PersonalFling: Join the Official Online Dating Site and Meet Singles

Dating sites ask for personal details and sometimes for payment, and fake copies of them are easy to set up.

So how do you know you are on the real PersonalFling site, and what should you do once you are signed up?

In this article, we’ll show you how to join PersonalFling, create a profile and start chatting safely with other members.

The official PersonalFling site is at personalfling.com. Before you enter your personal or payment details, check that the address in your browser matches it exactly.

Fake sites can use web addresses that look almost like those of real dating services. If the address is anything other than personalfling.com, close the page and don’t sign up.

Before you sign up, check these four points:

You must be at least 18 to use a dating site. If you are younger, do not create an account.
Look at which services are free and which cost money, and read the price before you choose a paid option.
Check whether your membership renews automatically. If it does, you will be charged again without doing anything.
Find out how to cancel before you pay. Knowing the steps now saves you a charge you did not plan.

Your profile: the details that help other members decide

Add a profile picture so other members can see who they are talking to. Then fill in your interests and preferences.

These details tell other members what you enjoy and what you are looking for, so they can quickly see whether you have things in common.

Do this before you send your first message, so the people you write to already know who you are.

Keep your home address, your birth date and your financial details private, in your profile and in your chats. Show your age instead of your birth date. Why? Any member can read a profile.

Before you publish, look at your photo too. A street sign, a work badge or a house number in the background can reveal where you live.

How do I search member profiles by location, age and interests?

To find people who fit what you’re looking for, search profiles by location, age and personal interests. Start with the location, since it shows members who live near you.

Then set an age range and pick a few interests, such as hiking or cooking, to narrow the list.

Keep the filters broad at first. If you set too many at once, you may see only a few profiles, so change one filter at a time until the results suit you.

PersonalFling works for both kinds of contact. The location filter sets how close the people you see are. Keep it close to home if you want to meet someone nearby.

Widen it if you’d rather chat online with members farther away, such as someone in another city. You can get to know that person by message before any meeting is on the table.

Chatting and connecting with members in a private space

Once you’re registered, you can browse profiles and send messages. Open a profile that interests you and write a first message to its owner.

Keep it short and specific, and mention something from their profile so they know you read it.

Your conversation stays in the site’s private space. Replies come back to the same place as your messages, so you don’t need to leave the site to keep talking.

You can also talk with other members in four other ways:

Instant messaging: you write back and forth with one member in real time.
Chat rooms: several members talk together in the same conversation.
Video profiles: a short video shows others who you are.
Member blogs: members publish posts that you can read to get to know them.

If a member makes you uncomfortable, stop replying and block or report them right away.

Keeping personal details and money out of your conversations

Never send money to someone you have not met in person. Requests for travel or emergency money, money transfers or cryptocurrency investments are warning signs, even after weeks of friendly chatting.

Never give a match your money, financial details, banking credentials, address or date of birth. If someone asks you to receive or transfer money, stop replying.

Before you pay, read two documents on the site. The privacy policy tells you what personal information PersonalFling collects, how it is used, and whether it is shared.

The membership terms show the price, whether the plan renews automatically, and how to cancel. If you suspect fraud, for example an unexpected charge, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre online or by phone at 1-888-495-8501.

Can I use PersonalFling on my phone as well as my computer?

Yes, you can use PersonalFling on your phone as well as on your computer. All you need is a web browser, the app you use to surf the internet, such as Chrome or Safari.

Open the browser and type personalfling.com in the address bar. Then follow the same steps you would on a computer, wherever you are.

Your account is the same on every device. Log in on your computer, then on your phone, and you find the same profile, the same photos and the same settings. Nothing needs to be set up twice.

Your messages work the same way. A chat you started on your laptop is still there on your phone, so you can pick it up later.

Got a reply while you’re out? Open the site on your phone and read it.

First, check the address. It must be personalfling.com. If it is anything else, leave the page. Keep your home address, birth date and money details private, and never send money to someone you have not met.

Your next step: go to personalfling.com, sign up and add a photo. Then send a short first message to someone whose profile interests you.
