PersonalFling: How the Official Online Dating Site Works

Many online dating sites look alike, and a copycat address is easy to miss.

Maybe you don’t yet know how to sign in, set up a profile, or write to members safely, on a computer or a phone. This article walks you through each step, from signing in to the privacy and safety features.

What PersonalFling is and who it is for

PersonalFling is the official online dating site, at personalfling.com. It suits people looking for casual connections and flirty encounters. Creating a profile is free, and you can browse members and chat in private.

Some members look for matches nearby. Others are open to virtual connections across distances, so you can talk with someone far away.

PersonalFling is a dating site, and that is all it is. It is not a shop, a game, a financial service, or a place you visit in person.

It is for adults only. You can use it only if you are 18 or older. If you are under 18, do not create an account.

How to sign in to your PersonalFling account

Signing in from a computer

Sign in at personalfling.com with the login details you chose when you signed up. Before you type anything, check that the address is exactly personalfling.com.

Fling.com is a separate domain, so an account there does not give you access to your PersonalFling account. If the address in your browser is different, close the page and don’t enter your details.

Here are the steps on a computer, from the address to your account:

• Open personalfling.com and check that the address bar shows exactly that address.
• Find the sign-in area of the page, with its username and password fields.
• Type your username and password, then send the form to open your account.

Signing in from a phone

On a phone, the steps are the same, in your usual browser:

• Open personalfling.com in your phone’s browser.
• Check that the address bar shows exactly personalfling.com before you type anything.
• Then enter your username and password, the ones you chose at sign-up.

Creating your profile step by step

Creating your profile is easy: fill in the form from top to bottom, starting with the basic information. Once your profile is set up, you can browse members and send them messages.

Before you pay for anything, check which services cost money and how to cancel your account.

Go through these parts of the form in this order:

• Basic information: the details the form asks for first.
• Photo: a clear, recent picture, so members get a real idea of who you are.
• Interests and preferences: your hobbies and what you are looking for.
• Description: keep it short and honest, without exaggerating.

Browsing member profiles and photos

Once you have registered, you can browse member profiles. This is the first thing to do after creating your profile: look at a few profiles to see how other members present themselves.

Compare their photos and descriptions with your own. If yours looks shorter or vaguer than theirs, go back and improve it before you write to anyone.

Your profile photo helps other members get a first idea of who you are, so add a clear, recent one. Members come from many countries, with varied interests and cultures.

Before you share personal information or carry on a conversation, check the site address carefully. Make sure it is exactly personalfling.com.

Finding the right members with search filters

Filtering by location and age

Location and age are the two main search filters. Use location to find members nearby, or to look for virtual connections farther away.

Set the age range you want too. Keep the location tight to meet people close to home, or loosen it to reach more distant connections.

To combine both filters, set them one after the other on the same search page:

• Choose your location first, then set the age range.
• Look at the results list, which shows only the members who match both filters.
• To change a value, reopen the filter and pick a new one.
• To start over, clear the location and age fields and run the search again.

Searching by interests

The interests filter lets you find members who share your hobbies, and what you write on your profile helps them find you:

• Open the interests filter on the search page and pick the interests you want to match.
• Fill in the interests section of your profile so other members learn what you enjoy.
• Add your preferences too, so they know what you are looking for before they write.

Sending messages and connecting with members

Once you’ve signed up, open a member’s profile and use the message option there to send a first note. Keep it short and polite, and mention something from their profile, such as a shared interest.

Once they reply, move the conversation into private messaging. For real-time talk, use instant messaging or join a chat room.

A video profile lets you show more of your personality. A member blog is another way: you share your experiences and ideas there, so others get to know you.

Before you pay to send or receive messages, check the fees and the cancellation terms. Check them first, so you know what you pay and how to stop.

Privacy, safety and using PersonalFling on mobile

PersonalFling uses security measures to protect your personal information, and profile checks help stop fake accounts. Read the privacy policy for the full details.

Never send money or financial details to someone you meet on the site, however convincing their story sounds. Before you sign up, check the address and read the terms.

On a phone, it works the same as on a computer: type personalfling.com in the browser. Before you log in or pay, check these points:

• Zoom in on the address bar to confirm it reads personalfling.com.
• Check the price and any fees before you confirm a payment.
• Find the cancellation terms before you pay.

The most important thing to remember is to check that the address reads exactly personalfling.com before you sign in, pay, or share personal details. The other steps depend on it.

Your next step is to open personalfling.com and either sign in or fill in the profile form. Then look at a few members before you write to anyone, and check the fees before you pay for anything.

Frequently asked questions

Is PersonalFling free to join?

Yes, creating a PersonalFling profile is free, but some extras cost money, such as paying to send or receive messages. Before you sign up or enter payment details, look at the fees and the cancellation terms first.

Do I need to be 18 or older to use PersonalFling?

Yes, you must be 18 or older to use PersonalFling. If you are younger, don’t use the site at all, not even to browse. If you are 18 or over, the steps below apply to you.

Can I use PersonalFling on my phone as well as on a computer?

Yes. PersonalFling works on a phone just as it does on a computer. Open personalfling.com in your phone’s browser, then sign in with your username and password. Check the address bar first.

How do I reset my PersonalFling password if I forget it?

If you forget your password, go to the sign-in page at personalfling.com and look for the account-recovery options.

Start there rather than guessing the password again and again. Before you enter any details, check that the address reads exactly personalfling.com.

Is PersonalFling the same as Fling.com?

No, PersonalFling is not Fling.com. PersonalFling runs at personalfling.com, and Fling.com is a separate domain. An account on one does not give you access to the other, so sign in only at personalfling.com.
