SingaporeLoveLinks.com
Popularity:
Type: Singaporean Dating
Platform: Website, Android App
Based on our research, we find SingaporeLoveLinks is one of the most popular Singapore dating sites, which means you may more likely find your ideal date on the site than on many other similar sites.
You can choose to be either a free member or a paid member.
If you decide to be a free member, you can contact paid members, but not other free members. This is a reasonable option if you just want to browse the site or currently have a very tight budget.
Paid members can contact both free and other paid members. The membership fee is small, compared with your "overall dating expense", including items like movie tickets, dinners, etc. But such minor cost may greatly expand your dating circle, and dramatically improve your dating experience. Some singles also think becoming paid members shows their interests and efforts to find the right dates, so they may be considered more desirable matches, with significantly higher response rates.
After you join the site, we suggest you perform three tasks:
1. Complete your profile thoroughly. This not only lets your potential dates know you better, but also makes you look more real and trustworthy.
2. Upload as many photos as possible. Photos are critical for other members decide whether they want to contact you or not.
3. Login to the site on a regular basis. Your ideal match may be waiting for you on the site during your next visit!
