message. Add in times 1000 if you actually want to meet someone online for other reason then their nylons.
