Caroline from Facebook

Hi guys!

Caroline was a cute hairdresser I went out with a few times last year.

I “met” her in the hairdressing place, meaning that I had a haircut and noticed her – she was working there but to busy. And I guess I didn’t know what to say to her, but that’s okay. I knew I had facebook.

I chatted up my own hairdresser – just small talk but still, enough to get her on Facebook once I got home.

Then the search started and I quickly found the hot hairdresser among her friends – now, what do you write when you haven’t even talked?

I just found the email conversation and it went like this – opening as per the good old dating guide:

Me: Hey Caroline, think I saw you the other day in the saloon – you’re a friend of Susan´, right? I’m asking because she mentioned having a cool surfer friend, and I figured it might be you – yes or no to billabong and waves??

Her: Awww, no! Sorry, no surfer here!

Me: Oh. Haha, you could look like one! I guess cards are more your game, then. Bridge?

Her: Nooo, haha, that’s the worst! More yoga . Do you surf?

Those of you who follow my blog have seen this opening before. And it works so well, so why change it? This is the direct transcript from the email thread we had.

I have a perfect ice breaker for when you meet up the first time in real life – which can be hard sometimes but not if you use the facebookdater’ own preferred method

Again, it’s all about being a little cocky (playing bridge is something NO 24 year old girls do) and being interesting without showing it off – asking for surfing indicates that I surf which ALL girls digg.
