Finding The Perfect Match

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 13:53:00 +0000

No matter how you try to go about it or where you do it, finding a perfect match can be a little bit difficult at times. Online love is a solution that many people favor in this day and age. A lot of us have such busy, hectic lives that we can't really afford to take the time to go out to bars, network with friends, or do the other social activities that really help people meet their match. This is why online dating services have so much appeal. Not only do they put a little bit of distance between two people who are flirting together, making it feel safer and more natural, but they also make the whole process so much more efficient. With an online dating service, you can talk to thousands of singles!

Nonetheless, there are some definite disadvantages to looking for online love. The real problem with an online dating service is that what you see isn't always what you get. In some ways, this is an advantage. People can really portray an idealized version of themselves, making it easier to make a good first impression. For a lot of awkward people, the first meeting of the most difficult. Through an online dating service, you can make this meeting comparatively easy.

The flip side, of course, is that it is hard to see who you're actually talking to on an online dating service. Although the Internet scare stories – The ones where stalkers create a completely fictitious identity in the interest of fooling people for nefarious reasons – are extremely rare. You can be pretty sure that your online dating service won't be dangerous. Still, there are some things that will key you in to whether or not your potential mate is who they say they are.

The biggest thing to look for, of course, is whether or not they represent themselves in a consistent manner. Most people who lie are not very good at it. You can use this to your advantage. If someone on an online dating service seems to be telling a different story every time, you can be pretty sure that they're lying. If not, you can be pretty sure that they are telling the truth. Either way, you can usually tell pretty quickly. Then you can decide whether or not to pursue anything. If not, you always have time to move on to someone else. Happy hunting!

The A-B-C Of Online Dating

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 17:22:00 +0000

The A-B-C Of Online Dating

The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.

Looking to spice up your life a little or add some romance...or maybe find that perfect love connection?

Jump right in...the online dating waters are just fine and you will have lots of company. There are over THREE MILLION others already splashing around when you do decide to take the plunge!!

If you're new, or relatively new to the online dating scene, this article should get you headed down the right path. Follow the tips and recommendation presented here and your initial experiences will be more enjoyable, and yield better results.

Do a search of "online dating" and you will be presented with more than 2.9 MILLION web pages from which to make your selection! Hmm... a bit overwhelming to say the least. But don't let the huge numbers discourage you. Try the dating preparation and selection methods described, and you will easily find your perfect dating site match.

So your first order of business is to get yourself matched up with one or more online dating sites that fit you and your needs. The questions below should help you narrow things down.

What Type Dating Site?

Plain Vanilla - no ethnic, religious, or cultural themes. Asian, Black/Ebony/African American, Italian, Jewish, Senior Citizen, the list goes on...

Do some searching using the terms below as a guide.

"online dating" + senior
"online dating" + Christian
"online dating" + African American
"online dating" + Asian

"online dating" +

Get the idea? A search on each of the examples above will pretty much yield what you would expect.

If you're on a tight budget, just add the word "free".

"online dating" + free
"online dating" + senior + free ...etc.

You will need to look a little harder to find high quality free dating sites or personal services. REALLY FREE dating sites with lots of members, lots of activity, and lots of member services are pretty hard to come by. You'll understand better after you do a few searches for free dating websites.

A search for dating reviews and forums can also be helpful.

"online dating" + review OR reviews
"online dating" + forum OR forums

With the dating related forums, you can read about good and bad experiences others have had with particular dating and personals web sites.

Dating services reviews will give you some good info as well. Look for genuine, unbiased reviews. Many of the dating review sites out there are willy-nilly listings someone threw together to earn commissions.

Another way to find good dating sites is by asking friends and co-workers who may have tried, or are using online dating or personals services. You may be surprised to find out how many of your single friends are members of a personals site.

If you find yourself confused by what you've read to this point, don't despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish.

How Much?

Monthly fees vary widely, but the average is around $24. Most dating and singles sites will give you a discount if you pay for two or months in advance.

I would suggest you only buy into a one month membership with any new dating service you join. If you decide you like it simply extend your membership. If you don't like the service, you cut your losses at one month, and avoid the hassles of requesting a refund, or canceling billing.

Tight Budget Dating Tip: Most free dating sites have low activity, and member activity is what makes personals and dating sites tick.

Solution: Join 3, 4 or more free dating sites. If you find that their combined activity serves your needs... you're good to go. If not, you'll have gained a good familiarity with online dating, and a better understanding of what you want, when and if you decide to plunk down some bucks for a paid membership.

Telling Your Pool-Side Story

Now write your story (aka: member profile). No great detail; just write like you're writing to the man or woman you seek. Write a little about you, stating one or more of your unique qualities. Write a little about the person you're seeking.

You'll save some time if you write and save all your profile data to a text editor or word processor file. Then, you can COPY and PASTE it to the proper areas of your online dating profile.

As things change, and as you grow, you will want to update and modify your profile statements.

A Picture IS Worth a Thousand Words

You will generally get 3 to 10 time better response with a posted photo than without. People don't generally spend much time on profiles with no photos... so take the hint.

If you don't own a digital camera, web cam, or scanner, take a few photos and a diskette to your local Office Depot, Staples, or general office supply store. They should be able to scan and copy your photos to your diskette. Then you can easily add one or more to your dating site profile. You could also ask friends and relatives who own a digital camera or scanner.

Digital cameras are very inexpensive these days. Check eBay for some of the best deals.

Stay Focused and On-Track

You may want to start a journal, (on paper, or in a text file), to log your "love search" progress. Make notes of URL links of sites you like (you should also bookmark these sites), restrictions, any new member specials, member benefits and services, monthly fees, etc.

When I first started, I also wrote out a statement describing what I wanted to accomplish by joining a dating site. You may want to do the same. These statements and a well-kept journal will help keep you focused and organized. Organized endeavors always yield greater results than haphazard approaches.

Safe-Date Policies

This is actually part of the title of an upcoming article, but I mention it here to stress the use of common-sense, safety, and caution when dealing with ANY dating situation - on or offline.

Now... jump in your skivvies and take the dive!

Now that wasn't hard at all, was it? And you've earned a wealth of knowledge, just from taking some time to study an expert's word on online dating.

How To Choose An Online Dating Service

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 14:25:00 +0000

Okay, you say, online dating gives you more pros than cons. But, how do you choose from the various online sites out there? Here are some factors that you should consider.

1. Do some budgeting.

Determine how much of your money do you want to be used for online dating. Do a budget. Some internet sites require you to pay one-time fees, while some ask for monthly membership fees.

2. Seek recommendations.

You could ask friends or colleagues who have become acquainted with some online dating sites for their tips in looking for a good dating site. They can give additional information not available from Internet dating sites.

3. Check available sites.

Check the Internet for possible information for dating websites. Try to see what sites are the most popular or least visited.

4. Consider specialized sites.

There are also specialized dating sites available. Some are for seniors, some for homosexuals and some are for different religious affiliations among others.

5. Weigh the cons and pros.

From the online sites that you have checked, select only the top three and compare their advantages and disadvantages with the rest. Factors to be considered are the site’s success rate, number of members, features and fees, among others things.

Dating has never been this much fun. Whether it is for friendship or a long-term romantic relationship (even marriage), online dating sites can be very useful and fun.

Online Dating Is Fun!

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 17:38:00 +0000

Should you go online dating? Why not? That is the answer for many of you who are undecided and unsure of Internet dating. There are many reasons for doing so, and by being a member of online dating services, you are expanding your social circle and raising your hopes to find your perfect match.

Online dating services have grown by leaps and bounds over the years. Most singles have become members of such online dating sites, with high success rates.

Here are some reasons why online dating is perfectly right and safe for you.

It is fun!

In case you did not know or haven’t heard yet, online dating is the most prominent way of meeting attractive and fun people all over the world. It is safe, easy, and a fun way of meeting and connecting with many great people. Every month, millions of singles all over the world are available for instant communication, with hundreds of thousands signing up as new members.

There are many benefits of online dating.

The benefits of online dating are absolutely endless. For example, most dating services in the Internet have millions of members, mostly active ones that are just waiting to communication with somebody like you for friendship, lunch or dinner dates, and possibly even more. The odds of finding a special mate in these online dating services are very high since these singles intend to meet someone like you. Imagine the millions of potential mates in online dating sites!

The icing on the cake is that most online dating sites offer easy access to a wide variety of people, with their photos, audio and video clips available in an instant. It’s like meeting somebody new at the click of a mouse button right in your own home.

Internet Dating is Easy.

Online dating sites have hundreds of millions of members. So, for example, if you don’t want somebody because his or her profile doesn’t match yours or it doesn’t interest you, you can easily move on to another profile. Most, if not all, online dating sites also have features that enable you to state what you look for in a partner...you're likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. Submit them to the online dating site where you are a member, then just wait for emails coming from the online dating services informing you of their latest possible matches for you! It’s that easy! You don’t have to go to the site every day just to check who’s "right" for you.

If somebody piques your interest, you can send them an instant message or an email. And hopefully, they will do the same. From there, you can take the contact to the next level. It is that fast and easy!

Free Online Dating Services?

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:39:00 +0000

Free Online Dating Services: When Free Things Matter

Today, there are many free online dating services as those that require memberships.

Most free online dating services have almost the same features as the paid ones, so people can get the same benefit without having to pay for anything.

However, one of the reasons why these free online dating services are not as popular as those that require membership fees is that almost 45% of the single adults who use these dating services are actually looking for serious relationships.

Here are some guidelines to remember when looking at free online dating sites.

1. Privacy policy

Even if it is a free online dating site, it has to have its own privacy policy. This means that online dating sites should never sell or use their member’s e-mail address for anything else.

2. Background checking

It always pays off to do background checking before committing to a certain online dating site. It’s best to find out first if the site has larger membership database than others. More members would mean choices.

3. Extra features

Not all free online dating services are created equal. So, even if they are free, some can provide greater features compared to others.

4. Log-in safety measures

Even if the site seems okay, remember never to use your real name when creating a user name or use an e-mail address. It is always best to maintain certain level of secrecy for security purposes.

5. Free trial offers

Free online dating services usually offer free trials. It wouldn’t hurt to try just as long as a person observes safety online dating guidelines. After all, there’s nothing to lose because they are free.

So, whether or not free online dating services are favorable, one thing should always be kept in mind: One’s safety should always be on top priority.

Love Relationships

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 13:48:00 +0000

Dating and establishing love relationships can be compared to choosing a vehicle. I'm sure you've heard the debate that attempts to separate out that which is love and that which is infatuation when it comes to relationships.

Too many people get all caught up in the dizzy craziness of early love and start to think it should always be like that - that weird magic and incredible obsession of the beginning of a relationship. But you must realize that is not going to last. True love takes time, getting to know each other. As you learn the lessons of what it takes to build increasing intimacy, loving support and unprecedented relationships, your ability to unconditionally love those who are, let’s say, more difficult to find it in your heart to love, will improve. Unfortunately as it happens in many relationships desire is not converted into love and the passion dies out.

So what's all the hype about love relationships? Understanding the dynamics of relationships with varying degrees of romantic chemistry is a critical step in finding good love. By understanding the effects that romantic chemistry and emotional maturity have on relationships, couples can make better choices, deal more effectively with power issues, and have more satisfying and lasting relationships. To describe the degree of romantic chemistry and the degree of emotional maturity. A lot depends on the degree of romantic chemistry. “I like him, I like him a lot, but that’s the problem, I don’t love him, I just like him.

People who are not afraid to fall in love and have a relationship must have a certain amount of bravery. Sacred Love means falling in love forever, you’ll see stars and moons and heavens every night you choose, nothing can stop you, nothing can get in your way and your lover will be magnetised, because you will have a purpose to share, greater than the both of you.

Finding Love Should Not Be A Full Time Job

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 13:41:00 +0000

Our planet is brimming with random lottery of people; undeniably though, finding true love can be considered a risky business.

Wishing you all the best in finding the love of your life. In your quest of finding love online it is very important not to concentrate on the fact that your are trying to find love but concentrate on making friends and if you do find your soul mate then that's fantastic but not guaranteed. It's only by loving yourself, and by living your life to the fullest that you will find true happiness, and perhaps true love.

While you are out in the world filling yourself up with the things that you love, you will begin to meet new people that are also living their lives to the fullest, and who aren't looking for someone else to give them what they need. In the end, the love worth finding is what works for you—what truly makes you glow from inside out. I'm talking about the kind of love that changes the world and makes it a better place to live.

True love has a price, a price most people are not willing to pay, therefore, they will never have it. Once again, if these people don’t deal with their core self esteem issues they have little if any chance of finding true love. Maybe there’s no exact formula for finding true love. If you are thinking of going into a relationship, or if you find yourself falling in love, and ready to date, keep this in mind: relationship is way, way beyond just love and attraction. If you are looking for a new treadmill to love I know just the place. In dating sites, you get to meet people who are actually also looking for love like you.

Lose the losers- How sad would it be to have the love of your life come along and you miss it because you are caught up with some loser? If you want more success in business, in your relationships, and in your life, try applying love to the situation. When you find yourself going through a difficult change, simply Imagine to yourself how love springs out of you and takes charge of the situation.

Your search for true love should not be limited to what society perceives as true love. Once true love is found, people live happily ever after. Finding someone to love should not be your part-time or full-time job.

Online Dating Reviewed - Single Parent Love Life

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 14:25:00 +0000

Product: Online Dating for Single Parents

Company: Single Parent Love Life.com

Consumer: Single Parents

Price: Signing up is free, but the price is not available until you have registered.

The purpose of becoming a member of Single Parent Love Life.com is to meet others who are also single parents.

Pros: On most online dating sites having kids can be a big handicap. The people that you meet on those sites simply do not understand the responsibilities and obligations that you have as a single parent. They really don’t "get it." The whole idea on the Single Parent Love Life.com website is “Get together with someone who gets you.” That is a pretty good description, don’t you think? Unless your dating partner is also a single parent, they have no clue where you are coming from or who you really are. The point of dating as a single parent is that you must find someone who is willing to accept the whole package -- you AND your children -- and only another parent can possibly understand your level of commitment to your children.

Cons: Other than not knowing the price until you have registered, there are no particular cons associated with a membership in the Single Parents Love Life website that I could determine. The site is designed for single parents to meet other single parents.

Guarantee: There is no guarantee of success or satisfaction offered, but there is a free trial and memberships can be cancelled.

Value for money: Since the price of a membership could not be determined, the value of the service could not be determined.

Look Better Online for Myspace or Dating Sites

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:43:00 +0000

Product: Photographs for Online Dating Sites

Company: Look Better Online.com

Company URL: http://www.lookbetteronline.com/

Price: Depends on package chosen and site of photographs taken

Consumer: Anyone Who Wants To Make Themselves Look Good

The purpose of having photos taken through Look Better Online is to get the best possible picture to post along with a profile on an online dating site.

Pros: How good your profile is, and the picture that you post on any dating website, will be the determining factors of whether you are contacted by other dating site members. When meeting people, it is always the best policy to put your best foot (or, in this case, your best face) forward. A photograph that has been taken by a professional is going to look about a thousand times better than one that was taken with a cheap camera by an amateur photographer in poor lighting.

There is an art to taking photographs that look good when they are posted online. At Look Better Online.com, you are matched to a photographer in your area that specializes in taking photographs for online posting. The pictures can be downloaded directly from the Look Better Online.com website.

Cons: Having photographs taken by any professional local photographer would probably be satisfactory as well as less expensive.

Guarantee: There is a guarantee of satisfaction (sort of) that reads in part: “If you are unhappy with your photos, we can either give you a free re-shoot or refund your money. If we give you a reshoot, you will not be able to get any refund if you don't like your photos the second time. It is your responsibility to tell the photographer what kind of photos you'd like to get and make sure you get them. If you choose to not have a reshoot, we will give you a refund for the amount paid minus a sitting fee ($60 for studio shoot and $75 for on-location shoot) The sitting fee is non-refundable. Optional services are non-refundable.”

Value for money: It is not possible to determine the value of this service.

Are You Thinking Of Online Dating? Why Not?

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Johnson) — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 17:45:00 +0000

Online Dating Tips

Dating through friends is the safest way when it comes to the person you date with, but it’s the most risky way when it comes to your personal loss. Ask your friends to be the matchmakers and set you up on a date with one of their friends. Well, once you are out in the singles market, these people become an important asset, you should start looking at them not only as your friends but also as your free dating services.

While cheaters, liars and frauds certainly can be very convincing on the Web, you'll also find them in nightclubs and offline dating services, parties or even sitting across from you at your local coffee house. With those in mind, and you armored with presence of mind and a cautious but not paranoid attitude, you'll be well set off for the goodies of single dating. In conclusion: If you approach the online dating scene with a positive attitude while exhibiting caution and common sense, you greatly increase your likelihood of an enjoyable experience. When you seek online dating from an Internet web site source, follow the guidelines about which type of things not to share with others about yourself while at that site. Make use of all the features on the online dating web site that aid in critiquing contacts; nearly all have bio pages on all members.

You could find free online dating services and others that require a certain financial engagement. The online dating services you start off by emailing your potential partner,if it becomes more difficult for you to show emotion through typing your thoughts, you have to start getting a little more creative, and become more prepared to put yourself out there, and realize you will be venturing into a new world of dating. At the very least get your picture out there and they will come to you.

Being too desperate over a relationship will spoil the fun of single dating life. The most important thing to remember is that first of all dating is a game and therefore, should be fun. Relax and enjoy meeting new people.

I don't know what you've been told about internet dating, but it's not always as easy as 1,2,3. A great deal has been said about the pros and cons of Dating Sites on the Internet. In my personal opinion, I sincerely believe one of the best ways to meet people is by using one of the many large internet dating services. An Internet dating service acts as a sort of chaperone in this manner, you can always fall back on the hundreds of other people you've already met if you feel you need to get away from someone or you can simply turn your PC off and wait for them to move on to the next person.

Good luck and remember have fun with it.

Product: Matchmaker.com

Company: Matchmaker.com

Company URL: http://www.matchmaker.com

Price: Could not determine real cost. The advertisement says that the gold membership can “be as low as 25 cents per day” -- whatever that means.

Consumer: Singles

The Purpose of a Matchmaker Membership is to make contact with potential dating partners.

Pros: Matchmaker is one of the online dating sites that have been around for a long time. They have a good reputation online for keeping their members private information private and not sharing email addresses.

The objective of each member of Matchmaker.com may be different. Some people are looking for their one true love of a lifetime, while others are seeking lifetime friendships. Humans are not happy being alone in this world. Everybody needs someone to share life with on many different levels. Matchmaker.com doesn’t try to tell you what kind of relationship that you are looking for. They simply let you make that determination while affording you the opportunity to connect with others on your own terms and in a time frame that you find comfortable.

There are no guarantees of who you will find. The only guarantee is that there are a lot of other people who will meet the criteria that you set who are also members of Matchmaker.com

Cons: The advertising is a bit misleading. Joining the site is free, but then if the member wished to contact other members there is a fee that I am unable to determine.

Guarantee: The website states that Matchmaker.com will issue a refund within 72 hours of an initial subscription provided that none of the Services have been utilized. Beyond these conditions, requests for refunds will be at the sole discretion of Matchmakers and will be reviewed on a member to member basis."

Value for money: I am unable to determine the value because real cost could not be determined.

eHarmony Dating Online Site Reviewed

Product: eHarmony.com Membership

Company: eHarmony.com

Company URL: http://www.eharmony.com

Cost: $59.95 for a one-month membership. Per month charges decrease with longer subscription agreements.

Consumer: Singles

The purpose of an eHarmony.com membership is for singles to meet and develop personal relationships.

Pros: The eHarmony.com idea of matchmaking is based on compatibility unlike other matchmaking services. The Compatibility Matching System has even been trademarked. When a user first signs up for the service, they fill out questionnaires that consist of 436 questions (a $40 value) and receive their personality profile. That profile is then used to match them to other eHarmony.com members. This narrows the field of choices down from hundreds of possibilities to only a few.

Most online dating services, the matchmaking is done by the members themselves and is based on a couple of paragraphs of type and a picture. At eHarmony.com, the matchmaking is done based upon 29 different personality factors. There is a very good success rate. About ninety eHarmony.com members end up getting married every single day.

Cons: You may not find love right away, don't expect to much and you won't be disappointed. Go out and have fun.

Guarantee: There is no guarantee of satisfaction, but there is a free trial and memberships may be cancelled.

Value for money: An eHarmony.com membership appears to be a very good value for singles who are looking for love.

Online Dating Sites

While online dating through paying membership sites may seem like the safer way for adult dating online, it is important to know that you get what you pay for. With over 100 free online dating sites, it's easy to choose to log on or post your profile for free, but there are some unique differences between pay and free sites that you should take into consideration before signing up. There are some good reasons to choose a free online dating site for your adult dating online services.

To find free online sites on the Internet, you may use popular search engines like Yahoo and Google to look for reputable online dating services. Whatever your goals are to achieve a relationship online, you will easily find dating sites that provide quality services, and offer the right dating tools for you to find friendship, romance, and possible love for marriage. With over 100 free online dating sites, you may have to weed through many inappropriate sites until you get hooked into a good one, but if you're not getting your money's worth through your current membership in your online dating service, free may be the way to go. While there are over 100 free online dating sites to choose from, make sure that they are truly free before logging on.

All online dating web sites have free trial periods so you can test as many as you like. With so many choices of online dating web sites available it also increases your chances of success by choosing the right one for your lifestyle or religion. As in the real world, there are certain precautions you must take in consideration when using dating sites online.

Therefore, to be successful in the online dating world, your profile is highly important. Once of the major challenges of online dating is that it is largely an intellectual and emotionally charged form of dating. When it comes to dating online, there are a host of challenges and unique opportunities for you and your online crush to take advantage of.

While most dating services online provide free registration, you will undoubtedly want to become a paid member if you really want to take advantage of the more advanced features of your membership. Almost all Internet dating sites offer a free membership, this usually provides the new member with the ability to browse, search and upload a profile. Perhaps the divorce rate will begin to lower as these types of Internet dating sites grow in popularity?

The main format for Jewish dating sites is the same as most online dating services. After all, a visit to an online dating site is almost like visiting a store, only the "merchandise" is a real live human being. The best online dating service will require two things that a free site can not usually afford to have-payment through credit card only and software in 24 hour use which detects phrases that are considered inappropriate for the site.

In contrast, a paid dating site usually requires the use of a credit card, or other verifiable form of payment. I hope this article has opened you eyes to just a few of the many benefits and features that can be obtained when using dating sites to help you. And, if you are over 55, why not try senior dating sites?

Like I said before, there are adult dating sites of several descriptions, but they usually fit into a few different categories. However, not all dating sites deliver on their promises-some are just outright scams.

The bottom-line still is: you get what you pay for.
