Q:What happens when I Block someone?
Answer
When you block someone, they will no longer be able to send you Mails and eCards. If they try to send you a Message or eCard they will get a sign that they have been blocked – so they will know you don’t appreciate what they have previously sent.
The Mail and eCards they previously sent you will still remain, but you can delete them if you want.
They can still view your profile and send you a "Like". But each member can only send ONE Like, so they can only do this once.

Q:Why am I not getting any responses?
Answer
Please check your
Block Settings to see if you have restricted them too much. We've been seeing that many people are blocking all ages except for a very small few (like 34-35 for example). That can really restrict who can write to you.

Q:I am not getting responses to the mail I sent. My mail is not being opened. What is wrong?
Answer
First, Please check your
Block Settings to see if you have restricted them too much. We've been seeing that many people are blocking all ages except for a very small few (like 34-35 for example). That can really restrict who can write to you.
We notify members when they receive onsite mail. If they have provided a valid email address, they will receive those notices; if not, they won't get the notices and it may be longer until they return to the site and see what you have sent. It is their choice to login and check their mail, and it is their choice whether or not to open or respond. We have no control over any of this.
If you are not willing to wait for a response, send mail only to members whose last activity date is recent.
If a member does not open or respond to your mail, they may not have time to answer, they may be receiving too much mail already, they may be corresponding with someone special already, or they may just not be interested in your profile. Find someone else to write to...
It takes a lot of time and patience to find someone special. Don't give up. There is someone out there for you. That person may join tomorrow.
In the meantime, give members a reason to write to you. Help others get to know you. Add positive, upbeat info to your narratives about yourself, describe more about what you are seeking in your match, add some new photos, fill out the extended profile. Also, check out the
Forums area of the site. Many members have a lot of fun meeting and talking there while waiting to meet ‘the one’.
Add a blog about your thoughts or experiences to let others know more about you and possibly attract someone who feels the same (note that a blog is a journal - not a personal ad).
Use site features to bring more attention to your profile and mail to your inbox.
