Dating is always going to be local. Though the sites you sign up for could have people from all over the country, all over the world even, you are only going to be interested in the girls in your state, city, or even neighborhood. To do this, you have two options. Signing up for a hyper-local site, or using a local newspaper is one option, but this is limited. The other option is to use the bigger sites and use their extensive search tools to narrow down your search to only the local girls for you.

Local Research

When you start searching for online dating sites then start by just looking for dating sites that focus on your part of the country. These do exist. If you live in Las Vegas, for instance, you can definitely find local dating sites, either as stand-alone sites just like any other dating site, or as part of some other local site, such as a newspaper. Local newspapers are obviously good places to start your dating adventure if you are looking to post locally, and often these sites are the top local classifieds websites.

The Best Local Sites

Of course, the best top local classifieds websites for you are going to depend entirely on where you actually live. However, I can give you are quick rundown of a few sites that I like and that either have specific forums for different parts of the country, or have such extensive coverage and great search functions that they almost act as the best top local classifieds websites.

eHarmony

OK, so it is likely that you have heard of eHarmony. It is the biggest sites out there, and for that reason you should give it a look. It might not seem like a great local site and it can be tempting to shy away from the big sites, thinking that there will just be too much competition on such sites and you will be drowned out. That kind of defeatist attitude will make sure that you do not get any dates. These sites mean that you can find a lot of women really close to you using their search features. These types of sites are definitely the ‘go big, or go home’ kind of sites. You have to make sure that your profile is the one that is going to stand out from the thousands of others on such a site and the one that all the women want to read. To do this you have to come up with a memorable profile that sticks in their head. My best tip for doing this is going quirky. Come up with a strange, funny profile that the ladies will actually want to read all the way through and you can bet that they will be emailing asking for more.

PassionSearch

This is one of the best known sites on the web, and for good reason. PassionSearch has cornered the market in data-centric dating. That is, it looks to collect as much data about you and all the other members as possible and then use that to recommend people to you based on what other people like you like. Another quirky feature of PassionSearch is that you can set your own questions for potential partners rather than having to rely on predetermined questions as on other sites. This means that you can get a really good idea of individuals and whether they would be a good match for you or not. This kind of personalization is the key to quality online dating and success for Americans on personal dating sites. You need to set up your profile or ad to be apart from the crowd as much as possible so that any member of the site who sees it does not just blow right past it, but rather stops, reads, and most of all, remembers. These questions allow you to do just that, with the added bonus that they mean you can start a conversation easily with anyone that answers the way you would like.

Match

OK, so it is likely that you have heard of match.com. It is one of the biggest sites out there, and for that reason you should give it a look.

I was sitting alone on another Saturday night trying to figure out if I wanted to order out of just stick in another microwave meal when it occurred to me that there has to be something better out there than being alone all the time. I know that there are many options for meeting people, but unfortunately, either I don’t feel adventurous enough, or I just find the whole thing creepy. Instead of trying something new I have always opted to play it straight and go the traditional route. The thing is that obviously it hasn’t worked for me. All of my friends have all been paired up, long ago in fact, while I sit and wait for Ms. Right to come along. Although I am quite sure that if she were going to come along, she has and has left already, I don’t want to spend my time here on earth alone.

She is waiting on personal ads…no seriously

I have resorted to hanging out with a set of guys who all are in the same boat. You probably already know all of us, or have people in your life who are exactly like us. There is the guy who just wants to sleep with anything that moves, but no longer can because he burned all his bridges. Then there is the guy who is too awkward to be around so he just lives with his mother. I also have a friend who is the guy who makes your skin crawl because he has the social skills of, well of nothing. Finally there is, me. I don’t know who or what I am. All that I know is that I have no had it lucky enough to be lucky with girls.One of the guys in the group came by for football night the other night and told us that he was having some luck trying new things. Of course we all pretended not to listen and called him a loser, but I know that we were all hanging on the edge of our seats. The prospect of being able to find someone to connect to is something we all crave even if we don’t want to admit it. What he was talking about was something called adult personals.We all have heard of Craigslist and have pretty much written it off. It is chalked full of personal ads to find women but what it really is, is nothing more than a scam, or a place to find prostitutes. It isn’t that I think I am too special, I just refuse to pay for sex. The thing about it is that I want sex, but ultimately I want to find someone to have sex with more than once, maybe even on a continual basis. If that is going to happen, I am not going to find her on an escort site. That is what I thought of when he was talking about adult personals.Insisting that we all first of all stop laughing and making fun of him, he quickly clarified that adult personals are not about going onto Craigslist and finding a hooker. Adult personals are something that you can find on specific sites on the internet. There are all sorts of adult personals that allow you to get in touch with women across the nation, or even just next door, to meet up and have a good time with.

Adult personals really can offer you what you desire

Adult personals, he told us, allows you to window shop through the internet to find girls who are just what it is that you are looking for. Set up like a dating site, they have profile pictures that go along with profiles that talk about who they are, and what they are looking for. The most convenient way to date, he said that he really has had some luck. Let me just stop there and preface the rest of this by saying that of all of us “losers” he is by far the biggest. That led us all to start really thinking about whether adult personals are something that may be good for us too.I kept my mouth shut for fear of ridicule but if I can be honest with you, the minute that everyone went home I was on the internet searching through all the adult personals sites (from this website) to find the one that I could really think about hoping on. To my surprise there were hundreds to choose from and none of them scared me or made me think that there was anything creepy about it. There were beautiful women on the site that all had the same stories that match up with how I feel.Most of the women on adult personals are just looking for someone to share some time with. They aren’t looking for a husband, unless that is what you are looking for, and they aren’t looking to scam you. Most of them are professionals who just don’t have the time, or the desire to go to the bars and be a piece of meat anymore. They have found that hoping online and saving their time for those who really seem worthy is the best way to go.I finally found a site that I thought had women who were similar to me so I made a profile and did a trial membership. I was very fearful of rejection or being scammed, so I took it very slow and decided that whatever happened, as long as I didn’t get my hopes up I would be okay. After all, it couldn’t be any worse than being shot down in a bar and it certainly couldn’t be any worse than another night sitting on the couch alone eating frozen food on a Saturday night.

a loving couple

Not lucky through traditional ways, very lucky online

I am happy to say that I was able to meet a woman, in fact ten women over the course of the past several months who I have had the pleasure of spending time together with. They have all added some fun to my boring and lonely life. I will never look down on anyone who wants to try something new and I especially won’t ever say anything but wonderful things about adult personals. They were just the thing that I needed to find love in my life.
