Why Choose NZDating?

Top 5 reasons why NZDating's better:

It actually is free

Unlike other sites claiming to be free while not allowing free members to communicate, NZDating's mail system, messageboards, photos, etc. are all available to free members

It's bigger

NZDating has by far the largest number of New Zealand users of any dating sites - the more members, the more choice, the more likely you'll have a great time meeting new people just like you.

It's more fun

Some dating sites claim to be the place to find someone to marry. At NZDating we say the best relationships come from having fun making lots of friends - meanwhile 'the one' often magically appears!

It's tailored to you

NZDating believes people's individuality is special, so rather than forcing the same strict set of rules on everyone - we believe you should be able to make your own choices about what you like seeing (or not seeing).

It's Kiwi Owned and Operated

NZDating is a local family business that genuinely cares about its community - not some multi-national media company more focused on its shareholders.

I want to tell you that I have met a terrific guy, he's sweet, generous and very loving, and of course I met him through your agency, it's a miracle. Ok it's early days, but I am very very happy, and so is he. Thank you for helping to change my life - Pauline

How To Get More Profile Views and Responses on NextWink

by NextWink. com. au

To help you get more out of NextWink, I put together this Tips list. Feel free to let me know if you want to suggest something that is missing in this list. It may end up in this list and the credit is given to you by linking to your profile here.

1. Upload a photo.

Profiles with photo(s) are always displayed first - ordered by the time of activity on NextWink. If your profile has photo(s), your visit is guaranteed to bump your profile to the top of NextWink home page.

2. Be proactive.

Don't expect you can get tons of winks or messages by just creating an account and leave it. Search members or find your matches on My Matches page, and then send a wink or a short message to get the ball rolling first.

3. Log into your account more often.

The time of your last online activity is used to show your profile on various pages with most recent visits listed first - no matter whether your profile has a photo or not.

The time of your last online activity (accurate up to the second) is also shown on your profile. A recent time means you are still an active member on NextWink and so more likely members would contact you.

4. Rate members photos.

After you rate a photo, an email is automatically sent out to notify the member that you have rated his/her photo and the member is invited to visit your profile.

This is the opportunity to express yourself in various aspects and topics. Communication is the key to relationship building. Forum discussion is a many-to-many communication and can be very effective.

6. Write a better About Me in your profile.

Don't put "Ask me and I will tell you" - it's boring and tells nothing.

7. Use colour, bold, italics. to format your About Me section in your profile. This makes your profile stand out.

8. Don't set your Message Rules too narrow. Getting some messages is better than getting none.

I wish you good luck on NextWink.
