1. A method of communication implemented by a dating network, comprising steps of:

  • requesting to communicate with a target user belonging to the dating network, where a user verification function verifies whether a requesting user can freely communicate with the target user;

    providing to the requesting user at least one preset message to choose from to post to the target user, where the user verification function does not permit the requesting user to freely communicate with the target user;

    verifying whether an account of the requesting user has sufficient funds to cover costs associated with posting a preset message to the target user, where if the account does not have sufficient funds a message posting function will not post the preset message to the target user, and where if the account does have sufficient funds the message posting function will post the preset message to the target user;

    deducting funds from the account of the requesting user, where the message posting function posts the preset message to the target user; and

    refunding the account of the requesting user, where there is a request for a refund.
