What are you searching for?
We have launched a Search Survey to better understand how our members prefer to search. If you have a few minutes, we would love to hear your honest feedback to help improve Search on RSVP!
We would like to know what your search style is!
When it comes to searching for members on RSVP, how do you go about it? Are you quite particular in your search, choosing a Full Search and taking your time to comb through every little detail from the start? Or, are you quite open to what you may stumble upon, preferring to start a little vague and refine as you go? What are your thoughts on searching with Keywords - what type of things would you search for?
What are the main things you look to find with a search and do the results make sense? What search criteria do you find critical? Which criteria do you often ignore?
We'd love to hear everything about how you search, how often, and how successful you are in obtaining results? What changes can RSVP make to help you achieve better results faster?

Comments (374)"The only one who should have to pay for a bad relationship is the person in your next relationship."
Damn! You just met a really cool person but realized she had just come out of a painful break-up so you quickly realize that if you decide to walk down that road you are going to end up being the rebound guy. A situation that very few people feel comfortable with. The last thing you want is to be her fall guy. Or do you? What if you are a woman and just realised that the guy you met is on a rebound?
Is the rebound person always used to get revenge? Is it true that the only person that should pay for a bad relationship is the person in your next relationship?

Comments (248)When do you draw the line on pursuing a relationship?
Imagine that your best buddy introduces you to one of his sizzling acquaintances. After chitchatting with her for a few moments, you quickly realize that she might be the woman who encompasses everything you look for in a relationship. But before you can develop your magic, she throws a wrench into your plans by mentioning that she has a boyfriend. So what do you do? Do you pursue and try to get her to agree to go on a date with you?
What about if she is married? Would it make the situation worse? Is coming between a married couple a no-no? Is this the same situation for guys and gals?

Comments (200)Can You Be Friends with Your Ex?
"I still want to be friends". "We are better as friends than lovers". Those words are the kiss of death in many relationships.
Let's first look at the break up. Are you done breaking it off? Do either of you have unresolved anger towards the other?
Is wanting to be friends now a subconscious excuse to be around this person on the hope that you'll get back together? Does this friendship always become friends with benefits?
What if you start seeing somebody else, is it fair to the new person that you remain friends with your ex?

Comments (297)How dangerous is an open heart?
Opening up is very hard for a lot of people especially the ones who have been hurt in the past. As a friend of mine always said "Hurt me once shame on you" "Hurt me twice shame on me". So why are people so cautious when it comes down to relationships? Do you think that a person who keeps their heart open at all times is asking for trouble?
Do people deliberately hurt other people or is getting hurt part of relationships?
Does someone always get hurt when a relationship ends? Is it possible for a relationship to end with no broken hearts or is a broken heart part of ending a relationship?

Comments (407)Intuition... How good is yours?
Intuition is vital when it comes down to online dating... Is it a traffic light or just little voices in the back of your mind which are easily ignored?
How can you improve it and use it to your advantage? Have you ever met another single on RSVP that your intuition was right or wrong from the beginning? What happened, was it a good or a bad sign?

Comments (354)Have we become romance intolerant?
I have travelled to many places and watched many types of human behaviour on the streets, in bars and restaurants... and have noticed that romantic behaviour changes a lot from place to place. In Brazil it is perfectly normal to make out in bars, but in Australia this is not such a good idea. In New York, people don't even touch each other and in some Middle East countries, men and women are not even allowed to talk unless they are married.
Are we becoming romance intolerant?
Is it really upsetting to see couples being affectionate in public? Are you affectionate in public? Have you ever experienced those dirty looks? What's acceptable for most people standards?

Comments (329)What is cheating?
Obviously cheating is about being dishonest. And equally as obviously, if you ASK someone if they have been dishonest and they ARE dishonest, they are likely to lie.
It is nearly impossible to find out for sure "exactly how many people cheat". If you were "DATING" your next door neighbour when you were 13, and then kissed another girl/boy playing spin-the-bottle, was that CHEATING? Are you now marked for life? What if you are now 40 and true to your wife/ husband of 20 years? Are you still known as "SOMEONE WHO CHEATED"? When do you cross the line from being faithful to being a cheater? Is flirting considerate cheating? Is going out for drinks with someone you just met cheating? So, What is cheating?
