Someone recently pointed out to me some very interesting dating videos on YouTube. I watched quite a few of these and have to say they’re very interesting. I disagree with some of the advice given, but there are so many people interviewed I guess this is to be expected.
One video I really liked was about safety when dating online. The advice here was good and I really like the advice given regarding dating people who are closer to you (it’s [...]

Thinking of interesting and unique date ideas can be difficult. Sure, you can find some good ideas if you look long enough online but even many of those end up being something less than interesting or unique.

Recently I found myself reading some commentary in a forum where the person was stating that they believed no one should ever pay for online dating with all the free services available. As frequent readers of this site know, I am a big fan of taking advantage of free dating sites with my personal favorite being OKCupid. Still, my experience and the experience shared by singles I talk to suggest that this person’s argument has one big flaw.

This is a fun way to find dates but it is more than that: it also removes much of the pressure of creating your online dating profile and [...]

Recently I was talking with a woman who was looking for an online dating service but she had a strange requirement: she wanted a service where non-paying members would not be able to see her photo. As I told her, the only site I am aware of that hides photos from non-paying members is eHarmony.
Most Services Do Not Like Hiding Photos
Many dating services do not want to have photos hidden because these photos can convince other singles to sign up. [...]
