There is a saying that “you never get a second chance to make a good first impression”. Your first impression occurs the moment you send a message to someone you are interested in on an online dating service. Below is a video that provides some tips for that first contact. It also includes research like your chances of success are better if your first message is less than 300 characters in length.  It’s also good to start with a simple friendly phrase like “how’s it going?” Also vital is correct spelling and grammar. People are turned off by bad spelling, grammar that’s not cohesive, and a lack of skills when it comes to punctuation!!! Overall you want a friendly and well-written message that is personal.
