"Just when I was wondering if it was time to take the online dating plunge, The Fonz and my buddy Matt came through with two friends who are willing to go out with me. Thanks, fellas.\u00A0 Now all I have to do is shoot them a quick email and get the ball rolling. But you should know by now that nothing is ever that easy for me. I pride myself on giving good email. I capitalize, use complete sentences, and spend way too much time trying to be clever, even at work. You might say composing save-worthy emails is something of a hobby.\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO: \u00A9Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett CollectionBut despite all of my hard work mastering the medium, I&amp;#39;ve been putting off writing my new contacts. I know, I know--how long can it take to type &amp;quot;Hi, I&amp;#39;m Ryan. Want to go out sometime?&amp;quot; But that&amp;#39;s just not how I roll, so let&amp;#39;s just help me make the perfect first impression, mkay? Here are a few lines I won&amp;#39;t be busting out:\n&amp;quot;Is it cool if we got IHOP? Because I have a gift certificate that&amp;#39;s about to expire.&amp;quot;\n&amp;quot;Don&amp;#39;t be nervous--I have really low standards.&amp;quot;\n&amp;quot;Favorite band? Definitely Crazy Town.&amp;quot;\nHelp me out--what are the best and worst things a guy could write in an introductory email?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
