How to get a better Response from your ad, Placing an ad in our site is free; however, it shouldn't be done off the cuff.

Each ad should be well thought out and should reflect just what you are seeking. Be honest and straight-forward. Don't lie to the viewers and say who you are not, because someone looking for who you really are will miss you! Plus, it is a waste of time for you and everyone else using this service.

You are more than welcome to use your home or business e-mail address. It might be a good idea to get an anonymous free e-mail address. There are many email services out there which would work .

A picture is worth a thousand words.

The ads of people who submit pictures get approximately 12 times the hits of those without pictures. You do not have to submit a picture with your ad, but it might be worth consideration.

When you receive a response to your ad, it is either going to spark your interest or not interest you at all. Even if the e-mail doesn't light your fire, it is always common courtesy to send a response, even if it is to say "Thanks, but no thanks."

This person was interested enough in you to send you an e-mail. Take it as a compliment and e-mail back an acknowledgement that the e-mail was received. If the e-mail does light your fire, then have at it and enjoy!

Responding to an Ad

When you are searching the data base, you need to realize that not everyone will be responding and not everyone will be interested in whatever you have to offer. So it is a good idea to respond to more than one ad at once. There can be a certain feeling out process to make sure this is a right rendezvous for all parties. While it can work, don't go overboard with your first e-mail. Unless specifically asked, don't go into long tirades about what a good lover you are and what you will do to him/her/them when you meet.

Try and introduce yourself and let the advertisers know a little bit about you. Just as I say someone putting in an ad should submit a picture, so should you send a picture when you respond to the ad.

Once you receive a response to your e-mail, then it is time to start fleshing out things more. This may be time to talk on the phone to get a better feel for the person. Then, when you feel comfortable, it is time for the meeting. Meeting your Date

The first meeting is a big step. This should be fun, but also, safety is an issue. That is why most dating groups recommend that the initial meeting be at a public place and during the lunch hour or right after work. If things go well, you can arrange for an immediate, more intimate setting, or you can schedule one at a more convenient time and place.

Common Courtesy

This should be the norm, but unfortunately, sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. The first thing to remember is that NO MEANS NO. Just because you meet doesn't not mean that he/she/they have to like you and want to hop into the sack. Things may change after a face-to-face, so if the other party wants to break it off, do so. This is not a personal affront. Just smile, and go on to the next one. If you are invited to the other party's home, you are a guest. You don't live there.

Dress appropriate for the situation, bring a gift, don't put your feet up on the coffee table, etc., etc. Just because you are entering into a sexual encounter doesn't mean you have to be a clod. And good manners go along way in breaking through those initial first-time jitters. If you respect the other parties, just as you would at work or school, you will do fine, and you will never want for lack of new people. Word get around, and the fools suffer while the good ones are in high demand.
