Dating is not an exact science and you may find that you contact, or are contacted by, a number of people before you find the one that you connect with. We have a large and growing database of members all displaying their personal profiles, many with picture profiles.
We met here is one of a large number of online dating sites. You may have registered with more than one dating site in your search for a perfect match. The increasing number of dating sites shows the growing popularity of looking for love online.
It is our firm belief that there is a perfect partner out there for every person. Finding a date online is one method of searching for that person. More people are creating personal profiles and as membership grows, the chances of finding your ideal mate increases.
Below are some general safety tips for dating. Your safety is important and this advice applies, not only to online dating, but whether you meet someone on a night out or after being set up on a blind date. Online dating is no more or no less safe than any other form of dating and we hope you take sensible precautions. If the person you are in contact with is genuine then they will fully understand and may also be following similar guidance.
Never feel pressured into doing anything too quickly. Take things at a pace that you are comfortable with and similarly, don't force your date to go at a pace that they are not comfortable with. Respect each other as relationships are based on trust.
Don't disclose any personal information until you are truly comfortable with the person. Use the in built messaging system at first, before exchanging emails, phone calls, letters or agreeing to meet.
Always use a recent and realistic picture of yourself on your profile. Remember the golden rule. Relationships are based on trust. You are looking for someone to love and cherish for the rest of your life. They will accept and love you for who and what you are. If not, they are not worth knowing and the relationship is certain to fail.
If you meet your date in person and they do not look like any images on their profile or any photo they may have sent you, then back out of the relationship. If they have deceived you into meeting them then they are not trustworthy.
If you agree to meet someone, tell a friend all the details you have about the person and let them know all the details of the meeting. Let them know that you'll tell them when you are back home.
If possible, agree to meet your date in a group setting. Alternatively arrange for a friend to be close by to keep their eye on you in the background.
For the first few dates, always meet in busy places, in the centre of town. Never agree to go anywhere until you truly know them. Never meet in a hotel, their home or a remote place.
If your date has their own transport, then don't agree to them picking you up or transporting you until you are comfortable with them and are sure you know and trust them. Never on the first date.
Don't get too drunk. Keep your wits about you – you can still have a good time. Never leave your drink unattended. Don't let your date go to the bar out of your sight to get you a drink.
Take your time in getting to know your date. It's not a race – you have the rest of your lives to get to know each other. Don't rush or be rushed.
If you are in contact with someone abroad, then proceed with caution. Don't agree to go to ther country until you are ready. For your first date, agree to meet in a neutral country on a holiday. If they are pressuring you into coming to their country then back off. Do not agree to send ANY money to them for ANY reason.
There are plenty of people out there. Don't panic yourself into dating the first contact in case it's the last. It won't be the last so wait until you feel that you've met the right person.
Trust your instinct and trust the advice of your friends. Your friends know you better than you imaging!
If your date is not very forthcoming or sound like they are avoiding answering questions then be wary. True love is based on openness.
If they look or sound too good to be true then they probably are.
Remember, on the internet not everyone is who they say there are. There are a number of scammers who post on many internet dating sites. Some people are out to dupe you. Follow all the advice above and back away any time you are uncomfortable. Never be pressured into anything.
Finally, don't be put off by this page of information. There is someone out there who will love you dearly and you will cherish in return. It may take time to find them. You may find them on this web site or another web site or you may find them by other means. They may live close by or they may live half way around the world but they are out there. Enjoy yourself and your dating experiences. For every scammer or creep there are many genuine people in the same boat as you, all looking to find someone special.
Good luck. Keep us informed of your successes, even if you didn't find your partner on this site.
