IOL Dating

If you think that online dating is a showground for the socially inept or those who can’t quite master the bar-scene, think again. Internet dating is on the rise in South Africa across a wide, trendy demographic. If you can find a job or a holiday online, why not a partner? Instead of having to go on a million-and-one dead-end dates with dreary people you have nothing in common with, why not anonymously browse a huge database of potentials and check out their profile before you meet them?

Negative stereotypes are a thing of the past. It is all about how you go about dating online. Dating online provides you with the control. You can tell people what they need to know and when you meet them in person you can make sure it is a safe public place – you can even take friends!

Becoming a member is quick, easy and, best of all, free. If you are not already a member, Join Now! If you have already joined, head on over to My Matches, where you have the best chance of finding the one for you. Alternatively, use the Quick Search on the right, try an advanced search or simply browse through the latest profiles.

Remain anonymous for as long as you like: Online dating – by a woman

I was a bit sceptical in general to try Internet dating but a friend told me that someone she knew had tried and had met some really interesting people – So I went for it. At first I did not have much luck because I did not put a profile picture up and I waited for men to contact me. Someone else suggested that I do the searching and contact men first. The moment I started looking around and not just reading the one-liners from guys out there, it became another story entirely.

I have actually met someone really nice online and we met in person after only 3 days. It's been going really well so far. I have also made some new friends, which is always nice. I think that you shouldn't wait too long before actually meeting someone. That way, you don't build up an expectation of who they are before you meet them. It also gives less of an opportunity for people to pretend. I am really impressed with IOL Dating.

Thanks for the great site
