Are Dating Sites Worth Your Time?

July 7th, 2007

Though it might seem like online dating is the hottest trend on the planet, the real question is whether or not it actually works. You might see commercials about how certain dating sites have helped hundreds of couples get together and thought that their numbers sounded pretty successful to you. However, when you stop to think about how long some of these sites have been in business, it doesn’t seem to come out to a lot of success overall.

But is that the fault of the user or of the online dating service itself?

The answer to this question is unclear, but it can be debated on both sides. First of all, if you don’t try to meet people through the online dating site, chances are good that you probably won’t. If you’re not writing a strong profile and you’re not attempting to meet people in real life, you’re probably not going to find love. On the other hand, if the online dating site doesn’t help you find new people or it doesn’t have a lot of people using the site, you have to wonder if this site is really hoping that you will meet someone. If they’re not giving you advice or making it easy, you may be starting out at a disadvantage.

Are dating sites worth your time? Absolutely. But just as with any commitment, both sides need to work at it.

Another Freebie for Online Daters

May 3rd, 2007

If you’ve been looking for love online, but only finding expensive dating sites that just aren’t filled with quality people, maybe you need to look at IamFreeTonight.com. While it’s still a growing dating site, it’s certainly perfect for this fast paced world in which we live.

With the ability to schedule dates within minutes, this offers people with busy schedules the perfect opportunity to find dates for when they are free rather than trying to maintain a longer term relationship over email chats. By posting your schedule, you will be matched up with dates in your area that are free in those times, allowing you both to conveniently date.

So, if you schedule is booked for a while, but then you suddenly have free time, you can post this free time on the dating website and be able to match up with others that are looking for dates. Or you can scan the listings of other singles to see if anyone else is free.

Users can also choose from a variety of activities that they would like to do and this further helps make planning a date a breeze. Instead of going back and forth about what the other wants to do, you put into the site what you want to do, when you want to do it, and then wait for a reply.

Can it get any easier than that? And since this site is free, you can use it as much or as little as you need to.

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

Online Dating Success

July 26th, 2006

Are you having trouble getting any good bites on your profile? There could be any number of reasons why, from your picture to your description to your dream date themselves! Following is a series of tips to USE for your profile to increase the traffic and generate interest…in YOU!

Use a current, clear, well lit photo.

There is nothing worse than reading a creative headline only to click on it and find a dark picture. What do they look like? Could it be a match…in disguise?

Take the time to find a good picture. If you don’t have one, get a friend with a digital camera, or heck, even cell phones take good pictures now, and snap one off. Check it to make sure you are in focus, can be seen clearly in the light of day and not night and there are no obstructions to your face.

Having an outdated picture or one that is too dark, unfocused or too far away may take away potential matches. They might think you aren’t sophisticated enough to master a simple picture and give up when we know it isn’t true! Take a few minutes and check out YOUR picture. Is it up to snuff? Will it bring in hoards of girls or streams of guys? It should!

Next time: If you are overly picky with what you want in a match, you will get less results than you expect.
