Hey Guys and Gals,

DON’T: Send silly spam back! (Unless you’re a really, really good friend.) It’s annoying and doesn’t help. ;)

Hey Guys,


Brad here–I talked to my bosses here at Cherry Blossoms and we all agreed that we need to do more to address our members’ concerns about major issues on our website and the world of internet dating in particular.
