eHarmony is offering a new promotion where you can get 50% off of the 6-month subscription. To take advantage of this, enter the promo code GET50OFF when signing up for the six month subscription. For many of us new to online dating, six months may sound like a long commitment. However, with a promotion like this (where the price drops to about $29.95 a month), there’s more reason to give it a try.
If you don’t already have ...

Online dating scams are something that are happening all the time. I would say that most weeks I receive emails from someone who is dealing with a scam, sadly it’s often after they’ve already sent money to the scammer.
In the past when I wrote on identifying online dating scammers, I often concentrated on the fact that scammers would ask for money. My advice, which I still believe, is that if someone asks you for money through an online dating ...
Continue Reading →There are many areas of things you should avoid in your dating profile. One thing I really try to push people to do is to stay positive, but unfortunately many of us guys can wander into some negativity when we write our profile. And, in addition to staying positive, we want to be interesting! Today I want to talk about a few common approaches that guys take with their profiles and why you should avoid them.
Also, be sure to check ...
Continue Reading →eHarmony is having another free communication weekend for folks in Australia from today, Sept. 5th, through Tuesday the 9th. Our last post on this mentioned the fact that eHarmony seems to have free weekends rather frequently, and that is holding true here, with this coming just a month after the last free weekend for Australia. I’m not sure if they tend to have them more frequently in certain geographical areas, but I wouldn’t be surprised if ...

While I’ve talked quite a bit about eHarmony’s free weekends in the US and Canada, this is the first time I’m hearing about a free event in Australia (although I strongly suspect there have been many before this).
If the free weekends work for ...

I recently spilled my guts about my online dating hesitations and the first relationship I was in that came via an online match-up. To date, I have only met three men in person after meeting on the internet. Yes, I am that stubborn about meeting people online, plus I have had equal, if not better, success in the tried and true, old fashioned finding-dates-through-friends-and-hobbies approach.
Anyway, two of my online dating first dates became relationships, and the third was ...

The creation and subsequent improvement of the Internet is an amazing thing. We can go online and pay our bills, shop for groceries, talk to our family and friends, and even try to get a date. Many busy people have turned to the Internet in search of love or a single conquest with no strings attached. In fact, there are dating websites for almost every type of person. There are even sites specifically for one night stands (or as the ...

While online dating is becoming much more common, I can’t help but sense the stigma still attached to it. This is why, as a mid-twenties, motivated and very social woman, I felt absolutely ridiculous making my first profile on a free online dating site. I have lived in a college town for the last 7 years… great to meet people, but it becomes very small, very fast! So when the “people” I met were all exes or dates of friends ...

Several dozen reasons exist why somebody who did respond to your initial message would suddenly stop chatting with you, and there are equally as many ways you can handle it.
Brad, “the dating advice guy” who has created this site, has a full section on this in his free Online Dating Guide, so I won’t bore you with repetition. I will, however, tell you from a first-hand standpoint about a few very specific situations that I have dealt with, ...

We are not talking about a “plenty of fish in the sea” type reference. Catfishing is the slang term created to describe the situation where an online relationship has been happening for a significant amount of time, but the two parties have never met in person (nor have they Skyped or had other real-time interaction to ...
