Personals -- your dedicated matchmaking online dating site for great dating services -- we believe that if you put yourself out there, you'll meet singles you're looking for -- single men, single women, local singles, even a love match. By taking a personal approach to personal ads, you can find a date and find singles for Christian dating, Jewish dating, Asian dating, black dating, gay dating, or senior dating. With our matchmaking capabilities, you can find that unique person who gets what you're all about, quirks and all. That person who says what you were about to say, who isn't mortified when you make a social blunder, whose scent you'd liketo bottle, and whose smile you'd like to wake up to every day. That's why we give you an audience filled with local singles, the tools to find and meet single women and single men, and lots of features that help you find your love match. With Personals as your matchmaker, you can find the kind of first date that lead to second dates and beyond. You still might meet the love of your life at a coffeehouse or gas station. But with Yahoo! Personals, instead of sitting around waiting for that to happen, you'll be getting dates from online dating and having a fabulous time.

Our Online Dating Site and Dating Services

We believe single men and single women everywhere deserve to be with the local singles they're most compatible with, and with the local singles who want the same things in arelationship they do. All of us at Yahoo! Personals are passionate about helping great singles connect more easily with those they'd love to date.

In a culture as busy as ours, the Internet offers tremendous potential for our dating services and for us as a dating site to help you meet singles you might not have discovered. It offers the ease of introducing you to all kinds of dates, whether you're looking for singles for Christian dating, Jewish dating, Asian dating, black dating, senior dating, or gay dating. But great online dating doesn't just happen. To make the most of your time and to help you find a date you're really looking for, we carefully bring together-- like a great matchmaker -- the right combination of singles and powerful tools.

The first step is having enough terrific people to choose from, and that has always been one of the great things about Yahoo! At Yahoo! Personals, you'll never feel like you're walking into a quiet house and calling out, "Anybody home?"

Next, we don't impose one rigid process on you. We respect that your tastes, passions, and interests are unique, and that no one knows better than you what kind of singles you're looking for, or what's best for you. We give you great options and tools to find the single men and single women you're seeking -- on your own kind of online dating terms.

And we don't believe in putting single men and single women through boot camp to find a date. There's enough anxiety and work in everyday life as it is. Our matchmaking approach preserves and creates those real-life moments of serendipity, surprise, delight, and just plain fun that can get singles jazzed. Remember the thrill of meeting singles whocaptured your attention? Then, as you came to know them, you discovered you wanted to spend more time with them. Our goal as a matchmaker, if you will, is to make sure you havemore experiences like this.

Finally -- and very importantly -- our online Personals site believes in making promises about online dating we can really fulfill. We could promise you the love of your life, but in reality chemistry is always something that you and your date have to discover and build. What we do promise is that based on your personal profile, personality, and relationship goals, the local singles you end up meeting for coffee or dinner will be the best matches for you. And when it comes to dating, you can't take a more promising first step.

If we had to compress a matchmaker or matchmaking philosophy into a motto we'd simply say "Better first dates. More second dates." If that sounds like what you're looking for, you're at the right online dating site.
