Copenda, the revolutionary social people search engine that allows people to search for their soul mate or new friends in social networks and dating web sites. Their complex algorithms crawl semi-structured data from multiple social networks and online dating sites such as Myspace, Bebo, Facebook, hi5, friendster, match, plentyoffish and more.

More and more people are using the web to meet new people and communicate with their friends. The main places people use to meet new friends or look for dating are social networks and online dating sites.

One of the major problems in meeting new people in social networks is that users need to scan and dive deeply into the profiles to initiate a connection for relationships or dating. Although many users use social networks for dating purposes, the social network user experience is not suited for this purpose. Online dating sites, on the other hand, are designed for this purpose but suffer from low status among the younger generation.

Copenda uniquely integrates an innovative user interface with dating site features such as personality search and social network features such as ranking, comments and tagging.

Check it out!  What have you go to lose?  If Copenda can make like a little easier by pulling all your online accounts into one convenient location for dating, this could be quite a time saver for you.

Short and sweet – if you introduce him to the kids after you’ve decided he’s the one, it’s to late.

At least that’s my opinion!

Having been a single mom most of my kids lives, I’ve had many people share their opinions and views on when to introduce guys to my kids. Most people believe you need to date for a while and determine if this person is long term material before making the introductions. I disagree!

Here’s why –

First of all, your kids are just as important in the decision making as you are – in fact, their views may be a little less biased than your own. They may recognize flaws or characteristics in the guy you may not see because you have such high hopes of hanging up your single and dating hat.

Secondly, if the guy and your kids don’t click, it might not be worth the heartache of getting involved – or at least you’ll be aware of the potential red flags going in so you can tread more carefully.

I’ve dated guys in the past that I introduce to my kids near the third date. We chose someplace public and fun so they could interact casually but still enough for me to determine whether or not I wanted to invest time and heart into growing the relationship.

What do you think? When do you think the kids should meet your potential love interest and what argument do you bring to support your belief?

Christopher Farah delves deep into a place most people who’ve ever had an online dating profile have been – wondering if something better is just beyond the next click…

When you’re sitting next to the “perfect match” does your mind wonder across the keyboard and just this side of the next click – questioning whether or not there is a more perfect person out there?

When should a person stop checking their profile? When should you make the decision to settle for what’s in front of you? And when you do, how will you know it’s not just settling?

Anyone?

No doubt about it – times are tough. Online dating sites are flooded with singles who have found themselves victims of tough economic times – but does that make them any less loveable?

According to a recent survey by Match.com, of 2,700 members, 71 percent said they would still date someone who just lost their job.

If you find yourself in a transitional period in your life and in between jobs, perhaps investing solid time in a proven dating site like eHarmony.com might just give purpose to your professional downtime and a leg up on your love life.

Several months ago I read an article that included the 5 most common mistakes that are made in online dating profiles. I kept the breakdown of that poll to reference and thought this would be a great place to share it.

The top five most common mistakes seen in profiles that are known to cause would be dates to click on by are, in order of offensiveness:

51% Not checking spelling and grammar
23% Writing about exes
13% Including other people in the photo
10% Trying to cut other people out of the photo
3% Choosing the wrong gender preference

What about you? What could a person do to their profile that would likely cause you to keep on clicking by?
