Hi Janice. My apologies, but if you are indeed remote this does make things challenging for potentials on any dating site. Many people do have their preferences as to the radius for people of interest. There is an option to denote "penpals" as part of your criteria (other options including short/long term dating, new friends, etc.), but not everyone will be open to this. I was briefly seeing someone on this site that required me to travel a good distance (and pay an expensive bridge toll each time) and this made visits difficult (the person never wanted to come over to my side, so this was even more discouraging). Another person I bonded very well and we Skyped even, albeit she was overseas in the Phillipines (I'm in the United States).

As to the questions you have the flexibility to answer the ones you're comfortable with and there is an option to create your own questions as well. However, as mentioned by others the more questions you answer the possible better chance you have on finding a match more resemblance to what you might be looking for. The exception to this is people are looking for mismatches or opposites of them (I read one person's profile encouraging to meet people who had a high "enemy" rating with her).

I'm sure there are a number of people who lie on this site as any other online medium, but I believe the majority of members are genuinely interested in pursuing romance on the site too. Maturity level and how they interact with people are another matter. I was one of the people in the beginning like many other males who were discouraged by the low response rate, but after awhile I took this with a grain of salt and just moved on. This was not until somewhat recently when I experienced my 2nd live encounter did I realize how women can in particular be bombarded by so many messages they do not have time to answer everyone (my date in this circumstance was getting an average 80 messages a day).

Actually, I'm sounding extremely discouraging. Just note dating sites like many other mediums are a game of chance. Try to not get discouraged in the beginning and keep a positive attitude. A terrible thing you don't want to do is resign yourself or carry a negative attitude as this will scare away potentials.
