Q:
Will I really meet the person of my dreams this way?
Anything is possible. Be open-minded and set no
expectations. When you write your personal description, be sincere
and honest. People can detect phonies. Choose a flattering
picture. Lastly, be flexible. Trying to find someone who is a
"perfect" match is close to impossible. Differences can
sometimes make people more attractive to one and other.

Q:
After someone has contacted me, what should I do?
First, to help maintain your privacy, we
strongly recommend that you maintain a web-based email address
with one of the free services such as Hotmail or Yahoo.
Second, when you respond to an introduction, be cordial and polite.
Always thank
the other person for their interest. Try to determine similar
interests, and if you can detect sincerity on their part, then you may decide to
exchange photos.
Never give out your email address, or phone number or
street address with the first email. If
the other person is local, meet on neutral ground for a
non-threatening cup of coffee or brunch. If you hit it off,
consider a follow-up meeting. Take things slow. Never rush into a
relationship. Give it time to develop on its own.
If you decide to take some time to get to know
this person and do not want to meet others during this period, we
ask you to temporarily deactivate your account (within the
Members Area). This will remove your profile and photo from our
search engine, and will avoid other people spending their money to
send you an email when you are unavailable to pursue other
introductions. You may always reactivate your account in the
future.
If the introductory email you receive is not of
interest to you, then send a polite "rejection" note.
Remember, the person sending you the email has carefully selected
you from our database, and has paid a small fee to introduce
themselves. They have made both an emotional and financial
investment. Put yourself in their shoes, and respond politely and
with dignity. It is perfectly acceptable to say that you have
decided not to pursue any relationships for a brief period of
time, or to say you have recently met someone. Be grateful for
their interest and wish them luck.
In the event you feel the person contacting you
has ulterior motives, or you feel threatened by them, please notify
us immediately and your local authorities. We will assist
wherever possible.
