Responding to Personal Ads

So, you've received responses to your personal ad! Take some time to consider before you reply. Remember to approach them with an open mind. Don't immediately discard people who do not match your interests; remember the old saying, “opposites attract." Think of these offers as opportunities to learn something new. If something seems a little strange about someone's response, it's probably best to just be cautious. Overall, give the responses you receive the benefit of the doubt. Trust your instincts; in the end they will make the best relationship decisions for you.
