Date.com - Poplular Dating SiteIf you are considering using the innovations of online dating to help you fill your social calendar, you may find the Date.com is worth a shot. Date.com is an online dating site that boasts over 2 million members of various shapes, sizes, colors and religions, all in the hopes of helping people to meet that elusive special someone. Here is a rundown of what to expect from Date.com as a new member to help you decide if the site is for you.After selecting a username and password (you will need a valid e-mail address to sign up, of course), you simply have to give some basic information on yourself to get started. This includes drop-boxes allowing you to submit your hair and eye color, height and weight, smoking or drinking preferences, what languages you speak, and a few guidelines to help the site find who you are looking for. As with many dating sites, you have the opportunity to “flesh out” your profile by adding a few essays, such as what celebrity you resemble the most, favorite places to go on dates, your favorite music, movies or TV shows, and more. Other optional essay questions include thought-provokers like “If you could ‘do lunch’ with anyone, who would it be, and why?”, for example. The folks from Date.com also highly recommend adding a photo to attract more attention from other singles. Once you get set up, you are likely to want to start searching for that special someone right away. There are a number of options that Date.com provides to help you do so. For instance, you can do a basic search according to location (including a certain radius within whatever number of miles you prefer), people with photographs, or age. If you prefer a more detailed search, use the “advanced search” function to search according to criteria such as body type, horoscope (or Chinese horoscope!), faith, income, and more. There are also quick searches that allow you to view which members are online, who’s new to the Date.com community, people who are celebrating a birthday, and who has viewed your profile. You can also save your searches, allowing you to re-search with the same criteria in the future with just a single mouse click. Once you find the person (or persons) that you want to contact, there are a number of options to help you get to know each other. Even free members can indicate their interest in another member by clicking the “show interest” link from a person’s profile. You can also add people to favorites for quick viewing later on. Only gold members can send e-mails or instant messages, though. Gold members have many other perks, as well. They can also send audio and video messages to other members, they appear at the top of search results, and they also can access Date.com community chat rooms to talk it up with other gold members! Another element that helps to complete the Date.com online dating experiences is Date.info, which is the “Webzine of Date.com”. Date.info provides users with articles, tips, and success stories from the sister site, Date.com. There are useful advice columns with strategies for online dating or even meeting other singles in the offline world. There are also specific columns regarding such subjects as attracting women at bars, or gay and lesbian dating. All in all, Date.com provides an experience for all types of singles to enjoy and take advantage of. With a large selection of members and a wide variety of search and communication options, Date.com is not a bad place to start for those interested in online dating.
