Hi, Solar, and welcome to the website,

Of course it's important, but I prefer to do stuff outdoors with first dates..a hike, a visit to a zoo or museum, etc. Too much talking annoys me.

By the way, you earn website points, and help other members get to know you better, when you write an informational profile that includes your hobbies and interests, and answer all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member.

Also, the website uses your profile to find member matches, so the more details you include, the better the match.

Then you make comments and write your own posts to earn more points and privileges; for instance, at level two you can private email people. You get different perks with each level, and when you reach level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

In case you don't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.

Isn't that why we are here? To have a conversation?

Start in the shallow end of the pool and work your way to the deeper waters.

Light at the beginning to feel them out and see if there's a connection. If so, then building towards deeper conversation as trust is established.

Absolutely essential!!

Entirely important.

I've heard a lot over the years. Actions are more telling than words.
