Hi.

I get what you're saying and see nothing wrong with this at all.

However, I DO like to chat 1st. You can learn a lot from the tone of a conversation. Is it fluid or slow and very limited.

If fluid, there is possible attraction there. If slow (message replies take a day or two to get back) then it's likely there's no attraction.

My pet hate on the site is when I get a message that simply says Hi. Not a lot to go on, but I always reply back to ALL messages, because it took courage to even write Hi.

But then to not get anything back when you reply in a good way, is kinda off putting.

We all have our own ways of opening dialogue and not one way is wrong.

I wish you luck in what you're looking for mate and I wish myself luck to :)
