I've had a few questions regarding 'email etiquette' recently, so thought it might be useful to blog to you all answering a common question this week...
....'I've been favourited, what should I do, should I email?'....
Well, favouriting is a bit like sending a flirty glance across the room. You did it to them, maybe they've returned the compliment, now of course your question is, who should make the first contact? Should you wait for them to send the first mail? Should you do it?
Ladies, if you're demurely waiting for Mr Chivalrous to send you a missive stop right now. Where's your gumption?
If you fancy this chap enough to pop him in your favourites the chances are other women do too. They've probably already sent him a mail and he's probably already replied. They might be agreeing a date. This could be you, so get mailing now.
Similarly chaps, if a woman likes you enough to put you in her favourites, accept the compliment and drop them a mail. There's no point being shy in this game. Send a short email, a couple of lines long. Refer to something you have in common, something in their profile, ask some questions (people love talking about themselves after all); anything that will perk their interest and get them looking at your profile.
And lastly to everyone......If you send a mail, and don't get a reply, don't let it knock your confidence. The thing to bare in mind is that this is completely normal and happens to everyone - you have to be proactive.
So to sum up, yes, if you are popped into favourites...say hello!
