You might spot these two essential buttons on your account - which show at the top on a mobile as well as on the desktop. They are both great ways to contact other users, so it's up to you, which you feel most comfortable with!
Winks are included on free accounts and are a digital wink you can send to a user you are interested in to let them know you would like to connect. This is an excellent option if you find it tough to introduce yourself and act as an instant icebreaker!
Chats are a direct message, and you have access to limited conversations per day on a free membership or unrestricted chat options if you decide to upgrade. Premium members can even send photos and videos through a private chat, so you can get into as many details as you wish!
