How do I send a message to someone I like?
To send a message another GirlsDateForFree member,
click on their photo or screenname.
This will take you to their
profile.
You'll then see a box at the bottom of the profile entitled
'Email'.
Simply type what you want to say in the box and click on the
red button labelled 'Send'.
How do I read my incoming messages?
To read your mail, click on 'Messages' in the blue
menu bar at the top of the screen.
This will take you to your inbox
where you can view a list of your messages, starting with the most
recent.
To open and read the message, simply click on the message
subject line.
Alternatively if you've opted to have email alerts, we'll
send an email to your registered address every time you have a new
message, simply click on the link in this email (or paste it into your
browser's address bar) to go directly to the message.
If you don't want
receive these alerts click on ' My Account' scroll down to the Alerts and Opt-ins section. From there you
can view a list of everything you have opted in or out of and you can
amend them where necessary.
What's this 'FastFlirt' thing all about?
It's a great matchmaking tool. Once a week, you get
the chance to send a FastFlirt message.
This is a bulk mailing
that goes out to around 100 members chosen according to your default
search criteria.
FastFlirts are a great way to find potential dates and
to make yourself known within our dating site.
I got an email saying I had a message, when I went to the site the message had disappeared. What's going on?
This person may have deleted their profile or been
deleted from the site.
If someone deletes their profile all the
messages they sent or that were sent to them are also deleted.
This is
done to ensure privacy for people who wish to leave the site.
I sent a message and now I want to cancel it, how can I do that?
Unfortunately it is not possible to retrieve a message once it has been sent.
I deleted a message by accident and now I want it back
If you sent your message to the Bin or Archive folder they will remain there for you to access until you empty the folders. Once you empty your folders, you will not be able to retrieve your messages.
I want to stop receiving email alerts when I have new messages.
Simply click on My Account, scroll down to the section called Alerts and Opt-Ins and check No next to the New Message emails option.
Someone sent me an offensive message, what do I do?
Above the message you will see a button entitled
'Offensive?'. Click on this and you can send the message to our customer
service team for investigation.
Unless it's really obvious why the
message is offensive, please also explain why you thought so in the box
provided.
How can I stop another member from sending me messages?
If you really object to someone on the site and
decide you never want to hear from them again, you can block them from
sending you any further messages using our block facility.
At the
bottom of the members' profile, you'll see a link that reads 'Block this
person'.
Click on this link and you'll arrive at a page where you can
decide whether to block them completely or not.
If you block another
member you will be completely hidden from them, they won't be able to view
your profile, view any previous messages between you, see you in search
results or contact you.
