OnlineLove writes "You've spotted her. Only this time, it's not from across the room — it's from in front of your keyboard. You may have found Ms. Right online.

Her photo peeks out from a charming personal ad, and you know that it's time to let the wooing begin ... albeit via email. Do you know what to say? Where to begin? Charm her right from the start with these seven ways to woo her line by line.

1. Introduce yourself
With your first email, you are reaching out of the ether in the hopes that the two of you will "click." Refer to something in her profile that you agreed with or enjoyed reading. Tell her a little bit about yourself — where you live, what you do for a living and what you do for fun. Keep this initial message brief.

2. Match her tone
If she writes back quickly, you are doing well. Now it's up to you to keep the dialogue going. You'll want to answer any questions that she asks and ask a few of your own. However, maintain your mystique. Remember, these email messages should make her smile or laugh ... and want to get to know you in person.

3. Don't flood her inbox
This is a simple one. Write one message at a time and be patient. If you send two or three messages for every one she sends you, you'll lose you're allure.

4. Flirt a little
This isn't a job interview. Don't over-think your message. Write in your normal voice, tease her and sign off with something sassy.

5. Sassy sign offs
Mix it up so she doesn't read too much into "Take care." Any fifty-cent adjective will do, as long as it's not "Desperately Yours." Avoid banal "Best" and simple "Sincerely" because they look better on business letters.

6. Punctuate appropriately
Email has become increasingly informal, but for first impressions, it's smart to keep your messages nice and neat. Write complete sentences, and avoid writing in all capital letters or using exclamation points excessively.

7. Ask her out already
Don't wait too long to ask her out, especially if you are geographically close. If you feel really comfortable, plan something fun. Your email exchanges should've given you a good idea of what she likes to do, whether it's a trip to a new museum exhibit or an evening at a hockey game. Remember: Even the best writers are more fun in person.
