Dating sites are trying their best to attract customers and to keep them in the site. It seems like the usual gimmicks don’t work anymore, and so the dating sites are going for niche interest points. After hearing about a dating site for food lovers and a DNA-based dating site, we now have a new dating site for animal lovers.

The site, Love Me Love My Pet, designed specifically for those who love their furbabies, feathered, slithery or scaly friends and who would like an easier way to connect with those of like mind.

Love Me Love My Pet was conceived and started out of a small home in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, by husband and wife Tom and Jodie. The O’Brien’s said they saw a need after many of their animal loving friends had difficulty finding their Mr or Mrs Right – simply because they could not find the right person who had the same passion for animals as they did.

You don’t actually have to own a pet to join the site. Animal lovers in general are all welcome in this site. The site presents cute features such as “Paws”, which are greetings you can send to someone for free to indicate you would like to contact them.

If you feel animals and pets are an important part of your life, you might want to give this site a chance. If you feel like checking out more mainstream dating sites, here’s a list of the best dating sites around.

Dating sites can be repetitive sometimes – you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. They all offer similar features – messages, winks, gestures, profiles and so on.

How about breaking the pattern and trying something completely new and a bit naughty?

RedLightSocialCenter.com enables you to create a 3D avatar of yourself, or of your desired self. This virtual-reality site is designed to mimic Amsterdam’s raunchy red-light district. Your avatar can walk freely in many places and interact with the other people around it.

Not surprisingly, most activities in RedLightSocialCenter.com are sex-oriented. This unique environment gives people a chance to interact, flirt, mingle and connect without being exposed until they feel they are ready to do so.

All you need to do is download program that allows you to interact in this dating site. The program is free to download, and amazingly enough, according to the Washington Post, eventrue romance has sprouted from this 3D sexy-scene.

Have fun!

Browsing through dozens of pictures in your favorite dating site, you see a girl or a guy that you like. Now is the time to contact them, and you know what they say – first impressions are the most important! When you write a first message to an interesting person on a dating site, you want it to be written well, and you want the recipient to be impressed by it and answer you.

How do you do that?

OKcupid, a popular dating site, has analyzed over 500,000 first contact messages and came back with interesting conclusions.

First of all, you wanna avoid netspeak, too much weird slang and typos. People tend to ignore messages that are grammatically incorrect.

Another thing to avoid is physical compliments. Yes, for many people it feels weird that you give them compliments without even seeing them. More than that, a “You are so HOT baby” message is almost sure to be ignored by the ladies, because it feels like harassment. The word “sexy” is especially problematic – so save it for when you really meet the person!

When writing a first message on a dating site, you also want to be original and interesting. Don’t go around and copy-paste the same boring, generic message to all potential partners. Read their profile, find points of mutual interest and write about that.
