     Refer to something unique in her profile. Just as you would when meeting a girl offline, noticing something interesting or unique about her is the best way to spark an instant connection. This could be a favorite book or movie, a quote or a hobby that is a clue to who she is. Your move can be as straightforward as "I love that movie too" or, if you want to be more subtle, another line from the same scene.

     Compliment her on her photo. This is different than complimenting her on her looks, which you really shouldn't try to judge from one picture or even several. It's far better to notice something about the photo, whether it is a unique setting, camera angle or situation. By focusing on the effort she made in trying to create a good profile picture, you avoid the bland generality or creepy come-on associated with lines such as "You are pretty" or "I think you're sexy." Similarly, most people enjoy having their accomplishments recognized (even by strangers.) Complimenting a woman on her educational or career achievements is not only gracious but it can open up promising avenues of conversation about her experiences and interests.
   • 3   Use humor. Showing that you can laugh at yourself or even better, that you can make her laugh is a true key to putting her at ease. Try to find common ground with her personality and her interests. By communicating that you are fun to be with online you will give the impression that you are worth getting to know in the real world as well.

     Use an unusual subject line. People tend to associate very general online introductions (such as "Hi" or "Hey") with spam or at a lack of imagination. Using something slightly more creative, such as "Wie geht's?" or "You There - Yes I Mean You" will bridge the digital divide, making the point that you are a live human being with a brain and a smile.
