Communicating with others

I'm a big fan of open and honest communication, as well as safety when interacting with people online. I don't believe in wasting time, however. I've got several pictures posted for all to see, and I'd appreciate it if you did the same. If you are shy about posting your pictures publicly for whatever reason that's fine. But if you're unwilling to share them with me privately, we're not going to get anywhere. Like it or not, a portion of attraction is physical.

I'd also like to get to know prospective partners quickly yet safely. Once we've met HotMatch.com's two email exchange minimum, I'd much prefer talking on the phone and then going for a cup of coffee to see if we click. I'm not a huge fan of IMing or extended emailing. I have no problem giving you my phone number and letting you call me, but I generally let my machine answer unless my caller ID tells me who's calling. If you'd rather I call you, that's fine too. This process is built on trust, so it has to go both ways. I don't mind making the first step in most instances, but I'm also not going to be foolish about it.

I welcome all comments. I'm by no means infallible and I may be totally missing something. This is simply my take on things as I perceive them. As far as initial contact goes, if I notice you've viewed me or put me in your hotlist, I'll email you if I'm interested. Thanks for taking the time to check out my post!
