Review:
Date.com, a popular online personal ads website, has helped bring online dating to the mainstream by providing a safe, secure and convenient environment for singles to meet. All the major media avenues have recognized this trend by featuring Date.com as one of the movers and shakers within the online dating industry.
Date.com isn't about casual dates or quick hook ups; it's about meeting and forming long lasting relationships with other quality singles in a feature rich and cost-effective environment. To take full advantage of what Date.com has to offer, you'll have to first become a member. The membership process at Date.com is short and simple. Date.com has one essay question to help you reflect on who you are, your interests, and the type of person you are looking for. You'll also answer a variety of multiple-choice questions on topics such as your body features, your social habits, your career, and so on. At the end of the sign up process, Date.com will screen your profile to ensure that the content adheres to their high standard of conduct.
Re-launched in 2000 as a subscription service, Date.com now offers both free and gold memberships. If you are new to online dating, then you should consider signing up for the free membership. It's a great way for new singles to experience the dynamic online dating scene.
Free members at Date.com enjoy features such as free profile postings with photos, access to Date.com's powerful search tools, access to members' profiles, and the ability to flirt with members whom you are attracted to by sending them an "I'm interested" message. Statistically, you'll get 10 times more response if you post photos along with your profile.
Date.com offers many search options to help you find interesting and compatible singles. Basic searches, advanced searches, Date ID searches, and keyword searches are examples of the types of searches available to all Date.com members. The basic search tool allows you to quickly browse personal ads based on terms such as age, relationship type and location. Advanced searches allow members to tailor their search based on specific details like body type, ethnicity, religion, etc. Date ID searches are only useful when you want to find a specific member based on their Date ID.
We like keyword searches the most. It's a fast and effective tool to search for certain
keywords in profiles.
You can flirt with an "I'm interested" message or better yet, upgrade your membership to the gold level and send your love interest a personalized email. Let them know in your own words what it was in their profile that caught your eye, the common goals that you may share, and why it deserved more than just a reciprocated "I'm also interested" message. Make it short and sincere, not mushy or lacking of etiquette.
Once you've established a line of communication with this person, you may want to take advantage of the other added benefits of gold membership. Available benefits include one-on-one chats, real time voice communications, access to Date.com's Quickdate search engine, getting top billing in search results, and the changes of being a Date.com featured member.
Quote from Site: The site is adding new members at a rate of 250,000 per month. Thus far, thousands of couples have begun successful relationships through Date.com, with at least 50 marriages taking place during the past year.
Date.com is the work of relationship experts, psychologists and communications professionals. Date.com features a secret matching algorithm, which is as closely guarded a secret as the formula for Coca-Cola. Our matching algorithm takes into consideration basic human traits and the results of years of relationship research. Date.com's goal is to create happy relationships. For example, our formula doesn't set up a pessimistic person with another pessimist. However, it doesn't mean that we will not provide the freedom to choose. We merely make recommendations for happy relationships. It is up to the individual to choose the one he/she likes.
