The parts of singles sites living I keep getting stuck on:

• Message within a day of matching — on singles sites living that window closes fast
• Give singles sites living a fortnight of daily use before calling the time it costs a dealbreaker
• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the singles sites living pool near you is thin
• Check what singles sites living does about the hours-to-dates ratio before you upload anything you would not want indexed
