I've only been on Lavalife for a short time, but to this point, what a waste of time. The instant messaging service seems to be nothing more than a way of enticing you to use up your credits.

Some 3 or 4 times so far, I have opened conversations with people that seem to match me, to virtually be ignored. If people don't wish to speak to you, why should you have to pay the credits ? You should only pay when an actual conversation occurs, not when someone says "hello", and thats the whole of the conversation for 10 minutes!

I hope it improves, or I may as well just go back to IRC.
