If you are in the USA, chances are you will not be able to sign up for Meetic.com, a popular global dating site. If you visit the Meetic.com dating site you will instead be forwarded to Match.com because of an IP check that says you reside in the USA. See the screenshot below which appears when you type in Meetic.com into your browser.

False Internet Dating Beliefs

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Mention the words Internet Dating to some singles and they may try to laugh it off, dismiss it entirely as a bad thing. There are beliefs that many singles hold dear to themselves, which govern the way they perceive internet dating and look for a new relationship. Unfortunately, some of these beliefs are false and may actually prevent singles from finding happiness, rather than promote their search for true love online or otherwise.

Here are just some of what we call false internet dating beliefs:

  • There are no more good singles out there for me. Many singles seem to think that all the good and eligible singles are taken, and all those left are just the dregs of the dating world. That is a preposterous conclusion to come to, because there are certainly many great singles out there if you know where to look. The search for true love, or even for a great date, is more than just a game of numbers. If you want to find a great partner, whether for now or for life, you have to stop sitting around and look around. Most of all, find out where you should be looking. Internet dating surely can help here.
  • Decent places to find decent dates are becoming rare. This is a favorite excuse among singles who are too lazy to go on their own search for potential dating partners and who would rather wait for them to fall on their lap. Again, to snag a good dating partner takes a little effort to accomplish. It is certainly not impossible to meet new people and find a dating prospect among them. If you want to take the traditional route, just hang out at places where other singles meet, like bars, the gym, book stores, coffee shops or the mall. And of course, check out the internet dating scene and join a dating site or two.
  • Actively looking for dates makes me look desperate. This is a lie.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with actively looking for dates, online or offline, and neither would it make you look desperate. When you are dating or looking for dates, you have to have a goal in mind, whether it is to have as many short term relationships as you can get or to get married and start a family. Know your goal and pursue that goal same as you would for work.   The best things in life come to those who wait, that may be true, but you have to get off your rear and start doing your own part too.
  • The people I meet are not hot, smart, interesting or good enough for me. Nobody is perfect. When we meet new dating prospects, we have to keep an open mind and be realistic about our expectations. Rather than tick off your prospective date’s characteristics from a checklist that is most likely to be filled by unrealistic traits that you desire most in your potential partner, take the time to get to know your date and then decide if you can accept him/her for what he/she is. It is perfectly alright to have an ideal partner, as long as that ideal does not blind you to the Prince/Princess Charming standing right in front of you.

Don’t fall into the “If it’s meant to happen it will” trap. Internet dating is the way to go and for a limited time only you can get free trials to the best dating sites like Yahoo Personals, Match.com, Chemistry, JDate, Date.com and more. Now get out there and reach for your goal.

10 Dating Site Secrets To Success

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

If only it were that easy, sign up for a dating site and get a date, presto, instantly, pow! Dating sites do make singles life easier compared to walking down the retail strip wondering which women and men are single. If they are on the dating site, you know they are single. Here are 10 dating site secrets to success. Secrets that will make your dating site experience, even easier.

  1. Don’t just try one site, try two. If you really want to try a local site go ahead, but also try one of the best dating sites. Specialty site and best dating site combinations apply here as well.
  2. Pick a screen name that says YOU.  Add numbers 2, 4, 01, 1111 or other characters to help you make the initial impression you would like. Fun2BWith or BlueEyes25 get the message across.
  3. Post multiple pictures as soon as possible. Most dating site members select “show members with pictures only” for searches. One head shot, one head-to-toe picture, and as many others as you can involving your favorite activities (book reading, skiing, hiking, biking, etc).
  4. Take every available compatibility test. While everyone wants to find a date fast, it’s in your best interest to take compatibility tests. You will learn more about yourself, and of course you would like to improve upon your last failed relationship.
  5. Write an honest profile. If 100% of the people read your profile and email you, you will waste your time. Along with your compatibility test, your profile is meant to attract a good match, not just the next available woman or man online.
  6. Don’t rush into a relationship. If you are fortunate enough to receive emails from several potential dates, take it slow. Ask questions online and in person on several first dates. Be careful not to upset anyone, but also be careful not to waste the opportunity to meet several women or men before making a commitment.
  7. Be careful with personal information. Don’t give out your personal information such as your home address or where you work until after a successful first (or second) date. If asked repeatedly, just explain it as being safe.
  8. Meet in a public place. A one hour coffee date can be much better than a planned vacation together if you have never met the person before. Keep it simple. Tell others where you are going and when to expect you back.
  9. If you can’t meet face to face, try a video date using a webcam. You might need to buy a webcam to do this the first time, however, you will use it again for sure.
  10. If someone rubs you the wrong way literally or figuratively, report them to the dating site. The last thing anyone wants is for bad apples to become members.

Start dating online today with a free trial membership to Yahoo Personals, Match.com or Chemistry.com, or JDate.

Safe Internet Dating Sites

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Internet dating sites have made the world virtually a smaller place. It is now possible for people from opposite sides of the world to talk and interact with each other online and in real time. And because it is possible for a single person in the USA to literally meet millions of people through various communication technologies based on the internet, it is no wonder that internet dating sites and matchmaking services have sprung up like mushrooms trying to capitalize on the idea that anyone can find his or her soulmate, wherever he or she may be.

Internet dating is no longer the fad that it used to be. There are many cases of people meeting and falling in love through the internet, not just through internet dating sites but also through other means that provide social interaction among people through the Internet, such as social networks and forums. There are also a number of cases where these two people actually end up together not just virtually but also in real life. This is the wave that internet dating sites ride upon.

But how do you know that an internet dating site is safe, the real deal, and not just some fly-by-night site that promises true love only to disappear the next day? How do you know that you can trust the internet dating sites that you are subscribing to, that the information you submit is safe, and that you yourself will be safe from meeting unsavory people?

There are five ways to determine whether an internet dating site is indeed a safe place to find dates. The first of these is to look at the privacy policy of the internet dating site. You will know that the internet dating site truly safeguards your privacy if their privacy policy and terms of service are peppered with clauses about confidentiality. This means that they will not sell your email address to other companies, they do not let other people access your personal information, and that they assure you that not even the other members of the site will be able to contact you through email unless you yourself disclose your email address.

Another item you should look for when looking at an internet dating site is their screening procedure; that is, if they have one. A safe internet dating site like True.com demands disclosure of a potential member’s full name and other contact details when signing up so they will be able to verify whether this person is married or has a criminal record. Despite existing technology, internet dating is still risky, but a dating site that actually cares to screen its members is worth the money you will pay them.

When you go to the internet dating site itself, are you pleased with how it looks and its usability? Are the links in order or are they broken? Are there a lot of pop-ups and missing images? A well-tended site generally means good screening and matching services. Beware of the FREE dating site trap. Just because a dating site is free doesn’t mean you should trust the site with your personal information.

Lastly, go ahead and check out the members on the internet dating sites. The best dating sites like Yahoo Personals, Match.com, Chemistry.com, and JDate.com offer their services for a free trial period so you do not have to pay them unless you like the site. Use the free trial special offers to check each website out. If the members look like real people – fat and thin, black and white, tall and short, etc – and they have well-written profiles, it is the real deal. If everyone looks beautiful and possessing weird-sounding profiles, stay away.

Be safe, but do try internet dating and find a date online tonight.

Have A Great First Date Without Breaking The Bank

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Most people seem to think that to have a great first date means you have to empty your bank account or max out your credit card just to impress your date and have a great time. A great first date or any date does not have to mean a couple of dozen roses and dinner by candlelight, although that is a very grand and a very romantic gesture.

The idea behind going out on a first date is to spend some time together with someone you like, get to know him or her and have a good time. A great first date does not have to be expensive, it just has to be something the two of you can have fun doing together. Take note that having fun together means both of you like whatever it is that the two of you decided to do on your first date. A first date where only one of you is having the time of his or her life is no good.

Here are some great first date or any date ideas that are certainly inexpensive, but definitely not cheap and yucky.

Date for book lovers:

  • Go to a poetry reading or a book reading by an author you both enjoy.
  • Sip coffee together, either at a coffee shop, your place or at your date’s place and read chapters of the same book to each other.
  • Play a game of which quote came from which book and who wrote it. You can even set it up Jeopardy style.
  • Sit at the beach or in your backyard under the moonlight and recite poems to each other. If you can recite a poem you made up especially for your date, all the better.

Date for movie lovers:

  • Schedule a movie night at your place or your date’s, and then agree on what theme your movie night should be. If the two of you agreed on a horror night, then the movies you ought to watch should be horror and suspense flicks. Or you can agree to watch all the movies that you hated and point out to your date exactly why you hated that movie.
  • There are some places like parks and museums that show good movies to the public for free. You can check out which places in your locale that do just that and make it a point to return the next time they do some showings.

Date for homebodies:

  • A game of Poker or Scrabble. If you want to take it to the next level and do Strip Poker or Strip Scrabble, it is up to you.
  • Spend time in the kitchen cooking each other’s favorite dishes. You can invite friends and family to eat what the two of you have cooked with you.
  • Stargaze.

Date for those who love the outdoors:

  • Go for a walk at the park or the local botanical garden.
  • Go for a swim at the beach or build sandcastles. Make bets on which one of you will make the best sandcastle.
  • Jog or work out together.
  • Pull together a picnic basket and spend time at some secluded or isolated spot.

First dates or any date doesn’t have to be expensive. Great dates can be pulled off without spending too much. And if your first date is based on money, you may set a trend that you can’t afford or top in the future.

Book readings, movies, cooking at home, working out together oh my. It should be obvious that if you don’t match your interests well with your date then these date ideas won’t work for you. Make sure you use any available compatibility matching features the dating sites have to offer. If you need extra help, try a site like Chemistry.com, PerfectMatch.com or Eharmony.com which boast science based matchmaking and compatibility.

Protect Personal Information On Internet Dating Sites

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Always remember to protect the personal information you post on any  internet dating site. It’s important that you go slow, and don’t  disclose things about yourself that you would not disclose to others offline. Common sense right? In many ways internet dating is very helpful. So just be careful out there.

Aside from taking your free dating profile pictures, you don’t have to worry about how you look at the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a bad mood, or just a mean and rotten person, as long as you write a pleasant email or instant message reply. Remember that is also true of  those you will meet on the best dating sites. That very nice single woman or man who you are trying not to lead on, is really into you. Because you do not have the visual cues used in ever day life, it is wise to hold back anything you might regret later on.

So what do you do when someone from a dating site or dating service keeps emailing you asking where do you live, let’s meet today? Don’t be afraid to say “Hey, I don’t want to tell you where I live just yet. We just met online!” If the person doesn’t understand your desire to be safe online, compare their actions to that of someone you would meet offline. Make your decision as to whether or not to continue interacting with the person. Notify customer support of the dating site or dating service if a problem arises.

When you create your free dating profile, it’s important to talk about your interests, your likes, dislikes and some topics of interest. You are in control of your personal image from the beginning. You tell people on the dating sites what you want to know and hold back what you don’t want anyone to know. This is different than being dishonest. Your free dating profile should always be truthful, just don’t put your personal information at risk. If later on you break up (or had a bad first date) with that single woman or man who first replied to your internet dating profile, he or she just might kiss and tell, say something offensive, or become emotional.

Internet dating is one of the highest uses of the internet today. Don’t be afraid, just be safe online the same as you would offline when meeting new people. If you haven’t done so already, sign up for a free trial for Yahoo Personals, Match.com, Chemistry.com, or JDate.com. Have fun!

What To Talk About On Your First Date

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

If a good conversation is the key to having a good first date, what are the things that you should talk about with your date on your first date?

Here are some good topics that will certainly lead to some fun times on your very first date. These topics can also help singles strike up a conversation within an online dating site such as True.com, Chemistry.com,  Match.com or Yahoo Personals. If you haven’t already, sign up for an internet dating free trial and give them a try.

1. Ask your date if she/he has any siblings. This will get your date into talking about her family life and how she grew up. In turn, this will give you a glimpse as to what kind of person she really is. Take care not to ask about her parents though, in case they are divorced, because that will get your date clamming up.

2. Travel plans and travel experiences are awesome topics to discuss during a first date. You will be able to get a glimpse of the world through your date’s eyes and judge for yourself if you like what you see or not. Who knows what you might learn from talking about his travel stories, too.

3. If your first date is in a restaurant, what else could be a safer topic than food and drink. Find out what kinds of food that your date enjoys and check out if you have the same preferences. This is also an opportunity to see if she has any interesting eating habits.

4. And yet another safe topic for discussion on a first date is each other’s job and career plans. Is your date the ambitious sort or is he content with his current job? Maybe you can find some point where the two of you can jive together in this thread of conversation. After all, people love to talk about their jobs, no matter how great or miserable the job is, or regardless of how exciting or routine it is.

5. Get your date talking about her friends. As the saying goes, “Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.” What she tells you about her friends is a huge indicator of what she really is as a person, and these details will be very helpful if you ever get to build a relationship with her later on.

6. Ask your date what he does in his spare time. Make polite conversation about his hobbies and favorite things to do. Inquire as to whether or not he is into sports and what kind of sports he plays. Not only will this get your date exposing more information about himself, it will also give you ideas on what to do for your following dates in case you survive the first date.

7. Find out what your date does on weekends. This is a true glimpse of what her life is like. Also, it will send signals to your date that you would like to see this budding relationship get serious enough for the two of you to spend weekends together.

The idea behind a first date is to get to know your date and to see if the two of you click together. Get your date talking and pay attention to whatever he/she says.
