(Q1) When you register with us, we send you a confirmation letter to your email address which you provided during registration for you to click on a link to verify the email address you provided and to activate your account before you can fully use the service.

You may ask why we have to do this. We do this to protect our members. Well, there are a lot of robotic softwares out there that some companies use to register on busy websites such as ours to send messages to the members for their own business advertisement. This can be very annoying and very upsetting when you receive a mail and it is not a mail you may have been expecting in your inbox.

This kind of robotic registrations, sometimes have serious consequencies on the members since they can also pick important informations on members for promotional use or even fraud. At Awarepa! members are relaxed because we are in control and very serious about their safety.

I have been sending messages to memebers but don't get any reply, why?

(Q2) Members who provide pictures of themselves get a lot of hits and prompt replies. You must try to have a picture uploaded to your page so that when people you have sent messages to, visit your page, they will know who they are communicating with. Many people who are really serious do not even bother to reply messages from members who do not have pictures of themselves on their pages.

Secondly, you are not receiving any reply perhaps you do not have enough information about yourself on your page. Know that 95% of the people you send messages to, will visit your page to see who you are, where you are from and whatever you have said about yourself. You must create a profile that will make people to like to know who you are. Not a long tail of stories that will make people bored reading but something of interest such as; your future dreams, education, plans and values.

(Q5) If you see someone that you would like to have as a friend or get to know your compatibility with the person, you can send a message to the person and if the person also has the same interest, he/she may choose to reply to you. We strongly advise you not to give your number, address or personal information to someone you just met on the internet, for your own safety.

Dating is not to encourage imoral conduct. Dating is just a way to meet people that you may want to get to know if they belong to the personalities of persons you may want to build a relationship with. If you are a woman, we strongly advise you not to get too low and get in bed with someone you are just dating. Respect yourself and your dignity as a woman. For the sake of the unknown future and the sake of your children show maturity in all you do and keep yourself pure untill God gives you someone you will be proud to call a husband. Never, never and never send your naked picture to someone. It may come back to hunt you in the future. Make this an opportunity to get to know others but be wise in everything you do.

If you are a man seeking someone too, this is not an opportunity to look for sex partners. Remember, you will reap what you sow. Respect the one who has chosen to be your friend and you will be blessed. Be a blessing to someone and someone will be a blessing to you as well.

I am a Christian/muslim. Is dating good for me?

(Q6) We made this service available to people who are truely looking for someone to share their lives with in marriage. People whose last option seems gone and truelly seeking for a true life partner.Dating can be very bad if misinterpreted . It is a time to know a person and to have the opportunity to reason with yourself and the friendship if you are compatible with the person. It is a time to ask yourself deeper questions if you truely believe the person will be a good husband or a wife in the future.

Remember, you are making a decision for your children as who they should call a mother or a father. It is not only about who you love.Many have chosen this decision wrongly and many children have suffered because of the choices their mother or father chose in the name of "love". It is a time to investigate if the person is the right person you dream to have as a husband or a wife.

You should avoid any sexual encounters. If the person insist to go further than just allowing you to get to know him, then you must know that all he wants is just pleasure of flesh and throw you away later. You must hold on to your faith.

Avoid talking about sexual issues. If that is all he has then know why he wants to be your friend. In all things you must protect yourself from being fooled by someone who may pretend as the right person. Avoid having sexual encounter untill marriage.

Many research prove that women who truthfully dedicate their lives in purity before marriage, even if the marriage does not succeed brings up great leaders, learners and most powerful offspring. The results are that over 97% of those women even if failed to succeed in life, builds a family that great leaders and learners descend from. Be a blessing to your children and your offspring. You must not allow anything to interrupt you and your God / Allah . It is He the living God who gives at the appropriate time.

Be fair and open to someone who is sincerely trying to get to know if both of you have something in common. But be wise because there are many others who are also just looking for the pleasure of you and then throw you away after they have got all they wanted.

Be wise and let the word of God lead you and guide your path. You will never fail ! Do not do things your own way. If you know in your heart that, there is a possibility that both of you may end up as married couple, then do all you can to protect the friendship but avoid sexual contacts. Avoiding going in bed with the person will end you a respect if the relationship goes further into marriage.

If the relationship will end because you are not given in to sexual demands before marriage, then know that it won't end up in marriage even if you do. There is a great difference between Love and Lust. Love sees through the heart to perfection and how good it can give but lust sees through the pleasures of the flesh to satisfy itself. Seek love but not lust.

Anything can happen even in marriage. Sickness can come, problems may arise, a man who will end a friendship for the reason that you didnt agree to have sex with while you are just dating, will betray you even in marriage.Keep yourself clean and the Living God who covered Adam and Eve from seeing nakedness, will surely put a protective shield around you as well. No matter what happens, do not let a pleasure that won't last for even an hour take away your life long blessing. Never, never, never send your naked picture to anyone! You may be the next first lady in your country or a prominent member in your coommunity. It will come back to hunt you in your days when you least expect. The future may not be that long.

Vain promises and deception are the main reasons many women are also suffering today from barreness, diseases and pain. Many would have been blessed but due to immoral conduct and such reasons above has caused many women to be the least among those they started life with. Be sincere and truthful in all you do. We must all try to confront our wrongul past with sincerity and regretful hearts to correct our future.

I am sharing this life experience with you. It has nothing to do with my believe as a Christian. We may have our different faces but causes of our pain and misfortunes are the same. If you are a woman, be a blessing to others and not a curse. It may come back to hunt you later in life. Did you ever ask yourself why that beautiful woman has been struggling to get married but that ugly girl is so blessed with a happy marriage? There are things we do that drive our destiny and bring about misfortunes in life.

If you can answer that question, then answer my question here for me, why is it that muslim women who truely live their lives as muslim women and cover their nakedness as far as they can seem to be more happier in life and more successful in their endeavours although with little " freedom" ?

If you are a man and a believer, you also have to be very careful with the person you meet. There are many men who have falling prey to the things we do not see with our naked eyes. Any cheap thing comes with a hidden price. Be wise and sincere in all things. Avoid vain promises. If you know in your heart, that you can not carry on a relationship with the person you have met, do not make promises, it will come back to hunt you later in life. The Bible says, the Lord God in Heaven despises and hates people who give vain promises. Do not let pleasure of the flesh that won't even last you an hour take away your life long blessing. Many men have suffered through this.

There are many men today whose lives are shattered but do not know why all the good things they plan to do in life end up with misfortune. Perhaps, you made a vow or a promise which you may have forgotten to keep.Be fair to everyone you meet.

Taking away the pride of a woman such as virginity and later ignoring the person, has the tendancy to put your life upside down. You may not know the effect such a thing can cause in your life but any time the person remembers about her youthful misfortune with you in pain you may be hit spiritually and things will never go well.

You can correct this if you unknowingly caused such a pain to someone whose pride was her virginity by apologising to the person to correct any mistake you unknowingly commited no matter how many years ago it happened. It may be the cause of your misfortunes. You must confront the person truthfully and regretfully to apologise to her pain. Perhaps, that action you once took is the cause of her breaking marriage and trustAfter this truthful apology, the woman may confide in you once again but becareful never to translate that as a sign that she wants you. This is common among women but in their minds, it has nothing to do with lust or love it is purely friendhip with truth and the need to have someone to talk to.

There have been many reasons great men fall from grace to disgrace but the most prominent reason is women. Women are the most greatest gift and the most wonderful gift God used to crown His beautiful creation. Women are precious but can cause you a great misfortune and a disaster if not handled with care. Be wise in all you do and take very good care if you have been blessed with one. Do not let the pleasure of life that wouldn't even last you an hour take away your life long blessing. The future may not be that long.

The country is known as the mother country of all the black nations of the earth. Peace and harmony is the slogan. Hospitality and love is the description of the people of Ghana. Very friendly people but hard work is what people know Ghanaians to be.
