Some brief advice on using this site

1. Be positive about yourself without being boastful.
2. Select your photo well - try to smile! A good photo can make an immediate impression (so can a bad one)
3. When you exchange messages show an interest in the other person - don't just talk about yourself.
4. Be as honest as you can when completing your profile
5. Don't 'test' people by telling them all the 'bad' things first
6. If you do not want to continue communicating with someone - tell them. If they continue to send messages you can block them
7. We strongly advise you not to put any information in your profile that could allow others to know where you live, your phone number, or other personal information. When we process your application we may remove any such information.
8. When sending mesages to another person on the site we strongly recommend that you do not give out personal details such as your address or phone number until you have known the person for a while
9. We urge you to report any improper or offensive behaviour by using the special link on your home page
