HOW TO REPLY TO A PROFILE YOU FEEL MAY BE SUITABLE

Introduce Yourself !!  -  Taking the initiative may certainly bring it's own rewards! This service is totally free!!  By browsing personal photo-profiles placed by other singles on our site you may take the upper-hand by replying to any of the singles that you particularly fancy. You can also look for suitable single people in specific countries simply by using the Advanced Search feature provided. • Profile Reply Form: Each photo-profile has a special Reply link that takes you to an online reply form. This form allows you to enter your contact name, your email address, offer details about yourself and any other message that you would like to forward to the person in question. This information is then emailed directly to the advertiser, who will then reply to your letter to take things further - or not - as the case may be. TIP:  It is well worth remembering that a great many more people browse the site than do place their own personal photo-profiles. This means that for every profile that you respond to, so have dozens of other single people, giving the advertiser an advantage of a good selection of singles to choose from. By placing a profile of your own, you too will increase your chances of meeting your ideal partner - 300 times over!! • Making An Advance Search: When searching for an ideal partner, you may find that using the Advanced Search feature is very useful. This feature can be found on the profile menu bar and allows you to select the anything from type of relationship, gender categories, peoples age groups, view specific countries or towns, and many other options, including a selection of keywords or even the ability to view only profiles that have photographs! • First Impressions Count!! When replying to a profile-ad it is important to remember that the advertiser is looking for a specific type of person and that also receive interest from many other singles. So take a little time to think about what you wish to write, double check your spelling, and avoid sending messages that tell the recipient little or nothing about you and what you are looking for. "I'm single please contact me" is not going to cut it and will normally just get you a rejection letter - if you're lucky! Always be polite and try to keep your initial email brief and to the point, whilst offering as much relative information as they may need to make up their mind about you. Advertisers can receive dozens of replies daily, so don't expect them to have the time to read an entire essay about you. Offer to send them a photograph of yourself if you have one available. Tell them the country and town where you live and let them know about the type of relationship you are interested in pursuing. • Don't Get Carried Away! When you browse the profiles, it is often very tempting to reply to a number of profiles all at once. This is not the best thing to do as you may easily find several of these people could contact you with a view to a possible relationship. We therefore suggest you only contact one or two of the profiles that you feel are most suited to you and wait a couple of days for a reply. If your selection proves not to be a prefect match, simply try again. Replying to too may profiles simultaneously could leave you juggling several relationships at once - and cyberspace or not, this can be tricky and very unfair on all those involved. • Be Honest! Just as when you place your own profile, it is essential that you are honest in offering a description about yourself and what you are looking for in the other person. It is far too easy to "lose" a few pounds, drop a couple of years or to make yourself a little less bald than you may really be, but this is not going to help when it comes time to meet face to face, and will very often lead to instant mistrust. Your Perfect Partner is going to want YOU just as you are, otherwise they would not be perfect! - So don't "change" a thing! • Sending Your Photograph: Unless you are a Gold Club Member, you will need to contact singles via the online reply form. This means that you will not be able to send your photo with your initial contact. The advertiser is aware of this and will read what you have written to determine if you may be what they are looking for in a partner. Once they decide that they may wish to take things further, they will give you a direct email address so you may send them your photo and let them see what you look like. (Looks are not as important as you might think, but it is always nice to see what a potential partner looks like.) When you do email a photo, keep your images small - files sizes should never be over 100k and should always be either ".jpg" or a ".gif" format, so that they can view your picture in their email browser. Never send "zipped" files or expect anybody to open any type of word document or similar file. If you already have a personal website or a personal profile of your own on our singles boards, you may wish to tell them about this so they can read your full details and look at the photo of you on your advert. • Don't Push a Lost Cause: Allow the person you are writing to a few days to reply, and if they say "no" or do not reply, take another look at the many singles available on this site. Never contact the same person more than twice if you are not invited to do so, rather move on - your Perfect Partner is out there and you will find them! • Place Your Own Photo-Profile: If you find you are having trouble meeting anyone suitable, you should strongly consider placing your own personal profile. There are always a lot more single people reading profiles than placing them, so your chances of finding the perfect relationship will be hugely increased by taking this simple step. Replying to profiles is an extremely effective and popular option, however, don't forget that the person concerned may well receive dozens of such replies to their profile. - So if you truly want the "pick of the bunch" you'll also need to strongly consider placing a profile of your own and let people write to you!! • Your Personal Security: This website is here to help you locate new friends and find lifetime partners. It is however essential that you remember that contact with people via the Internet is not without risk, and it should never be accepted at face-value that the person you are communicating with is who they claim to be. We therefore suggest that you never give out too many intimate details and never give out any personal information. Should you arrange a meeting, always pick a public place and inform a friend of where you are going - or at least leave a note telling of your pending meeting and full details of the person you are meeting with and where. Whilst 99.9% of meetings are genuine, it always pays to be safe rather than sorry! ... But use your common-sense and this singles dating website will provide you with many great rewards. Have fun ... and we wish you all the best of luck with your matchmaking!! Perfect4partners reserves all rights.
