I’d Be More Thankful If This Were for Real

November 22nd, 2007

In my ideal world, you could order up dates as easily as you can order books on Amazon.com or movies on Netflix.com. Here’s my dating dream.

I’d like a site where people can post other people they know who are looking to date. By filling out a form about what they like, these people would get sorted into different categories – artsy, athletic, etc. Then, after they have dated someone or you have dated them, you would leave feedback on the site or rank them with a star or point system.

By the magic of computers and ranking systems, the dating site would then recommend other dates based on dates that you ranked well in the past. For example, if you seem to like going on dates with athletic guys or gals, you might get shown a list of singles that fit with your interests – “Based on your interest in Mike2014, here are some other dates you might like…”

This would make things all the easier, wouldn’t it?

Instead of poring over the lists of singles that are available, you could go to your recommendations and pick out the ones that appeal to you. And whenever the website didn’t match you up with someone that you liked, you could simply say ‘Not Interested’ and then further refine your dating recommendations.

Of course, I would also make sure there was a way to keep track of the singles you want to contact – much like the cart or the queue system. How perfect would that be?

Do I have something to be thankful for? Are there sites like this out there? I haven’t found the perfect site yet, so if you have – let me know!

100% Free, But Will It Work?

November 12th, 2007

Just like every other week, there’s a new dating website to explore. At Mingle2.com, you can meet thousands of singles in and around your local area without having to pay a penny. Of course, that’s what all the dating websites say, so what does this site have to offer that the others don’t?

First of all, the opening page of Mingle2 is very easy to read and to navigate. The top of the page sends you right to a link to sign up, if you like, or you can browse a few dating profiles right on the home page.

If you just want to try it out, go to their sign up page where you can sign up in 60 seconds (or less, depending on how fast you type) and start looking for a date for this weekend.

There’s a community forum where you can interact with other singles, or you can go the ‘normal’ route by posting your picture, some details about yourself and what you are looking for – and then wait for people to contact you.

Is it a successful way to date? If you’re looking for a risk free way to jump into the world of online dating, this is certainly a good place for you. When you’re just beginning to reenter the dating world, it seems like Mingle2 has a full range of prospective dates from the younger college set to the long out of college singles.

But only you can try it out and see if 100% free adds up to successful dating.

Do you have any comments, complaints or something to say about Mingle2.com? Did you meet someone special on this site? If so, we’d love to hear from you. Your opinion matters!

Another Vote for Online Dating?

October 26th, 2007

Just when you thought you had enough questions to answer on an online dating site, SelectSmart.com and Vajoe.com come along to ask you about your political affiliation and ideas. These online sites are taking the main idea of online dating and matching you up with the best candidate for you – rather than matching you up with someone to spend your Friday night with.

Okay, so you’re not going to find the love of your life, but you are going to answer questions about what you feel about abortion, immigration, taxes, same sex marriage, etc. This is going to help decide which candidate right now should get your vote in the next presidential election.

But, in a sense, you are trying to set up a ‘date’ with the next presidential election. You want to know what the candidates have to offer before you make your final choice. And if you’re not sure what you want, these websites can help you pick the right person for your beliefs and your current living situation.

Even if you have no idea who is running or what they stand for, you can get an inside look at their ideas and beliefs to help you start making up your mind.

Your love life doesn’t have to stop during the election year, but you might want to think about other candidates for your country too. Your love life can wait for one night. Online dating apparently isn’t just for love; it’s for matching up with the right leader too.
