eHarmony.com vs. Match.com
You may find that many of the same people are on both sites, but the features each offer can differ. Match has a larger data base, but eHarmony boasts their ability to match your personality traits. Price wise, Match is less than eHarmony, but there are differences on their contracts and prices. Google both, do your home work, and don’t sign up for a contract longer then a month to begin with. Feel them out and see which one suites you the best.
Online Dating Tactics
In my book, “Stories From the Dating Trenches,” I offer several tactics on how to best take advantage of online dating, how to pre-qualify and speed up the screening process, safety tactics and more. Be sure to check out this essential dating manual and this site’s past dating blogs for other “intel.” Here are some pointers that are sure to help:
- Keep all communications online through the dating website. If you’re dealing with a scammers, they’ll want to get you off the site ASAP so they aren’t traced and tracked by the site.
- Always meet in a public place for the first few dates. You don’t want a psycho knowing your address or if you live alone.
- Arrange for your first meeting to be brief, such as a cup of coffee. That way if he doesn’t turn out to be what he said he was, or there just isn’t any chemistry, you can get in and out of the date in a flash.
- Never give out your home phone, only your cell. A home phone could be traced to an address, but a cell might be able to be blocked. Check with your carrier to see how to block your home address from your cell phone listing.
