Ettiquette:

When you look at someone's profile and decided to send them a message, how can you have a better chance of getting a response?

~First read the entire profile
~Be sure to let them know that you read their profile and make a comment or question about something on their profile
~Be friendly and let them know you will be looking forward to hearing back from them.
~Don't send messages that only contain phrases like 'you are hot' or 'what's up?'
~If you are horrible at spelling or grammar, it might help to type a message into MS Word and doing spell check and pasting it into email

If you receive a message from someone and you aren't interested?

~Send a response and let them know that you are either not interested or are not looking for a relationship at the time.
~If you continue to get messages after you have made it clear that you don't want to correspond with them, block them
~If you get an inappropriate message, don't respond and block them

What happens if you are in the forums and you find someone that you are interested in?

~Take a look at their profile
~Send them a message commenting on something posted in the forum or on their profile


Warning Signs:

-they want to know everything about you but don't give any information about themselves

-they overly call you pet names before even getting to know you

-once you have gotten to know someone,they don't directly answer serious questions; they dance around the answer

-they ask very personal questions that you don't feel comfortable answering

-they dont email, call, or im when they said they would and dont have an appropriate answer for why

-they are overly jealous or controlling of your time and energy


Most of us are on here in the hopes of finding the 'one'. Be careful to not confused negative attention as someone being interested. Have respect for yourself and your personal space. And lastly, trust your intuition and don't ignore it!

BRAVO TANYA!!!!!!! This is very important...Thank You

Sometimes we all just need to be reminded!

Im just here for the Lust,

If anyone has something to add to ettiquette or warning signs, please feel free to post it.

Well then! All the ladies email riding and tell him that he is HOT!

If they answer your question with a question....then avoid...cause they are probably just gonna tell you what you wanna hear.

That's a good one! Especially if it a constant occurance!


Are you feeling any better?

Yeah. Little better. When the weather changes, I get colds. Always happens.

Okay...let's add the signs of a scammer in here:
They are usually very handsome?pretty
Their pics look as though they come from a magazine
They immediately tell you how wonderful you are and ask for your personal IM...DON"T DO IT
They never can put up a different pic...some how not available
They are normally "very rich"
From another country but now live in the states
Work for a large corporation
In love within a week and want to travel to see you
And want you to be the mother of their children

* and they type in very broken English...just from my experiences

Thanks for adding that!

No text speak either.

I mean, do you want to respond to "How r u? I am fine 2 day."

wtf u mean i have to type every letter?

i was looking through mutual match last night and came across someone who used 2 in place of to. sorry, but some internet speak is a turn off.

i am a walking turn off.

How can someone with a picture of themselves wearing a frog hat on their profile be a walking turn off?

Oh one more....


If you are shy, don't continue to keep looking at someone's profile and never send them a message. Suck it up and send a message Or quit looking at their profile!

Yea I finally did that. You ladies seem to have the answers to everything. How do you do a spell check in here? Thanks again.

yea good one, dont need someone thinking your a wierdo.
