Frequently asked questions

How will other members contact me? Can they see my e-mail address?

Other members cannot see your e-mail address.

If a member e-mails you through the directory, their message will be sent to you by our closed e-mail relay (in which our server sends the member's message directly to the e-mail address we have for you in our database).

If you have a dating profile, and someone initiates contact through the dating service, then our server will e-mail you a notification that you have a message waiting for you in your dating service inbox.
