This method provides pre-populated questions that you can send to a match to start to get to know them such as ‘If you decided to stay at home for the evening would you tend to: A) Watch TV B) Clean C) Talk on the Phone D) Read. After three rounds of going back and forth with your match on questions that get deeper as they go, you can choose to move to email communcation and send free text to your match.
