Men ‘should make the first move on online dating’

Men who opt to use the internet in a bid to find love have been advised they are most likely to meet a nice woman if they make the first move.

AskMen has published a guide to its top tips for success on online dating sites, and one rule is always to send the first email.

It explained that the women with most to offer simply do not make the first move, so it is up to men to get in touch.

Of course, no man should simply ignore messages he gets from a lady who has decided to send the opening email, but in most cases it will be left to the man to open exchanges.

Some girls will receive a huge number of messages every day, so not only will they not have time to search for new men, a first conversation will have to be good to leave them hooked.
