If the dating world is all-Greek to you, literally Greek to you, then here’s an opportunity to meet other single Greeks online. You don’t have to be Greek to join, but GreekSinglesConnection.com remains one specialized singles site that seems to attract mainly Greek members. What a great opportunity to make connections with a nice Greek man or woman. It certainly can’t hurt to try it and the online personals route lets you avoid those awkward blind date setups by family and friends. It’s better to be the master of your own destiny than leaving it up to your Aunt Aphrodite. Goddess of love she’s not.

Start by filling out a profile. Although, I have been at times critical of sites for not making enough fields mandatory, I found on Greek Singles Connection that enough people were conscientious about filling out their details. Although, you still run into the occasional Curious George who randomly typed in a bunch of meaningless characters. However you choose to present yourself, you can always go back, add more details, and even express your true colors by taking a personality test that will color-code your account based on your type of character.

“I always say you need to be able to try any of these specialized sites out before you commit”

Fill out the information in the site’s matchmaking system and when completed, assign a percentage value of importance to each individual factor in comparison to all the rest. For example, you might think you’d like to meet someone with blue eyes, but that might be only two percent of what you need in someone ideal, compared to him or her wanting a large family, which might rank as 25 percent of the ideal package. Once your answers are in place the system will email you resulting profiles that have a high-level of compatibility with the criteria you’ve selected.

I always say you need to be able to try any of these specialized sites out before you commit, as is the case with GreekSinglesConnection. Visitor numbers are lower than other mainstream sites. You can browse through all the member descriptions, send free flirty smiles or ecards showing interest in someone. You’ll be able to read all the message boards, which definitely give a taste of whether this virtual community is for you.

If you see that it’s right for you and take the plunge, when you sign up to the premium membership you can chat live, send and receive e-mail, participate actively on the message boards as well as use instant messaging. Greek Singles Connection has perhaps seen a decrease in site traffic since both parties need to be paying members in order to communicate. At any rate, the monthly fee has remained quite competitive.
