Why us?
There are lots of extra features available to our full members - all designed to help you find and make new friends, be it for a relationship or friendship.
Winking: this fun feature is a tongue-in-cheek way to say hello to the new friends you're interested in, with no commitment.
Recommended members: this feature creates a personalised list of matches based on the profiles you visit, who you wink at and who you add to your favourites.
Detailed searches: as a full member you can search our entire list of other members by a wider range of criteria, such by postcode and distance.
Send messages: contact other full members and read the messages in your inbox.
Instant messaging: chat direct with other members who are online at the same time as you - ideal for instant feedback and building rapport.
Upload a current photo: if your computer has a built-in webcam you can take a digital self-portrait and upload it to our website straight away. We'll time stamp it for you to show other members it's a genuine recent photo. Upload up to nine pictures.
Upload a video profile: show members the real you by telling them a little about yourself and what you're looking for.
Technical support: our team of website experts are ready to take your call.
With all these additional features, Yours Dating is a far more exciting place to find new friends and partners, as long as you make the most of them!
Safety & Security
Enjoy safety and security with Yours Dating - a safe place to meet and chat online. Here's a reminder of the golden rules everyone should follow to make Yours Dating as safe a place as possible.
- 1
Passwords: Choose a password you can easily remember but that would be difficult for anyone else to guess. Childrens' names are memorable, but just as easy for someone who knows you to guess, too!
- 2
Personal information: Yours Dating has a wonderful messaging system built in, which means you don't need to give out any personal contact information at all until you're happy to do so. Don't be afraid to tell a new friend that you'd rather stick to talking online for a bit longer. If they're genuine, they won't have a problem.
- 3
Scammers: If someone you barely know asks to borrow money or asks for any sort of financial details whatsoever, alarm bells should start to ring. You wouldn't expect someone you met in the pub last week to ask you for money, and you shouldn't expect it online either.
- 4
Personal safety: If you do plan to meet a new friend, always stay in control. Meet in a public place, tell a friend or family member when and where you're going, and arrange to call them at a given time to confirm all's going well. If your date is worth their salt, they will completely understand.
- 5
Don't panic! The vast majority of people you meet online will be genuine people just like you who are simply looking for a date or friendship. Unfortunately, it's best to plan for the worst and then allow people to prove themselves otherwise. Don't let the occasional dodgy character spoil your enjoyment.
