Try a few different approaches and learn what works best.Do not send one or two word messages like, 'hi', 'how r u'. You need to send a messages that gives the other person a reason to reply. If you get it right you can get a reply rate between 60% to 100%. Get it wrong and your rate will be less than 5%.

Is your technology working? We always recommend chatting to people with the dating site as it's much safer but at some stage you will likely leave it when you are comfortable with someone you have been chatting with. You may chat on the phone, via webcam or Skype / iMessage. So make sure you have all the apps you need installed and working on your phone. If you already have them make sure you know the passwords to login to them! If you have any tech failures, now is the time to get them fixed. If you need mobile phone credit then get it topped up.If you want to chat online without giving away any personal information then you may like to consider the anonymous chat system talk.chat. You can create your own room and share the link with one or more people. It doesn't need a username or password, therefore making it very easy to chat at a moments notice.
