How to find your Perfect Mate!

    So, you're single and want to meet someone, huh? Then you've come to the right place! We've searched out the best FREE services and ideas you need to find the exact mate or date you're looking for.

    Online dating or singles sites can be an incredible source of finding other like-minded singles who may be looking for someone just like you. To be successful, all you need is a strategy and some common sense.

    The first thing you need to decide on is what characteristics of a mate or date are most important to you. This will help you choose a site that specializes in singles that match your desires.

    The most common preferences and best sites to consider are the following:

• General dating: Open to all people everywhere, such as PhotoIntros.com, Friend Finder, American Singles and Yahoo! Personals. If you prefer to use a matchmaking service that matches your interests and desires for you, you'll want to try eharmony.
• Sexual orientation: Usually limited to gay, lesbian, and/or bi-sexual members, such as GayIntros.com, Out Personals or LesbianLoveFinder.com.
• Physical size: For BBWs (big beautiful women) or BHMs (big handsome men) and their admirers, such as BBWFinder.com.
• Religious preference: For Jewish, Christian, etc. singles such as MenschFinder.com, ChristianAtHeart.com and Big Church.
• Senior citizens: For singles over a certain age, usually 50 or 55, such as 50PlusPersonals.com and Senior Friend Finder.
• Racial preference: For singles seeking interracial (black/white) dating such as LoveIsColorblind.com or same race dating such as BlackDateFinder.com. There are also sites focusing on other races/nationalities and their admirers, such as AsianMateFinder.com and LatinoDateFinder.com.
• Special interest: Includes such things as sports fanatics at ActiveDateFinder.com and uniformed (military, police, firefighters), etc. such as LoveInUniform.com.
• Adult oriented: For singles seeking physical encounters, such as Adult Friend Finder.
• Adult fetish: Includes B/D, S&M, feet lovers, etc. such as Alt's BDSM & Fetish.

    Now that you know which niche is most likely to include members with like interests and desires, you'll want to join as many sites as you can within your chosen niche(s). This will greatly increase your chances of success and won't cost you anything since we only recommend sites that offer FREE memberships.

    Now that you're ready to sign up with your chosen list of sites, you need a strategy for getting the attention of other singles you are most likely to be interested in. For best results FreePhotoDating.com recommends the following:

• Pictures: Several good quality head and full body shots always get substantially more responses than text only ads.
• Headline: Use a headline that sounds attractive and real.
• Honesty: Be honest about who you are and what you want.
• Completeness: Say as much as you need to in order to make your point. Being vague tends to work against finding quality matches.
• Language: Always use appropriate language and check your spelling and grammar. People who misspell words, especially words such as "intelligent" or "educated" tend to be ignored quickly.
• Geographic preference: Be clear if you have one. No one wants to start up a conversation only to find out they live too far away from you.

    Okay, we've all heard horror stories about people meeting via the internet, so let's talk about safety. Here are some basic rules to help you avoid the majority of dangerous situations:

• Name: NEVER put your full name in your ad or in a message to another member. You can tell them your last name AFTER you've met and feel comfortable with them.
• Address: The same as above.
• Email address: Don't give out your email address. Use the dating site's internal messaging system.
• Phone number: Speaking over the phone can be a great way to decide if, where and when you want to meet someone. Just be careful about who you give a number to and what number you give them. Remember, once they have it you can't take it back.
• Meeting: Always meet in a busy, public place. And don't let anyone follow you to your car unless you've already decided you like and trust them.
• Back-up security: Leave a message with a friend including where and when you are meeting someone and give them the information you have to identify the person you are meeting. Then tell the person you're meeting that you've done this.
• Background Check: If you really want to know the truth about the person on the other end of your messages, you can do a background check here.

    If you follow all of the above your chances of meeting someone who makes you happy will be greatly enhanced. By sticking with the sites listed on FreePhotoDating.com you should have a lot of fun until you meet that one special "one."

Good Luck & Happy Dating!
