How long has your organization been in existence?
We have provided a high quality traditional introduction service for over eleven years. Although we are new to the Internet we have a wealth of experience. To learn more about us please click here.
Is online dating safe?
Yes, especially if you use our site! Our background checks and our emphasis on recruiting responsible singles who seek long-term relationships make our site much safer to use than other dating sites. With any service, including ours, you must use caution, common sense and your own intuition, if you do so our competitor’s sites are also safe. Our background checks make our site significantly safer than other sites. Senior women in particular appreciate the higher level of security.
Dating sites have a built in honesty check, simply compare what a person says on his or her profile to how the person really is when you meet him or her the first few times. No one will exactly match their profile, but they should be pretty close. The honesty check works best with our site because of our extensive profile questionnaire.

What is the age range are most of the members?
With five online communities we have a very wide age range:
Responsible Singles .Net primarily serves singles in the over 40 age ranges, with most members in their 50s, 60s and 70s.
Single Professionals .Com members are chiefly in the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s.
Young Singles .Net serves the 18 – 40 age range.
Children Yes .Com members are generally in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
Kind Love .Net serves Christian singles of all ages.
Are there more men or more women members?
Over all we have a close to equal number of men and women participating in our communities. We try to keep a good gender balance in all age ranges, although there is a tendency to have more women than men in the over 50 age range and to have a few more men than women in the under 30 age range.
I am an older women, is it possible for me to find a nice man near my age?
Yes there are older men who are willing to date women their own age, however there are quite a few women looking for those gentlemen. You may need to use a little more effort and persistence in your search; you should join one or more of our communities and perhaps even use the services of one or more of our competitors to give yourself the best opportunity to find the right partner.
After you join be proactive! Don’t just sit there and wait for gentlemen to send messages to you. You should send First Messages to gentlemen on a regular basis. I know that women often prefer to be pursued by a gentleman, that’s fine you can be pursued all you like but first you have to get his attention. ;-) This is especially true in the senior age range. In our experience women make send less than 25% of the First Messages, this is indeed unfortunate.
You will have more gentlemen to choose from if you are open to meeting men who are somewhat older than you. Most of the gentlemen in our communities are active and physically fit; many look considerably younger than their age.
Are there women the communities who are willing to meet older gentlemen?
Yes, we have women who are willing to meet active, physically fit older gentlemen. You can even search for women who have indicated a willingness to meet men your age or close to your age. Keep in mind that the greater the age differences the lower your response rate will be. Please do not spam, please send First Messages to women who indicate a willingness to meet men who are in your age range.
You will be surprised by how many attractive, active, physically fit women there are in your age range! You will find it easier to get along with a woman close to your age. If you date someone much more than ten years younger than yourself you are likely to encounter a generation gap.
What is including in the background check?
For your safety and security we require background checks as a condition of Gold Circle membership. We start the background check by verifying identity using a combination of name, date of birth and address information. A partial social security number match is made to confirm the identity (this only requires the first three digits of the social security number). Date of birth, current and previous residential addresses are confirmed, this information is then used to conduct a criminal records search. Criminal records are checked on a national level, then on a state and/or county level, depending on the jurisdiction.
For a number of good reasons the background checks do not include credit checks, the main reason is that your personal finances are none of our business. There are legal considerations that would preclude us from running credit checks even if we were inclined to do so.
We use reliable sources with years of experience in collected public records data. Background checks are not guaranteed to find every criminal incident, or absolutely verify marital status and date of birth, however they are an effective deterrent to individuals who do not meet our high standards of membership.
What will cause an application to be rejected?
We are particular; we will reject an applicant with a felony conviction or a misdemeanor conviction of a crime against person(s), property or a crime of a sexual nature. More than one DUI and/or DWI conviction within the past ten years will also cause rejection. Other significant misdemeanor convictions and restraining orders may be cause for rejection, these are considered on a case-by-case basis.
We have provided high-quality introduction services for twelve years; our experience has confirmed the value of criminal records background checks. We include the fact that we require background checks in our advertising; most people with criminal records don’t even bother to contact us. Occasionally people will call us and tell us about their “little problem”, usually the “little problem” isn’t so little and we must tell them that we cannot consider them for membership.
However, we still find issues that cause us to reject applicants. Rarely do we see felonies; however we do see misdemeanor offences or restraining orders that indicate to us that a prospective member is not suitable for our service.
What is your Privacy Policy?

We use the information collected on this site to provide services to our clients and to conduct background checks on new members, which requires us to transmit some information to reputable security firms.

1) All members of your communities, including members who have not yet completed background checks, may view your profile.
2) Only members who have passed the background check may view your profile.
