5 Guidelines To Look For In A Free Online Dating Service
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
There are 2 kinds of online dating services. Free dating and paid membership dating services.
Many of the free services have some of the same features as a paid service of course without the price. Because of the number of free online dating sites to choose from many of them offer you quite a lot of features and protection to get your business.
One downside to dating for free online compared to paying to date online is the seriousness of the person joining. A more serious person is going to join a paid membership site and the free members will miss out on those potential partners.
Here are 5 guidelines to look for when you are considering joining a free online dating site.
1. Privacy policy
All dating sites must have a privacy policy. This is for your protection and should state that your name or email address will never be sold or given out.
2. Background check
It always pays off to do a background check before committing to any dating site. It is best to find out first if the site has a larger membership database than others. More members mean more choices for you.
3. Online Features
How many features does your free online dating site offer. Not all services offer the same amount or quality of features. You would expect a paid online dating site to offer more, but there are differences in what free online dating sites offer.
4. Security measures
When you join a free dating site never use your real name when creating a user name and e-mail address. You may even want to set up a free email account with Yahoo or Hotmail just for your dating responses. It is always best to maintain a certain level of secrecy for security purposes.
5. Free trial offers
Nearly all online dating services offer some sort of free trial. It is a good idea to join as a free member first to try out the features before upgrading to a paid membership.
As you can see, these online dating services have to do the basics as well as be competitive if they want to attract members who may later become paid members. By joining a free online dating site this gives you the chance to check everything out and get a feel for how it all works before you commit to spending any of your hard earned cash.
Not all dating sites are created equal and it is very important you try before you buy so that you can see which ones impress you the most.

5 Steps to Successful Online Dating
Monday, March 8th, 2010
5 Steps to Successful Online Dating
Online Dating is on the rise. How can you use this dating method to your best advantage with your best foot forward?
There are several dating methods blind dates, classified ads, telephone personals, or even general grocery store pickup line dates or even the popular online dating. Each of the dating methods has its advantages and disadvantages.
Here I am going to focus on online dating. Here are five steps to successful online dating
Step 1) Specify What You Want
Decide what kind of dating or relationship you want to have
I hear you say, “What do you mean? What kind of relationship?. Dating is dating isn’t it?”. Well what I meant was, to define if you are looking for marriage-minded relationship, or long-term relationship without any marriage plans, or short-term casual dating ranging from few weeks to few months or even intimate encounters for very short-time frames such as days.
This step helps you identify what you are looking for. Why do you have to define what kind of dating or relationship you want? This way you can search for online dating sites based on your decision. There are several sites focusing on marriage minded and long term relationships. And then some, which focus on the relationships focused on casual, short term and intimate in nature
You can search on Internet search engines such as Google or Yahoo by searching with your criteria keywords within quotes such as “marriage minded dating” or “casual dating” or “intimate encounters” etc
Step 2) Select Your Dating Site
Browse each online dating site very carefully by looking at the profiles at each site and reading each profile what they are looking for in their dating partner. Some online dating sites will allow you to browse profiles without registering first. So you can use this opportunity to browse their dating profiles and assess whether that online dating site is your kind of place to hang around
A word of caution is that not all online dating sites are the same. Some are fancy. Some are quality. Some are cheap. Some are feature-rich. Some are free. Some are paid. But what matters most is for you to select the internet dating site based on what you want on Step 1) plus the features you find in each dating site which you feel will get you to whom you want to date
Step 3) Setup Your Amazing Profile
This is one of the key steps which a lot of people forget or don’t take the time to do it. Because they feel either they don’t have the time to write a detailed profile, or they think they are going to be contacting people anyway so why bother or they think what is the point etc.
Your profile is your first impression you give to a potential partner who maybe browsing that dating site when you have joined that particular dating site. When a potential partner is looking through profiles if they see an empty profile even without a picture, how could they get to know you when you don’t even present yourself let alone make ANY impression!?
So a completed profile is a must. A picture adds another thousand words to your profile. If you wish to remain anonymous in the beginning a dating profile without a picture is also ok. You can make up for it in your profile details. But please do have something in your profile without having just a single line like some people, which says “hot guy looking for a hot girl” or “are you cute? Then email me” or “sexy girl wants her cute boy friend” or “just looking”!. I even saw on one dating profile which said “oh I was lost .now I am found…let me out!”. Hmmm… if it is meant to be funny, at least make sure the sense of humor is easily understood.
Step 4) Using the Dating Site Features
As mentioned above, not all online dating sites have the same feature set. Depending on whether each dating site charges per month or whether they are free, what features they offer as part of their program will also differ
Most dating sites will allow you to post your profile for free. When you browse their existing profiles and you find a person you like to contact then most sites will not let you contact them unless you pay. If the site is a free site then they will most likely allow you to contact them.
Contacting the interested person maybe either via a “wink” or an “IM Instant Messenger” or an internal email via the site. Each of these features will be useful in their own right.
A quick and easy method to show your interest to the person you are interested is to send a “wink”‘. This way you don’t have to come up with your own ‘chat up line’ or other creative ways of getting their attention. The dating site will have predefined ‘winks’ setup so you just select one wink you like and then ‘voila!” your desired person will have got your ‘wink’.
Sometimes it is better to Instant Message a person especially if you find that person rarely comes “online” and you want to grab their attention when they are online which is quite unusual so you would like to say “hi”.
An email to the interested party is better because you can describe yourself better and plant a better ‘first impression’. The reason being if you “IM” a person and they reject you at that moment because they don’t know much about you, some sites may not allow you to contact that person again even by email. This will depend on the dating website’s sophistication of their features. Normally, you can contact that person by Instant Messaging and if they reject your IM, you can still email them.
If the online dating site you signed up is fortunate enough to have chat rooms, you can say hi in the chat room and then take the conversation to a private ‘whisper’ mode for more privacy to converse with that person in a more private setting
Step 5) Take Your Time To Get To Know
Some people who start on dating online rush into things which they later regret. It is critical that you get to know the other person very well before arranging an offline meeting in person
There are several reasons for this. Firstly, your only interaction with the person you just met on the dating site is thru Instant Message, Chat or Email or a combination of these. Sometimes you may have taken the conversation to a phone conversation by exchanging numbers or calling that person. On these mediums the other person can create quite a ‘make believe’ scenario and in the ‘heat of the moment’ of attraction with their features as they describe it, or their voice or their words might blind you from your normal logical thinking.
So it is very important to get to know them from all angles before committing to meet them in person. One of the best ways is to ask questions. Especially open ended questions. Whatever you do, do not assume anything about the other person. This is not fair on you because you are not telling yourself the truth, or the other person because you are misjudging them.
When you are ready to meet, choose a place to meet which you feel comfortable with. Be yourself, and enjoy the dating process. Best of all, have fun getting to know the other person. If it is not fun then it is not worth your time. Good Luck!

Seniors Dating Online
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Most services do not pre-screen their users, therefore they cannot assume any responsability for the people you meet through their sites. This officially grants you the title of screener, a responsability which you must take very seriously. Gone are the days when dating means courting your future spouse you met at school or in your neighborhood. Romance could blossom now with a click of a mouse.
Your first order of business, as stated above, will be getting matched up with one or more dating sites that fit you and your needs. The questions below should help you narrow things down. Do you friends consider you a matchmaker? Do you have at least one couple you are friends with whom you set up? If you care about couples and are the matchmaking type, you could be next in line for your own business.
Communication in dating is essential. Not only do you need to know what your date needs and desires, you also need to know how those things play into your life. Don’t get angry with your date if he hasn’t fulfilled your every need if you didn’t communicate those needs to him in the first place.
Seniors dating online: It’s never too late to find love.
Finding the love of your life does not have to stop at 30. In fact, there are many online dating websites that try to get this message across to senior citizens. For many, online dating has become a successful endeavor for uniting countless singles. Many think that it is only for younger people, but according to the 2000 Report of the Census Bureau of the United States, there are more than 31 million single Americans that have reached 45. Singles below 45 are around 51 million. So, out of 82 million singles in the United States, about 37.8 percent are seniors. That’s more than a third of all singles. So for every 10 singles checking an internet dating site, four of them are likely to be seniors.
That is why if you are an older single, why not try dating sites on the Internet? There are many dating services over the Net that especially cater to seniors to help them find a perfect match. Becoming a member of an internet dating site will take just a few minutes.
Churches often stress the benefits of love, marriage, and family life, and Christians are encouraged to form relationships with others. Many Christian singles face the reality that meeting other eligible Christians can be quite difficult. Those in small churches often find it hard to meet enough single people, while singles in large church communities feel under the spotlight, or find it hard get to know people well. Dating is the first step in finding a lifelong mate, so don’t be in a hurry, go ahead and take your time. Make a list of qualities that you want in a future mate. Once you’ve made your list of qualities, memorize or carry them with you. These things will determine the type of person you end up dating.
Do you know how to date? I’m not talking about calling up someone and asking them out. I’m talking about really dating. Romancing the other person. Whoever took it out needs to put it back in! We need it!
Be honest about who you are and what you are seeking – do not reveal more than you normally would in a face to face first meeting. There are many people in the world that are looking for that special someone to share their life with. In fact, as a counselor, I meet with countless people everyday who are looking for love and are just not sure where to find it. I have learned that people are somewhat desperate to find true love and that they will often go to extreme measures to find someone special.
There are more than 700 dating services online in the United States alone and new sites are cropping up weekly. The huge array of dating services online can be overwhelming even for the most proactive dater. An average dating services online might demand $200 fee or less annually.
What are the advantages of joining an online senior dating site?
- User-friendly
Whether you are a senior who is just new to computers or you are quite an expert at surfing the Net, dating services are easy to use.
- Success rate
Generally, sites with many members often have the highest probability of giving you the perfect mate. In addition, having many site members give the site a good reputation.
- Anonymous Email
Reputable dating sites do not instantly give your email address or contact numbers in case someone wants to give you a message or vice versa. You need give your “real identity” only when you have become comfortable with that person.
- Matching Service
Online sites allow you to state what you want in a person and can notify you by email of the people most likely to match you.
- Articles and Tips on Dating
Sites offer articles and tips on how to get your perfect match. Looking for your soul mate is not tied to age. Try online dating. It works!
Married dating advice and tips A number of online dating web site allows user to use their services before they are required to pay monthly, quarterly or annual subscription fee. Online dating web site let you try the online dating site before making a financial commitment. If your new to online dating you may have allot of questions going through your mind about finding a date online. You have maybe heard things like its not safe or that you wont find a long lasting relationship online. Lets look at my top 5 myths of online dating.
Use caution when giving out personal information, including your full name, address or telephone number. At first, provide nothing more than an e-mail address.
It’s often hard to find someone in your local parish or church to spend the rest of your life with. Especially for young people, who have a very hard time finding someone of their age group in the local church or synagogue. Remaining positive has a number of benefits. First of all it helps you to remain focused on your goal of finding a partner to share your life. Secondly it portrays to your date how you feel about yourself, the date and the future. Thirdly, it allows you to continue dating even if the last date didn’t proceed all that well.

3 Online Dating Tips That Nobody Told You About
Thursday, March 4th, 2010
If you have the internet, then surely you are not new to dating online. Yes, online dating is fun, an exciting way to meet new friends and it can be really addictive. However, you must be warned of things you should look out for before you try it out. There have been more and more reported cases of identity theft or fraud on some sites. To avoid such problems and scams, here are 3 basic online dating tips that can help you.
Tip #1
Tell No One Anything.
Do not reveal any of your private information to anyone on any online dating site. Information like phone number, address should never be revealed to anyone, even if you have known them online for sometime or have been talking to them. You will never know who is really behind that persona you are talking to. The picture in the profile might not even be the real person! It pays to be cautious when dealing with anyone online. Some of these cyber criminals may even attempt try to trick you to reveal more personal information by pretending to be one of your friends. With such tricksters abound online, you must be paranoia about revealing any information to anyone online.
Tip #2
No site is safe. Period.
Having a website does not mean that whoever owns it is credible. Some owners of online dating websites will lure you in, request all your personal information and then sell those information to stalkers or other cyber criminals. Sometimes they sell these information to other companies which may seem legitimate but they in turn might resell your information to dubious characters. Also note that some websites that require you to enter a detailed password do not always mean a secure site. Always check that these websites have encryption enabled when you are submitting your information. Read all the fine print on privacy statement on these sites. Find out exactly what they can do and what they cannot do with your information. If possible, stick to mainstream or a famous online dating site. Sure, they are more expensive but the price is worth it to protect your identity from being stolen.
Tip #3
Use a nickname.
Never use your real name on the online dating site. Use a nickname or an alias instead. For example if your name is Jane Doe, use something else like lovewitch2007 instead. And if someone does ask you for your real name, you can give them a fake one.
All the 3 tips are meant to be basic guidelines that you should adhere to in order to protect yourself on any online dating site. You may be surprised at what people can find out online. It is better to be safe than sorry when you find out that “you” have been committing cyber crimes online and you have to go through the hassle of proving that it was not you.
Have fun meeting new people online but remember to protect yourself at the same time. Visit my website to read more about the various online dating sites.

Would a larger person’s chances of dating be better if they were to use a dating site that specializes in BBWs?
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010I have a friend who has a heart of gold, is warm and funny and just an all around good person. The problem is she is very overweight. I need to be upfront and say she is dealing with her weight issues. My question is in terms of dating sites, would her chances of finding someone be better if she were to use a dating site that specializes in large women vs regular sites?
I don’t think you should be upfront with her unless she is asking. If she asks you why she can’t find a man or something, than you could causally suggest a site or something. But if shes happy with herself and her situation – you should let her be.
