Tips on approaching your match on a Matrimony Site -

1. Take hints from the profile

 This is what you should begin with. The few details mentioned in the matrimonial profile will give you a better understanding of the sort of individual you will be interacting with - their interests, their likes & dislikes and attitude.

2. Common Interests Shared

Talking about common hobbies and interests is a fantastic way to break the ice between you two. Discussing about a common interest will make sure you both have something to talk about without getting too personal.

3. Keeping it Simple 

Beginning the conversation by greeting the person with a "Hi" or "Hello". Introducing yourself, little more than what you've have mentioned in your matrimonial profile. You can also pay compliments if you find their profile well-crafted and interesting. Don't exaggerate too much and be as simple and polite as possible. You should sound real and genuine.

4. Not to sound intimidating

What many neglect acknowledging is that their tone sounds intimidating. You don't need the other person feel like you are forcing or imposing on them. So, make sure you better not sound intimidating.

5. Try not to hit on the person

Most of the times, we feel that calling a man " hot, sexy or cool" sounds trendy and modern. Despite making you sound modern, it creates a bad impression. Take care of what you speak.

6. No personal inquires

No individual will be comfortable sharing personal information with a stranger, that too with a person who is just virtually present in front of him/her. You need to respect individual's privacy and save those questions for later conversations, when you get on daily talking terms.

7. Try not to rush

Approaching a match is not about directly proposing marriage. You can put up your suggestion that if both are interested, you both can get to know each-other in a better way. And, if things work out well, then there may be a right time to say "I want to marry you", but please don't rush in the very initial phase.

8. Be Yourself

Its quite natural to be slightly pretentious when you are trying to impress someone. But you will need someone to be honest with you, so you too need to do the same. Show them the real side of you. Just be Yourself.

9. Invite for a meet

After few times of conversation, and if you feel you are quite comfortable with the individual, you can take it to the next level by inviting the person for a date. However, you need to make sure that you both should be keen about the meeting.

10. Stay positive

Don't get disheartened if the individual you are trying to approach does not respond positively. Stay positive, there are going to be lot more people you can interact with.

So, I hope by using the above tips you will be able to approach the match which is perfect to be your better half for the rest of your life.
