Dating tips!

With over 5 million users, DatingDirect.com is a truly fantastic way of meeting new singles! However, in order to maximise your chance of meeting someone special, you should follow a few simple tips:

Tip no.1: Complete your profile as soon as you join!

We provide a detailed profile template for you to complete - The more information you give in your profile, the more often you will be contacted.

  • - Fill in all sections of your profile. If you don't want to give an answer to a particular question, select 'I'd rather not say' instead of leaving it blank.
  • Write a personal ad: this is your opportunity to make your profile really stand out from the others.
  • Display at least 3 photos of yourself: photos complete a profile, and help show that you are genuine about meeting people.

Tip no.2: Be active!

Don't wait for someone else to make the first move! It's simple: the more people you contact, the better your chances of meeting someone.

  • - Contact a different person spontaneously every day.
  • - Log on regularly (active profiles appear first in other members' search results lists).
  • - Reply to all the messages you receive: even if you are not interested in the person who contacted you, be polite and let them know.
  • - Find your points in common by creating your own Test and inviting people you like to take it.

Tip no.3: Remain polite and courteous

DatingDirect.com has a team of over a hundred people in charge of monitoring and moderating the site - the moderation team deal with any complaints and take appropriate action against any offending members.

As a general rule, the moderation team will remove a profile from the site after receiving three or more complaints from other users. Any profiles deleted under these circumstances are not eligible for a refund.

Lastly, you should know that 80% of our members have met someone on DatingDirect.com, and around 80% of our members recommend us to their friends or family as a great way to meet singles. Based on our experience in online dating, we can virtually guarantee that within 12 months you will meet someone special on DatingDirect.com!
