A Great Experience on Match.Com

Match is an online dating website that target to matching singles with matching partners. It is one of the oldest online dating sites for singles who want to find meaningful relationships. I joined Match.Com when I was looking for a life partner. Being one of the oldest dating sites, I figured I had more profiles to choose from due to their large number of profiles. This also meant that I had a higher chance of meeting the woman of my dreams. I signed up for membership and subscribed for a three-month membership.

Websites layout

The Match.com website has a colorful layout and easy-to-use search features that allows one to find their match easily. This is in addition to many magazines, newsletters that have informative information on dating and advice columns that have guiding information on dating that are on the website.

Signing up

For me to access the Match.com website, I had to sign up. This entails filling up a number of questions regarding my personality, and that of the person I was looking for as a partner. While I was filling the questionnaire, I understood it is important to be as honest as possible and detailed about my personality and the woman I was looking for. The questionnaire is used to match you with the most compatible partner and therefore it reduced the time it took to find a matching partner. I had many women who matched what I was looking for and it took a short time for me to set up a date with them. I was able to chat with them before the meeting and we connected and made it easy for the meeting.

Membership

Due to its enormous membership, Match.com has many women to choose from. The more the women, the higher the chances that you will meet someone who fits your profile. Since signing up would not allow me to communicate with my matches, I took a three month subscription which is minimum duration for subscription. This allowed me to view the profiles of the women I was matched with, to send them emails, and to chat with them. I received a good response rate since most of my emails were responded to. The women were beautiful with great personalities and they were looking for love just as I was doing. I was also able to see who had viewed my profile.With just being a member, I could only search for matches, create a profile and post a photo and send winks. This is in addition to general mobile access and receiving text alerts for winks and emails.The monthly subscription is affordable and in case you would like to unsubscribe, the site provides assistance on that area using their customer service. I learnt that the only condition was to inform them earlier about your need to unsubscribe. This would prevent you from being billed automatically for another 3 months.You can also unsubscribe by clicking on the ‘account’ link on the website and follow the instructions.After one month, I had met a number of women whom I was compatible with and I only needed to decide whom to date. I therefore needed to unsubscribe from the service after the three month. I informed them a bit late and I ended up paying for another three months, the fault being mine. This is unlike other dating sites that make it difficult for members to unsubscribe. They want to keep on charging you until you complain to the credit card company.

Contacting members on Match.com

I could only contact my matches after subscribing to membership although sending the first message to my matches was free. I contacted them through anonymous emails as directed by the network and most women responded. I also connected with the single women faster with instant messaging. We were able to know each other better before making the decision to meet.I could also get alerts from the women using my mobile phone. This was through texts that used to alert me when I was winked, emailed or updated for an event.The charts were exciting with the women who were available for chat although I had to be a subscribed member to use the service. That way, we were able to know each other better before the meeting.

Benefits of using Match.com to get a date

There are many benefits of using Match to look for a partner. The website match makes people with their most compatible partners. I found this interesting and time saving since I only communicated with the people whom I was compatible with. I also realized that for those who are very busy to go to every profile or portraits, there is a professional matchmaker. The matchmaker saves time since it matches you with your most compatible partner.For an additional fee, those who have not been on the dating scene for long could get assistance on how to get ready to date. This is by using Dr. Phil’s MindFindBind. The program also assists on information of how to find a perfect person and how to bond with them overtime. The site also keeps the names and contacts of the members confidential. This is until the member decides to share the information with a match. I am skeptical about sharing my personal information with a stranger and this helped me a lot. I did not want my information to go to third parties. Since the site does not allow for explicit images, it looks more mature and somewhere I could meet my future wife if all went well. I also learned that profiles and photos are screened before posting them into the site. This ensures that the members do not post bad photos and bad profiles.I managed to get many dates using Match.com and I even have prospective women whom I would like to continue dating for a while before settling on one. The site does not have fake profiles and many women are real looking for love.
