Facebook dating. How to use Facebook as a dating site while not beeing stupid.

I am sure you have done it also; added random friends on Facebook and ended up feeling like an idiot afterwards.

Yes, me too. But this is not how to date on Facebook! Since it is a network for mostly friends, don't add someone you might like without asking first. People who do that are considered amateurs and idiots. Don't do it! Don't add random people.

There is a better way: use some of the popular dating applications on Facebook. There you can find other people interested in dating and willing to be friend with you, without making the mistakes that makes you look like an idiot. A lot of people around the world are using Facebook for dating; it is not stupid if you just do it the right way, as we show you here. Install Zoosk, AreYouInterested or Baddo to get started.

The first thing you should do when you install the recommended applications is to turn of the writing on your Facebook wall. Of course the applications get a lot of free advertising when you announce everything you do on your wall, but do you want all your friends to see what you do? Edit your permissions and turn of publishing to your wall after installing, it is very easy. And it will save you some embarrassment.

On AreYouInterested the default is to show only people from the same country as you. But you can change the country in your profile, so just change country if you want to meet someone from another part of the world. Like I did, change to Brazil and see all the nice daters from Brazil. Or set it to show the entire world, but that can be a bit tiresome, try to rather be a bit more specific and focused when you want to meet someone.

The applications needs different permissions to be able to read your data and your profile pictures, just allow what you feel is needed. You can switch it all of afterwards. Remember to switch off the posting to your wall as earlier mentioned, or else there can be a lot of stupid postings on your page! If you don't stop it, every flirt you do and every new contact you make will be repeated on your profile, and I don't think you will want that if you have some real friends and family on your Facebook. Save yourself from the embarrassment - clean your wall.
