This topic may have already been covered. It's only to serve as a gentle reminder as some of the below have become rather annoying.

If you're planning to message a potential interest, kindly ensure that you have read their profile and not solely base your decision on their photo. Beauty is only skin deep. Do you know you can avoid asking stupid questions if you have done so in the first place? Don't waste time on profiles that are incomplete.

No one likes run on sentences/ or misspelled words (words with every other letter for shorthand?). I don't mind typos but c'mon, I don't want to have to decode what you're trying to say so, try using a dictionary if your not sure. Don't be lazy! (I can understand that English may not be your first language but...)

Keep the conversation flowing! Its simple. Go for coffee when time is right and don't rush into anything you're not comfortable with. At the end of the day, you might've not hit it off in IRL but at least maybe made a friend?

Quit whining about where all the good women/ men are! If you haven't made any attempts to contact them, how will you know? Make time and engage in chats/conversations. Don't assume the worse in people.

Good luck on your searches! Happy Holidays!

AMEN!

Yep - one of my pet peeves too. Do you REALLY want to convey to the world that you're functionally illiterate??

Sounds controlling to me, don't do this, don't do that, rules before a message is even sent, no thanks.

hahahaha

Just a few grammatical errors there:

"..c'mon, I don't want to have to decode what you're trying to say so.."

hahaha this just cracked me up, using code to tell someone not to use code.

"your" of course, should be "you're".

"Its" should be "It's".

"in IRL" redundant "in" as you repeat it 'IRL'.

Just pointing out here, everyone has different standards.
My feeling is, if they can communicate, it is a good thing.
