Imlive.com Review and Membership Statistics

Do That Photo! I'm sure you know that statistics show that people on Internet relationshipsites are 10 times more likely to look at a profile with a photo than one without? No matter how compelling your personal description is, if you don’t post a photo, or post one that doesn’t accentuate all your best qualities, it could be the roadblock to getting the kind of responses you want. Which is why having the best possible photo of yourself on your profile is so very important.

When posting your photo:

• DO add a current photo of yourself to your profile.
  
• DO smile.
  
• DO submit a clear photo with good lighting.
  
• DO add a second photo of you in another pose for added variety.
  
• DO tell which person you are if you submit a picture of you and your friends.
  
• DO submit your picture in jpeg format.
  
• DON'T submit a picture of yourself and your former boyfriend/girlfriend. If you're looking for a new partner, submit a current picture of only yourself.
  
• DON'T submit a picture that has an obvious “cut-out” of another person in the photo — it sends a less-than-positive impression.
  
• DON'T get too close to the webcam when taking your picture – if you do, the picture will appear grainy and fuzzy … you don't want that!
  
• DON'T submit pictures of yourself that are suggestive or sexual in nature.
  
• DON'T submit a photo that does not clearly show your facial features.
  
• DON'T submit your old high school or college photo – current photos only!

Get Over Rejection! The ultimate definition of the human condition: to love oneself and another. Part and parcel with love, however, comes another human circumstance: rejection. Of love. Of another's attention and desire. This happens. To all of us.

We are rejected. We reject. We learn from our misguided actions, and we gain new awareness of self. We learn the lessons of life and love and become wiser, stronger and truer to our "self." We move on.

I myself am currently experiencing a love lesson: I have felt love for another and have been rejected. My heart has been profoundly broken. My self wounded. In coming back to my true self and rebuilding my courage, I, in hindsight, realize that were I to have taken the TRUE Compatibility Testway before becoming involved with this person, who is so obviously and unequivocally not my ideal partner, I might have avoided this deep heartache, dreadful pain of my spirit and soul or, most certainly, would have realized immediately, in lieu of too late, that I was not in a love situation but instead in a very wrong and inappropriate liaison.

I love you. Three powerful words. Three words that can send you soaring to the heavens or catapult you into the darkest regions of your heart.

When you truly, honestly, openly love another person and say I love you, it is absolute joy and pure bliss. It is personally empowering and enlightening. You know your self. You have a healthy, realistic, honest, adult self-awareness about you and your true self. You know that living your best life and maintaining a healthy self-esteem are all about choices. About making choices that improve and better you as a person and a human.

Choosing an Online Dating Service

The internet has literally thousands of online dating services. These include world wide or global dating services to meet singles from any country, of any religion, and any ethnicity; nationwide or international personals to find singles in your country; local online dating services to locate singles in your area; interest based matchmaking services to locate people with similar interests; ethnic dating services to meet people of a particular race, culture, or ethnicity; religious dating services to find singles with a specific religion; lifestyle dating sites to find romance with singles that have a similar lifestyle, such as gay and lesbian; and hundreds more unique and niche free online dating services. With thousands of internet dating sites, and new online dating services everyday, how do you find the right online dating service for you? Here we provide some advice and tips to help you find your perfect match for an online dating service.

Consider how much you want to settle down.

Someone just looking for fun and dating, and a few friends to go out with on the weekend, should not join a dating service that only brings people together for serious relationships. For example, eHarmony uses sophisticated personality testing to match singles for love and romance, whereas, Americansingles has no testing, but lets members meet other members for friendship. If you are very serious about finding your perfect match, make joining a site with in-depth testing (lifestyle, personality, relationship, intelligence, values) of members a priority. Sites with in-depth testing include eHarmony, Date.com, and Tickle. See the Quick Search box on Undate.com to find online dating sites that offer intelligence tests, relationship tests, value tests, personality tests, and lifestyle tests.

Choose online dating services that provide communication mechanisms you find comfortable.

Dating services offer a variety of features to let single men and women communicate. While some only offer anonymous email, others provide icebreakers, 1-on-1 chat, forums, games, phone, and many more features. If you have trouble expressing yourself in a letter, but love to talk on the phone, don't choose a dating site that only provides emails between singles; look for an online dating site with 1-on-1 voice, phone, or voice greetings. Undate.com allows you to search for dating services that offer the features that interest you most. Use the Quick Search box or the Online Dating Sites Features page to locate that dating services that have the features you want.

Pick an internet dating service to match your lifestyle.

When singles complete a profile to describe themselves, they often indicate their ethnic background, religious background, sexual preference, and other lifestyle and background information. Some dating services, such as eHarmony, ask for an extensive list of background information, while others provide little of no background information; they rely on single men and women learning this lifestyle information through other means, such as email. If you lead a very religious lifestyle, choose an online dating site that caters to your lifestyle, or has a large population of singles males or single females that match your lifestyle. For example, if you want to meet and date single women over 50, don't join an online dating service primarily consisting of young professionals, rather look for a site that caters to single women or single men over 50. Undate.com makes it easier to search for dating services that match your lifestyle. Use our online dating service list (datinglist) to find singles with similar lifestyles, religious beliefs (Christian Singles, Jewish Singles), and ethnicity (African American Singles, Asian Singles). You can also find singles with particular ages; for example, locate dating services that list college students.

Meeting offline - Timing sexual intimacy.

Do not assume that your views on when to introduce sexual intimacy (whether it's kissing, fondling, petting, intercourse – or more) into the relationship are identical to your partner's. The only way to know how your partner feels is to discuss your values as they relate to sex.

The different kinds of sexual intimacy.

Kissing:
Whether hot and passionate, slow and gentle, dry or wet, quick or long, shallow or deep, kissing is a major source of sensual, sexual pleasure. It is the most acceptable of all premarital sexual activities.

Fondling:
Touch is the most basic of all senses. Physical contact is the most powerful way we communicate intimacy, union, tenderness, love and a myriad of other emotions.

Heavy Petting:
Stimulating one's genitals with the hand is usually considered more intimate than fondling, but not as intimate as sex.

Oral Sex:
Over the past couple of decades, there has been a growing acceptance and popularity of mouth-genital stimulation. Many consider it not as intimate as intercourse, and some mistakenly think that it is a safer sex behavior and opt to engage in it for that reason.

Intercourse:
Intercourse is often considered the ultimate union for couples and is therefore allotted more intimacy than the other behaviors. Attitudes and emotional connection define what you perceive to be the ultimate sexual experience.
