Aside from chat rooms, you might want to look through the members’ gallery to find a man or woman who you feel you’re compatible with. Once you’ve spotted that special someone, you can send them a private message. That is a great way to get the ball rolling, but you might not always get a response. To improve your chances, make sure your message isn’t generic, and that you’ve tailored it to be personal to the individual you’re messaging. Nothing is more of a turn-off than to receive a bunch of cheesy chat-up lines or a general message from someone who hasn’t read your profile! Show genuine interest and make sure the person you’ve picked seems compatible, and you stand a great chance of a successful match!
