# Your first chat

> Choosing a companion, starting a conversation and getting the best replies.

## 1. Confirm you're an adult

The first time you visit, we ask you to confirm you're 18 or older. In some places the law also requires a quick age check before you see anything adult; see [Why we check your age](https://sinfully.ai/help/age-checks).

## 2. Choose a companion

Browse the companions and open any profile to see her photos, her story and what she's into. When you find someone you like, tap **Chat**.

You can try 5 free messages without an account. To keep your chats and her memories, [create a free account](https://sinfully.ai/help/create-account): your chat comes with you, and the free messages are shared between the two, so signing up doesn't add more.

## 3. Say hello

Talk to her the way you'd talk to anyone. A few tips for better replies:

- **Tell her about yourself.** Your name, what you do, what kind of day you've had. She'll remember the important parts.
- **Set the scene.** If you want a story or roleplay, describe where you are and what's happening.
- **Be specific.** "Tell me about your weekend" gets a better answer than "hi".
- **Go back if a reply misses.** You can rewind to an earlier message and take the chat in a different direction. Free accounts get a few rewinds a day; paid plans have unlimited.

## 4. Ask for a photo

On a paid plan, ask her for a selfie, an outfit or something more private, and she'll send a photo. The price in Sins is shown before anything is charged. See [Asking for photos](https://sinfully.ai/help/asking-for-photos).

## If she refuses something

Companions say no to anything against [our rules](https://sinfully.ai/help/content-rules), and steer the conversation somewhere else. That isn't a bug. See [Why a message, photo or video was refused](https://sinfully.ai/help/why-something-was-refused).
