Email is the most common form of communication for most couples, at least initially. This is where you’ll open up and express your true inner nature. Email is an almost instant form of communication and you can also send files and photos via this method.

• In the beginning, I advise that you don’t send any emails from your home or your work account. These email addresses often give out too much information about yourself that could potentially put you in some trouble.

  It is very easy to obtain a free email address at either Hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail. Make sure to chose a username that does not give away any private information about yourself, such as your surname. Someone could use your full name to find out much more about you.

• If you are totally new to email, then I recommend getting Spark Notes on the basics of email. Now is not the time to make silly mistakes, such as mistakenly sending a loveletter to everyone on your contact list. Yes, I have done that!
• In your first emails, you should make sure to avoid giving any information that will uniquely identify you, such as where you work. Make sure that you are totally honest about yourself because it is much better to scare a couple of people away than to have your heart broken later on. Here is a good example of the pain the was caused when a woman lied about her weight: “I kept my weight secret and now I think he’s backing off. Am I not living up to his fantasy?”
• It is possible to forward your emails to your cell phone by using the forwarding facility of the email provider. Be sure to be aware of any costs involved in receiving these emails as they count as sms’s. This is only advisable if you receive a small amount of emails or are waiting for a very special email. This is achieved by forwarding your email to your ten digit cell phone number at your service provider. An example of an AT&T cell phone is 10digitphonenumber@mobile.att.net. If you set up a unique account just for your partner, this can be a great way to integrate your partner into your day-to-day life.
• If you are sending emails to various people, please make sure that each email is individual to the person that you are writing to. People are able to tell if you are using a standard email to send out to many people and will be turned off.
