Watch out for Fuzzy Math. Many sites advertise based on how many members they have. The fact is membership can vary geographically. Some sites may have a large overall membership but fewer people in your area. Where as some have a smaller overall membership but have more people in your area. This is why we suggest you do a search in advance of paying any fees to see how many members are in your area. Searching Match.com Remember, there are hundreds of new and free online dating sites popping up every year. It’s our opinion that some of these sites can be a good secondary choices but your primary choice should be a large, established, proven site. Our top online dating choices below are well established heavy advertisers. There is one main reason why we recommend these establish sites over new ones. It’s because lots of advertising equals lots of members and more members equals more choices for you. One last suggestion before reading our reviews, after you have chosen your primary dating site consider joining other secondary dating sites. There are two reasons for this; 1) Get all the exposure you can, it can dramatically improve your odds of finding the right person. 2) Singing up with a smaller Niche Online Dating site in addition to a larger site could help you find someone that is a better match with your personal interests, values or ethnicity.

Get Noticed. Exposure, Exposure, Exposure. You can dramatically increase your odds of finding someone by having your profile on more than one dating site. The reviews above are great choices for your primary dating service. On the right we have listed some good secondary sites to check out. >>>
Good Photos. Having a good photo is the most important factor in your online dating success. We highly recommend having your pictures professionally taken, it will set you apart from other profiles. If you are in the Columbus, Ohio area we have a great photographer you can hire. Well Written Profile. The second most important factor is a well written profile. Try to concisely express who you are and what you want. Don’t write a novel, try to keep it short and to the point but not too short, that would appear like you don’t care. You can hire our coaches to help you write a good profile. Get a Coach. Consider getting a dating coach, it can dramatically increase your success with online dating. Coaches can help you in writing your profile, which pictures to use and overall support in a process that can be at times be hard. We have some great coaches that are available by phone no matter where you live. Contact them now and get the support you need. Guard your identity. Until you know you can trust the person you are e-mailing and then dating, do not make your personal information available to him/her. Take it slowly. Online correspondence creates a feeling of intimacy very quickly. You may feel like you know someone or can trust them too soon. People don’t always tell the truth. Just because it is in his/her profile does not mean it is the truth. The same is true for the pictures he/she has posted. Keep alert for inconsistencies. It's a good idea these days to do a background check before you start getting serious in a relationship. Records Access is a site where you can do almost any type of background check at a reasonable price. Always meet in a public place. Until you know more about your new friend and are sure you can trust him/her only meet in a busy public place. Tell a friend details. Make sure a friend knows when you are going on a date with someone new. Listen to your instincts. If at any point when corresponding or dating someone new you feel pressured, decieved, uncomfortable or in danger, get out! Have Fun. Even though you need to be careful with online dating don't forget to have fun. Try not to be only focused on the end result, if you have fun along the way dating can be alot more enjoyable. |
