Hey, some advice please. What is the best way to approach someone on here.
I have had a few people follow me with no previous interaction, and then no further contact - am I supposed to DM them?
I have had a couple of random DMs, which I have to admit it was nice to get a message.

Is there a preferred way, or do you reply on people saying on their profile what they prefer?

Yes, the strange ones, just say, hi, from nowhere. You look at their profiles and there is nothing.

The oddest one sent me a gift within ten minutes of me joining. Then bemoaned I did not thank her.
Later in the week she blocked me.

A couple objected to my looking at their posts. That’s weird.

I tend to reply to posts, I see.

@sunriselover I guess it takes allsorts
@aloneinUK I’ve had a quick flick at the replies you have had. All are genuine I think, except for one guy posing as a woman! Watch out for those.

@sunriselover Yes, I gathered that might be the case. I will keep an eye out
