online dating

considering our busy lives and that the majority of our time is spent on the internet, online dating sites have been one of the primary ways to meet new people. i read that 1 out of 4 internet users participate in online dating and…frankly, i’m not surprised.

there are many dating sites out there and many factors to consider (free, paid membership, members, niche, etc). so when it comes to deciding which online dating site(s) you should join, it’s helpful to compare sites to find what’s best for you. i decided to take a look at Dating Services, which is a site that compares different dating sites, gives dating tips, links to many topics/sites around dating and more.

what i like about this site:
- gives you a thorough guide to online dating
- provides article on different dating topics (christian dating, speed dating, etc)
- comparison chart showing dating sites’ features, # of members, etc
- advice is up-to-date and relevant to readers

how this site can improve:
- comparison chart needs to-
a) include more dating sites (match.com, plenty of fish, e-harmony, etc)
b) easier to understand (key legend)
- make articles less text-heavy and easier to keep readers attention
- better interface so its easier to navigate and pleasing to the eye

overall, www.dating-services.net is a good starting point on getting info on online dating.

in the next few weeks, i will be presenting ‘ultimate guide to online dating’, a video guide which breaks down the stigma, mystery, and the dos and don’ts of online dating. basically, i’ll give you the ‘ins’ of getting dates and how to score high on them.

I’m old-fashioned. I think people should get off the computer and do stuff! Meet real live people who have the same interests, and you don’t have to wonder what they REALLY look like in person =)

i’m an advocate for online dating…i’m a women of social media. plus it’s not that strange to meet people through this medium. i’ve met tons of awesome people online (networking, partners, dating).

there’s sites like http://www.meetup.com, where you can attend live events to mingle with people. check that out

i’ll share my stories soon…
