#47: Puppies or Ice Cream?

Helen Zaltzman has a way with words, which is why we're putting her to work solving one of the trickiest parts of online dating—composing your opening messages. Some lines can break the ice, while others just throw more ice into the void. We'll suggest a few ideas that just might work for you. Helen is the host of the The Allusionist podcast, and we especially adore her episode about online dating profiles.
Plus, Mandy Len Catron helps us become better matchmakers. She's the author of the book How to Fall in Love with Anyone.
