With regards to pay sites, some people are confused as to what's free and what actually costs money. Here's how it works. Receiving messages is free. If someone likes your profile and wants to send you a message, they will have to pay. You won't have to pay to get their message. You can also reply to any messages sent to you for free. Basically as long as one of you has subscribed to the site that is good enough. So that is one reason why it is important to have a good profile, you get more freebies that way.
Some dating sites have a feature that lets someone know that you are interested in them, without actually having to subscribe to the site. Each site has a different name, it might be called 'Send this person a wink', 'Send this person an icebreaker', 'Flirt with this person for free', or something along those lines. Feel free to use this feature, but unless you have a really amazing profile and nice looking pictures, don't expect them to pay just to send you a message. If you are really wanting to talk to them, spend the money to subscribe. Take the initiative. You don't want to look like a cheapskate to someone right off the bat. This is your first impression after all, make it a good one.
