Beautiful Black Dating

A great way to meet black singles in your area is to use an online dating site. There are loads to choose from and some specialize in black dating, so that it will be easier to find the person you are looking for. Of course there is usually a good race mix on many online dating sites, but I just find it a lot easier to use a black dating site. Today I am reviewing BlackDateLink, which is one of the top online dating sites.

The sign up process at BlackDateLink is really easy. All I had to do was fill in a few basic details to register for free. I could then add more details about myself, so that my future dates could see whether we could be a good match. This is easy to do as there are simple boxes to fill out and you can check your interests and what kind of relationship you are looking for. There are all kinds of people on the site. Some are looking for a casual fling and others are looking for a long term relationship, so whatever you desire, you should be in luck. It is a good idea to fill in as much info as possible in your profile, so that you do not end up wasting time chatting to people you are really not suited to.

You then have the option of uploading a photo. I really recommend you do this step, as you will get far more people contacting you. Would you contact someone if there was no photo? Choose a nice, clear photo of yourself and of course make sure it is flattering. First impressions count!

The good news is the site is very secure and your details are safe and protected. Plus their virus prevention software is regularly updated.

Once you have added your details (such as whether you smoke, drink, have pets etc) you must confirm your registration. This is simple to do. You just click a link in your email. This process ensures you really want to join. After this is done you can begin browsing profiles.

This is the fun bit and I was amazed at how many people were online. There were thousands of profiles to browse through and many people were from my local area. That was a real surprise to me. Once you start browsing profiles, it is hard to stop. You can chat with people online to see whether you have chemistry and you can leave people messages. I was amazed by how many messages I received. I got way more dates than if I had been going to bars.

If you are worried about safety then it is easy to get to know someone very well before meeting, which you may wish to do. You should also (with all dates) let someone know where you are going and when you will be back. That is just common sense.

Once you have checked out all the free membership has to offer you may want to consider upgrading. However, you can certainly use the site for free to start with to see whether it is for you.

All in all I was really pleased with this site. I was amazed how many people were in my area and I loved the live chat feature. When I had a question that was not in the FAQs  I contacted support and they were incredibly friendly and helpful. I give BlackDateLink top marks!

This week I am reviewing the Number 1 ebony dating site online, FindaEbonyLover.com. The site is really popular and therefore has lots of members’ profiles for you to browse. I am surprised by how many members were in my area looking for dates. It is always nice to have a choice! Even before I registered I was able to see how many black singles were online from my area. I could view photos and see who had been online recently, to see who is active on the site. It certainly wet my appetite. Once I signed up, I was able to see all the peoples’ profiles from my area and browse through their info. Plus I could chat with these people online to see whether we had chemistry.

I set up my basic profile for free. The registration was really simple. It is just a matter of entering your name, email and date of birth and then confirming your email. You can then go ahead and create your more detailed profile. It is a good idea with any datinig site to add as much info as possible. The more information you provide about yourself the more likely you are to get lots of messages from black singles in your area. Of course if you just want to get online and start browsing you can write a basic headline for yourself (eg, attractive journalist seeks younger woman) and a brief description. Make sure you go back later though and fill out your profile properly.

You then click Create Account and that’s it. Your account is created. You will be taken to a billing page which explains membership options. Here you can sign up for a free 3 day trial with all the benefits of full membership, or upgrade straight away to begin chatting with hot, ebony singles and arranging your dates and hook ups.

The other option is to click at the bottom of the page where it says members area. A free membership is quite limited, but you can check out black singles profiles in your area and even begin chatting. The site tells you whether someone is online. It also tells you how many miles away they live from you.  I upgraded after the first day, as it was so much better and good value for money. Once the ladies saw I had upgraded they obviously realized I was serious and I started to get a lot of messages.

I added my photos and more information about myself. Uploading a photo increases your chances of getting a message by 85%. You probably wouldn’t contact a woman who didn’t have a photo up after all.

Other features of the site include the ability to send someone a ‘flirt’. This is a way of showing them that you are interested, without sending a full message. They can choose to send you a flirt back. You have an Inbox, where you can check all your messages from women, as well as any admin messages with updates etc. If you don’t want people to see you are online then you can choose to go invisible. A handy feature if you are editing your profile.

You can also add favorites, add people to your little black book, which will show you when they are online. You can also block people you want to avoid. You can upload multiple photos of yourself (the more you upload, the more responses you will get), chat in the chat room and check out who has viewed your profile. Of course you can update your profile at any time.

After joining you will receive a welcome email with instructions on how to use the site. You probably won’t need any help, as the site is self explanatory and very easy to navigate. I was amazed at how many gorgeous black women were online at the exact time I signed up.

The money I paid to join the full membership at FindaEbonyLover.com was well worth it. When I compare it to all the money I would have spent going out to bars and clubs trying to meet women. You can always choose a free membership to start and then upgrade later.

For women there is a good ratio of  men to women, so it is a great site to join. So far I have been more than happy with my membership at FindaEbonyLover.com and will continue to use it for many dates in the future. Perhaps I will even meet Ms Right.

If you have committed to finding a partner in 2010 (or perhaps just some hot hook ups) you may well have realized that online dating is a great way to go. Not only do you save yourself the embarrassment of getting knocked back by women/men in bars and clubs, but if you are not the clubbing/bar hopping type you can still meet loads of people online in your local area.

My favorite thing about black dating sites is that I can browse through potential dates profiles and see whether we are suited before making contact. Not only can I see their appearance (whether I am physically attracted to them), but I can also learn about their likes and dislikes and whether they are looking for the same kind of relationship as me (casual or serious). Plus as I use African American dating sites I know that we will share cultural similarities and I don’t have to sift through hundreds of profiles for a black date.

The best dating sites will match you with people who you are likely to get along with, so if you are looking for a casual fling, you won’t have to go through profiles of people looking for marriage and babies.

So once you have signed up for a black dating site, you will need to create your profile. This is a bit like an advert for yourself. Here are my top tips to get plenty of responses:

1. The most important thing is to be honest about what you are looking for and your personality traits. Make sure you post a nice photo of yourself, but don’t be silly and post a photo from 10 years ago, that would be misleading. Most sites allow you to post multiple photos, so choose the best one for your main profile pic and then add others to show more of your personality. People with more photos will receive 9 times more replies from potential dates.

2. Fill in your profile 100%. Yup, the more info you add the better responses you will get. Make sure you answer all the questions honestly. Of course be interesting, but be yourself.

3. Never swear or use bad language in your ad. Even if that is how you usually speak, it will make you look stupid in your ad and who wants to hook up with someone rude?

4. Be positive. Even if you are feeling a little down on your luck be careful not to appear bitter or negative. This will put people off. Make sure you have some photos of you smiling. It has been proven time and time again that people are more attracted to smiling photos of the opposite sex.

5. Once you start receiving replies always reply to your messages promptly. Do not lead people on if you are not interested, let them move on to someone else.

If you put a little effort into your profile and are committed to getting more dates in 2010 you will be amazed at the amount of responses you get.

If you want to get started right away, why not set up your free profile at BlackDateLink.com.
