Are awkward emails worse than awkward silence?

I have to say this online dating thing is very awkward. I really don't know what to say. So far it's mostly been people emailing me. If I don't think they look like butt, I write back to them. I hate those corny questions like "what do you do for fun?" or "what are your hobbies?" But if I don't ask those what am I supposed to ask.

And what if I see someone's profile that makes me laugh, and I think is handsome. What's a good way to lead off? What's a good way to keep the "conversation" going?

  1. Okay,here are some other questions that you might want to ask:

    1. Are you listening to music or watching TV at this moment? What are you listening to or watching?
    2.What are the little things in life than you enjoy? I'm not talking about major hobbies or anything like that, but just those little everyday things that will make you smile. I would then give a couple of examples of the type of little things I mean. For instance, I happen to love just dozing on my bed in the late afternoon/early evening when the sun is streaming in the window directly on my face. I'm not sleeping, but just enjoying the rest with the sun on my face. It's a very warm feeling and one can only think happy thoughts then. I think you find out quite a bit about a person this way. Also, it's not something they're used to thinking about so seldom do you get a "canned" response. (I found this off a website)
    3. Do you have any fetishes I should know about?
    4.Have you ever been arrested?
    5. What is the one, single food that you would never give up?
    6. What's your worst pet peeve?
