Question
I am a widow of two years.  I am middle aged and have not dated in over 35 years.  I recently joined a dating service and am at a loss as to how to write exciting clever emails etc.......I have also not posted a picture. How important is this?

Answer
you'll get alot more attention/response with a picture, assuming it's one guys will generally find attractive...as to writing emails, it's really just being yourself; of course, being creative, funny, showing interest, avoiding lengthy babbling about things too early for him to care about, all help..
