General
Are women on this site real? Are they models? They look too beautiful.
Yes, they are real. We are proud to have the most beautiful and gorgeous ladies Asia has to offer. We only offer the best. We work hard to keep our database clean from bogus profiles. Look for the icon "Confirmed Profile" on the lady's personal page - it means our representative personally interviewed the lady and confirmed her identity. The reason why the women in our agency look so beautiful is that they make a special effort to look good. This is normal for women from the Asia. They take pride in their appearance and enjoy looking their best.
What does the "Level of English" mean?
The level of English indicates the lady's ability to communicate in English. It includes both spoken and
written English. Note, that lady's language ability can be enhanced through our private language lessons.
Here is the helpful chart for your lady's ability to communicate at the given moment in time.
Beginner's level - very limited language ability, needs almost all text and words translated.
Intermediate level - understands simple English, need complex words and sentences translated.
Almost Fluent level - good level of language proficiency, needs little help with complex words and letters.
Expert level - fluent, understands, writes without any feasible difficulty.
Please do not be discouraged with somebody's level because most of our ladies are very smart, hence, they need much less time to learn the language. Try to always give a lady a chance to make it work.
Someone on the website asked for money, should I send it?
You should NEVER send money to anyone. Please contact administration as soon as possible if anyone asks for money, gifts outside this website or any other material things. This website has zero tolerance towards such a behavior by any member.

Exchanging phone numbers/contact info
Can I include my personal contact information in my email, photos or chat messages?
Due to the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005, male members are prohibited from direct exchange of their personal contact information through the services of any site. However, we created a system that allows you to exchange contact information and go on a tour to meet your lady with a help of our website.
How can I get lady's contact information if our relationship is serious?
To be eligible to request contact information from the lady members, Silver, Gold or Platinum members who have retained the paid membership for 3 consecutive months or more must have at least acquired 600 credits to obtain contact information.
Silver, Gold or Platinum members who have been paid members less than 3 consecutive months need to acquire 950 credits to request contact information.
Once you are eligible to receive a lady's contact information, if you live in the USA, you need to complete a disclosure statement located on the Account Options page, required by International Marriage Broker Regulation Act. A translated copy of this form will then need to be signed by your lady. For members who reside counties other than USA, the request goes straight to the lady for her decision on the release of her personal information.
There will be an administrative fee of 100 credits for this paperwork performed by our independent local representative. For countries other than USA the fee will be 60 credits. The fee will be deducted from your account when you submit a request for contact information.

Silver, Gold or Platinum members who have been paid members less than 3 consecutive months need to acquire 950 credits to request contact information. This is not the cost of obtaining contact information. Rather, acquiring these credits is a qualification requirement prior to requesting contact information. The processing costs for contact information requests is 100 credits for US members (due to the disclosure statement required by US law that must be processed) and 60 credits for non-US residents.

Starting a relationship
How does my relationship with a Asian lady usually work?
The process in short includes selecting which members you would like to correspond with. Once you have done so, you can communicate via email or Chat. Once you have found that you are really interested in that individual, you then request her contact information so you can communicate on the phone. And once you are ready to meet her, contact us for travel tour arrangements. When you have visited her in Asia and decide you would like to marry her, you then would acquire a visa for her and make arrangements to bring her to your country.

When I type in Live Chat, it's really slow and some letters get dropped if I type too fast. Can you help?
Users with Internet Explorer 7.0 browser, Adobe Flash, and Microsoft Windows Vista have been known to experience very slow typing in Live Chat.
To fix this issue, do the following:
- Go to My Computer in the Start Menu.
- In the address bar, type: C:\Windows\System32\macromed\flash
- You will see a file called FlashUtil9d.exe (or possibly FlashUtil9c.exe; it depends on your version).

Corresponding with the lady member
How do I contact the ladies I like on your website?
First, you will have to sign up for any membership which will allow you to communicate with the ladies through our site's messaging system as well as write them directly using credits. Also you can use our Live Video Chat and Live Video Streaming features for the best results.
How do I send an email to a lady?
Generally, you have to become a member of Olivia Date. Then, for most membership levels you can send an introductory letter or purchase credits.
Why can't I read incoming messages from the ladies?
In order to read incoming messages from the ladies, a gentleman has to sign up for a Free Trial or purchase Gold or Platinum membership. A person can also buy credits and use them to open and read incoming messages. There might be a confusion between completing a personal profile and getting a Free Trial. Completing a profile is step 2 out a 3-step process of receiving a Free Trial. Once you complete your profile, you need to click on the "Free Trial" button to receive a Free 3-Day Trial on our site. You can now open and read all incoming letters absolutely free.
Am I assured a response from the person I selected to write or call?
No. Unfortunately we, or anybody else, can not guarantee the response from anybody. Writing that, bear in mind, that we will help a gentleman to get the response, but we can not force anyone to answer if he or she does not want to. As a matter of fact, the entire relationship is not guaranteed even after you get married to a Asian woman because it is completely out of our control. We sincerely hope that 100 percent of the relationships will work, but we have to deal with the reality. We truly hope yours will work. Your happiness is our highest purpose!
What is an introductory letter?
Introductory letter is the first letter you write to a particular lady you like in order to see if she likes you and responds back to you. For example Silver membership gives you 10 introductory letters per month. You will need to have some follow up letters after introductory letters. Platinum members have follow up letters incorporated into their membership.
What is a follow up letter?
Follow up letter is any letter after initial introductory letter send to the same lady to facilitate further correspondence and further develop a relationship. Platinum members have follow up letter incorporated in their membership. Other members have to buy credits to use follow up emails.
