To Wink or Not??

I am so confused. Ok, so I have been OLD for 2 weeks and I have gotten so many different opinions on women winking. Some say I should never wink, others say I should. Is there some rule I do not know about? I know the whole chase thing for a guy, but I have friend that married someone she met though OLD and she had to make the first move. She said he was shy and never made contact unless a girl did first. I would love to hear what some of you out there think.

Thanks
Wendy

There's nothing wrong with sending a wink to a guy you're interested in.

I don't see anything wrong with a woman winking. Saves time, you know? I don't have a lot of patience...

I generally like to wink at a guy I'm interested in because, who knows, he may have never seen my profile before. Besides that, sometimes one person being interested will inspire the other. I don't think it's as much about expressing interest as it's a problem if the woman seems impatient. A lot of guys will run from that.

Well, last month I winked at a guy on match. He wrote me back, we started talking on the phone and we are now a couple! We get along so good and the chemistry is amazing! We both took our profiles down and are enjoying getting to know each other.
So, you just never know. Why sit there and hope the ones you are interested in will wink or email you? I never emailed anybody, just winked.

Thanks for your help. I am happy to hear that you have found someone you are having fun with. I was thinking the same thing. I mean why should I not try, isn't that why we are all online. Plus if I guy does not want to get to know me because I winked first, then I guess that is guy I really don't want to get to know. Thanks
