How to write excellent E-mails:
- Write something cool in your subject line: your subject line had better be a lot more eye-catching than "Hello." Try something more unique that relates to your last interaction with them. That'll get her attention.
- Make your e-mail all about them: Enough about you and your life; the fastest way to impress someone is to focus on her interests.
- Make yourself look good, but don't make yourself into something you won't be able to live with.
- E-mail is no time to bare your soul. It can be tempting to reveal something mysterious, deep, or unusual to hook someone in, but chances are it will only come across as odd.
- Keep it short. Sure, novel-length dispatches sent every hour, on the hour, show that you're brimming with things you want to share, but they also say you have way too much time on your hands, or are just plain obsessive and creepy.
- Exit gracefully. When you're signing off, err on the side of restraint. Better to leave them wondering about your intentions than set off alarm bells with something too amorous. Even the letters "XO"-humble little symbols that signify mere friendly affection to some-give heart palpitations to others. Use with caution.
