Give me all the wisdom

If you're going to use this site and put yourself through a potential long distance relationship, for the love of everything don't ignore your SO. I know it's not always easy to find things to talk about every day beyond the basic "hello, how was your day?" But make the effort to talk with them on discord, phone, and video if you can. Maybe make plans down the line to visit each other. And please all you horndogs out there, for the love of everything, stop scaring off any girl who joins the site and might show a shred of actually wanting a relationship. If you're talking about anything sexual related within even the first 48 hours of saying hi and getting to know someone, you're already doing it wrong unless they're the ones that bring up the subject first. The fact that several girls I've talked to on here over time that get inundated with a deluge of messages from what they call "creeps" right after they join tells me a lot of guys on here have the tact of snails when it comes to talking with girls. Please mellow the fuck out and stop ruining it for the guys who might actually be trying to find something worthwhile on here. http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/44.gif

Sad reality: Before I even get to the stage where I can flirt, the girl has already left this site for good thanks to the creeps

Honestly preach, I've thought of leaving so many times because someone is sexualizing me before getting to know me. I'm more than just a female who is pretty, all of us females on here are.
