after reading a number of the comments on here i feel like putting my 2 cents in first of all take lava for what it is...a medium through which you MAY meet someone..i don't believe i read any promises anywhere on the site secondly, there are good people there, but like actual "real" life it does take effort to find them... and being angry and bitter about "fake" profiles and unreturned smiles? grow up and move on..it happens to everyone all the time you either make the decision to spend the credits or you don't...and it is cheaper than a night out (at least in Toronto) and if i don't respond? it usually means i'm not interested and i have learned that responding even nicely only encourages the conversation i'm trying to avoid or maybe i'm busy..or tired...or just not paying as much attention as i should or maybe my kitchen just caught fire either way...i've met some wonderful people and some wonderfully strange people dated some,befriended others, and some i would cross the street to avoid but i always try to play nice...perhaps that's the secret
