Selecting an Online Dating Site

Home

Add Your Site

So you are thinking of giving online dating a try yourself. Here are some tips on selecting the online dating site that is right for you.

Most sites offer free trial memberships. Join and look around for potential matches. See if other members appear to share the same interests as you. If you can, try to determine if they have members located geographically close enough to you to make dating practical.

Get referrals from other people. Ask around in online forums and discussion groups.

Some sites cater to specialized interests or nationalities. In your search for a site remember to look for these specialized sites if you have specific preferences.

You'll need to submit your email address when signing up for free trials so get an anonymous email account. You can get one at no cost from many sites, for example: Hotmail.com or Walla.com

The Friend Finder network of sites is a good place to begin. They have millions of members so the chance of finding some who shares your interests and is located close to you is greatly increased. They also have a number of specialized sites customized for different races, preferences, religions, etc.

Quick Ideas for Dates

Quick Date Ideas:

Indoor Jungle Picnic. In your family room (or another room) secretly gather all of the live and fake plants you have and place them in the room.
Get the glow-in-the-dark stars and put them all over the walls and ceiling. Get any outdoor or jungle-themed paintings, pictures, or decor and place them around the room. If you can get branches or leaves from outdoors and bring them inside, even better. Then play one of the jungle or outdoor-themed CDs that bring sounds of the jungle or ocean. Have a picnic made in a nice basket, and include some nice drinks and plates. Lay out a blanket or a thatched mat. Have lit candles placed all around the room. Bring your date in and surprise her/him. If you
have a chance to dim the lights and just use the candles and the glow-in-the-dark stars, that is best. Then after your dinner/picnic, lie back and try to make constellations out of the stars that you placed on your ceiling.
