Gay dating guide

Here is our advice for getting the best results.

  1. Choose the right screen name

    Your screen name should be original so that it attracts attention. Don’t rush it because you won’t be able to change it afterwards.

  2. Choose the right photo

    A profile with a photo receives 10 times more visits than a profile without one. Take your time and choose your photo carefully as it’s the first impression site members will have of you.

  3. An original and convincing personal ad

    The more original your personal ad is, the more likely someone is to notice it and contact you.

  4. Use the search functions

    Carry out general rather then refined searches. Don’t hold back. Contact other members, don’t wait to be contacted.

  5. Write short messages

    A short message is more likely to be read, especially if it’s the first time you contact someone. Don’t hesitate to ask questions at the end of your messages to encourage a conversation.

  6. Personal details

    Do not give your telephone number or your e-mail address during the first conversation. Never give very personal information (full name, address, place of work…) before meeting the person.

  7. Get to know the person before organising the first date

    Ask to see several photos of the person in different places and/or situations. Do not hesitate to ask a lot of questions, and be suspicious if you feel the answers are not genuine.

  8. First date

    Choose a well-lit and busy public place. Tell at least one person about where you are meeting and how long you’ll be there for. Give this person some information about the person you are going to meet. Trust your instinct: if you have a bad feeling, leave as soon as possible.

  9. Use protection!

    Don’t forget that a condom is still the only way to protect against AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
