Funky Love Match Dating Tips & Etiquette

Here are some great tips on how to get the best out of Online Dating.

How to get a better response from your ad

Put some time into considering what characteristics and traits you would like in a partner, and then write your ad to attract them.  Don't exaggerate or make up things about yourself, this will only remove any future trust and waste a whole load of time for everybody concerned

Sending and Responding to Ads

How many responses you receive can vary, and depends on your age, your locality and your interests. 

It is good manners to always respond to received emails, even if you have absolutely no interest in the person who has written to you.  Online Dating is not a place to mess around, if you're not interested, say so straight away, and you can do this nicely.  "Thanks for taking the trouble to contact me, but I've checked out your profile and you're not for me.  I wish you lot's of luck in your searches."  Too easy! 

Our suggestion is that if you're serious about finding a friends, don't wait for them to come to you.  Invest in a Gold Membership (the equivalent of a couple of visits to the movies a month!) and start searching profiles to communicate today. 

Success equals action ... and it's great fun too!

Play It Safe

Never give out your personal information until you are sure it is safe to do so, and never be pressured into the same.  Take advantage of our safe and anonymous voice chat and anonymous telephone facilities.  Don't hesitate to email MadamSplash about any weird folk you meet through Funky Love Match!

If you are at anytime uncomfortable with where a communication is heading, you can block the offender online.

The First Meeting

Sometimes people we communicate with on the internet can sound so divine ... until that first meeting, and ugh! everything suddenly changes.  Agree before the meeting to check each other out first, before going out on a real date, and also agree beforehand, that if one of you is not interested to continue that's OK .. no questions asked. 

"Mind you, sometimes first impressions can also be wrong.  I can recall the last time I met a guy over coffee ... I can remember thinking "Man I'll find a way out of this one fast ..." but that was eight (8) years ago! *Grin*"  MadamSplash

Again play it safe!  Meet first for coffee in a public place, and make sure you tell someone where you are going - ideally have your mobile phone with with you, and call someone to tell them you're safe!
