Well if you are single, you no longer have to pray that the Tryptophan from the turkey will knock any of your relatives out before they ask about your love life when you can easily find a member of the opposite sex online to bring to your annual Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and with the comes a few opportunities to provide a few context openers with your opening emails.
When you`re chatting online on your favorite free dating site, talking about holidays are the number one conversation starters online.
So if you`re looking for a Thanksgiving date, strike up a chat session by making a casual joke about something that happened during Thanksgiving involving a family member. We all have unbelievable anecdotes that would are also guaranteed crowd pleasers. Keep your opener short and to the point. Your goal is to be funny, flirty and entertaining and not to come across as the sad, desperate soul who is willing to share their family stories with complete strangers.
For example, why not start off by saying:
"So I don`t know what`s crazier, my Aunt Julie at the Thanksgiving table or this website."
You can then follow this up by telling a joke about that family member–then lead that to a crazy email you received from another member on the site. This will let your potential date know that you are funny, easy-going and similar to them because they have probably had crazy experiences on the site you are frequenting.
Context openers are always valuable when meeting people online–especially during the holidays. So, take advantage of this tactic when looking for a Thanksgiving date. It`s still not too late!
