Datingtips

Tango42 does its utmost to provide a fun space and a platform where you feel secure to meet new and friendly people. To get even more out of it, we like to help you with the following datingtips, so you'll have an even more exciting time on this site.

Your profile
Don't give out any personal information, such as your real name, (email)address and/or your phone-number, actually, for your own security Tango42 won't even allow this. Try to fill out the profile as honest as possible. The more you tell about yourself, the better chances are that someone is really interested in you and will react. Also do this in your search-profile; fill it out as comprehensive as possible, you just will have better chances to end with a great match. It pays off to use all the possibilities Tango42 has to offer; changing the order in the profile and picking a style will make you stand out and make it more personal. Others will notice.

Submitting pictures
The placement of nice pictures is highly apreciated and advised by Tango42. First you will notice you'll get much more response, people do like to see whom they're interacting with. Secondly it will avoid dissapointment in case of an actual meeting (in the end, only beautiful words will not do).
Please note: you absolutly don't have to be a covermodel to be attractive to the other party, for most people it's much more important that you have a smashing personality.

To prevent embarresement: try to place the most recent photo's as possible of yourself. Likely your date will run away quickly, if you don't resemble the photo's from ten years ago.
People who are putting 'fake- pictures' are usually caught out quickly. It wil irritate and frustrate people who are seriously looking for a nice contact. In the end you are only fooling yourself.

Contact
Within the safe enviroment of Tango42 there is a wide array of ways to contact eachother, so do use them! You can also use the chat within the site, so there is no immediate need to hand out your IM-address. Chatting is often a pleasant and fast way to get to know eachother. When you are feeling comfortable with a member this way, then you could propose a phone-call. Voice and the run of the conversation will tell you a lot about the other.

Dates
At the first date it is best not to have any expectations. Presume that you are going to meet a nice person, with whom you are going to share lots of fun, so be yourself and enjoy!

For the first date make sure that you are meeting in a public place with lots of other people, like a restaurant, a shopping mall or even the zoo will do. Be sure to go on your own accord. Never let the other pick you up.

Notify friends or family about whom and where you are having an appointment and let them know the personal details including the phone-number of the member. Also make an arrangement to call them after a certain amount of time to let them know everything is OK (and don't forget to do so, otherwise they will be worried).

In case you are still feeling insecure, just ask a good friend to come along with you. Let your friend stay closeby, for instance: let him or her sit on a table in the vincenity where you are meeting. If your meeting feels romantic and you want to have a more intimate conversation, you can always 'signal' your friend to take a walk around the block.

Don't feel obligated, when things don't work out, just tell in a friendly manner that you are leaving.
Make a few appointments this way, untill you really get to know someone. Before, don't go with someone or hand out any private information like your address.

If despite all the precautions, you still had an unpleasant experience with a member, please notify Tango42 at all times, by means of our 'panic-button'.

If you're having a swell time or it is love at first sight, well...Tango42 wishes you all the fun and happiness in the world!

Kindest regards Tango42
