What’s HOT in a cold, cold winter.

Dating is a tough business… for a lot of people.

And I don’t mean the it’s tough for the guys that own the dating services, but for the single people that have to make the choice of the right dating service and the effects that joining a dating service that just “isn’t right” and sours them on the whole “online dating thing” because of it.

Online dating is more or less a catalogue of people seeking people… singles seeking singles… but there are so many catalogues (dating services) to choose from where do you start?

Start with the dating services that are new and fast rising because of their great features.

Anyone can be a Facebook member, use online speed dating… but really, you get the sincerity of a wet duck looking for a dry, heated room.

To prove your sincerity of being single and, at the very least, looking for new people to hang out with and maybe do stuff with, is a much harder endeavour.

Sure, the Match.com’s of the Internet can get you introduced… but is that introduction of any value to you?

Sure, plentyoffish.com can also find you some people in your neighborhood… but are the values of a free service user the values of a person that is looking for more in a partner?

Dating is tough.

I invite you to email me your success stories and your disappointments for publication.

Help others by clearing your conscience of those bad dates or maybe by telling us about your online dating success.

I, of course, am my own online dating success story, having me my wife some 10 years ago and now married happily 8 years.
If I can do it, you can too… and I hope to be the type of a website service that can help you find dates, find some magic, find love online.

October / November

Filed under: Interesting Topics — Tags: , , , , , , — alovelinksplus @ 5:08 am

It’s been a few months updating and all I can say is busy, busy, busy.

The Internet is busting at the seams not only with a whole host of crappy new “free” dating services but some really good ones too, sadly these new interesting dating services don’t offer much in the way of membership, as in how many members they have at the time of my visit, so I have to wait… wait… until there efforts in drawing more members makes the dating service reviewable.

I have also noticed a lot of action in the “video dating” sector. A few well thought out serveices are trying to make a go of video only dating, or by being a back-end video dating technology (plug-in) for other web sites to incorporate into their services.

That will make things interesting just as Userplane changed in a way that chat can be offered on websites, maybe video will follow suit.

I see that the “Lemontonic” dating service model (being a premium service using the Microsoft IM as the backend servivce) has collapsed, and now they are pushing a “Badoo” membership based on the free with advertising model. Too bad, I liked Lemontonic.

Ahh well, hopefully in the next few days I will have some suitable websites to review and post for you… and hopefully won’t have a layoff of so many months between posts. Happy Halloween!

Welcome to April

It seems that we all arrived OK.

The first “PerfectMatch.com” contest has been completed and I am still waiting to confirm the winner. A free 90 day membership at PerfectMatch.com is a great way to start 2008, right?

I’m hoping to have more great prizes for upcoming contests announced soon. Stay tuned.

It’s been a tough week, personally… but at least we have good old St. Patrick to celebrate. I’m going to search for some Irish dating services and see if I can find any worth telling you about. Watch the “New Sites” page for reviews http://www.alovelinksplus.com/dating/newsites.htm
