How do I contact someone who interests me?
You can contact a member by sending an SMS, email, instant message or flirt.
It's free to flirt, but to email, SMS or instant message you need to subscribe. As a Subscriber you'll have full access to all of the site's communication tools.
Once you've subscribed, there are three ways to contact another member:
• Send an email. This allows you to write a brief note about yourself and why you're interested in getting in touch. You can go to either your search result list or the person's profile and click.
• Send an SMS – this allows you.
• If the person is online, you can send an instant message and start a conversation in real-time. The button flashes if someone is logged on.

Why am I not getting very many responses from other members?
If you're not getting many responses from other members, below are a few suggestions to help. Most likely you need to change your profile so that you grab peoples' attention.
If none of the suggestions below work, please feel free to email us by clicking here.
• Post photos in your profile. People like to talk to people they can see, so the more photos you have up, the more comfortable people will be emailing to you. In fact, most members only search for and write to people with photos, and that's why members with photos get 15 times more emails!
Your photos should show more than just what you look like - they should communicate your personality. The first photo should be a headshot and the others can be more creative. Remember to make them clear, current and in-focus!
• Make your profile more descriptive. Short and snappy wording will make you stand out in the dating crowd and, more importantly, attract the people who are right for you.
The key to writing great profile descriptions is in the detail, give specific examples. They want specific examples of the things that make you different, interesting and fun to be with. Write like you talk.
• Write great personal introductory emails. When contacting other members, remember to ask yourself, "Why am I writing to this person?" and then tell him/her. Flattery, writing about things you have in common, and a sense of humour will get you everywhere.
• Check your Inbox on the site on a regular basis. There may be messages waiting there that you're not aware of because maybe you have a "spam guard" in place on your personal email that is keeping our email notices from reaching you. You can set your personal email to recognize email from us so you won't miss future notices. Check with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or personal email service if you have any questions.
