Messaging

While viewing another member’s profile, click on the message (envelope) icon next to their profile photo. Enter your message in the text box provided and then click send. If they are currently online, you can send them an invitation to chat by clicking ‘Chat Now’ under their profile photo.

The easiest way is to click on ‘Email’ on the navigation bar, which will take you to the messages you received. Remember, you will need to be a subscriber to reply.

The best way to ensure your message displays correctly when the recipient reads it is to type it directly into the message box provided. However, if you want to use another program (e.g., Microsoft Word), do not copy and paste the text you have prepared directly into the message box, as this can cause problems with how the message is displayed once it has been sent. As an alternative, we recommend you write your message using a plain text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac). If you insist on using a Microsoft Office application such as Word, you need to export your final copy as a plain text file using the following steps: File -> Save As: Set the ‘Save as type’ dropdown to ‘Plain Text (*.txt)’ > Click Save > In the File Conversion dialog box, select the ‘Other encoding’ radio button > Select ‘Western European (ISO)’ encoding (depending on the written language) > Tick the ‘Allow character substitution’ checkbox and inspect the preview pane > Click OK to save the file. If you follow this method, Word converts any ‘smart’ characters back to standard ones. However, you must proof check the resultant file to see that Word handled this process correctly. Once done, you can copy your text from the .txt file and paste it directly into the message box.

No, you will receive messages even if you are not a subscriber. However, you will need to be a subscriber to view the messages and reply.

‘Read’ or ‘Unread’ will display when you go to your Email Outbox.

We have the ‘Garbage Icon’ to delete messages permanently. Use the ‘Trash Box’ option under emails to remove or hide messages you no longer want in your inbox.

Initiating a conversation is a great way to get to know someone. Start by sending a friendly greeting or a message that references something from their profile that caught your attention. Being polite, genuine, and respectful in your approach can help establish a positive connection.

A good way to start a conversation is by referencing something in the person's profile that caught your attention. For example, you could comment on a shared interest or ask a question related to their hobbies. Being polite, friendly, and genuine in your approach can help create a positive impression.

It's common for conversations to naturally fade on dating platforms. If someone stops responding, it may not necessarily reflect on you. You can send a polite follow-up message or simply continue engaging with other members. Don't take it personally, as there are many factors that can influence communication.

To keep a conversation engaging, ask open-ended questions that encourage the other person to share more about themselves. Share your own experiences and interests, and show genuine interest in what the other person has to say. Humor and light-heartedness can also add charm to your interactions.
