Use your Contact List to keep track of members that interest you or that you correspond with frequently.

You can also set up limits on who can contact you, such as certain age ranges and single statuses.

For members with the Option Pack, you can also arrange for a one-on-one private chat with a friend who also has you on their Contact List, as well as send a text message to your friend's phone.

Sending a message by cell phone is private and secure in that they only ever see your first name and member ID; no one ever gets your cell phone number.  You can also respond to a text message you receive directly back to your friend's cell phone without being on the website!
