Well it is the New Year and people are always looking to do two things this time of year. First they are resolving to quit something, in many cases smoking. Secondly they are resolving to improve their relationships or find one in the first place. So when I was looking for a dating site to fill this week’s niche, SmokeFreeSingles just seemed to fit.

What they say:

Are you looking for a relationship that is free of cigarette/cigar/pipe smoke? Are you wanting to stop smoking, seeking smoking facts or just tired of the effects of smoking and looking for a new love interest dating, friends or romance who feel the same? Smoke Free Singles dating is an internet website for non-smoking singles looking for love, dating and romance. People who also believe in the bad effects of smoking and who are either wanting to stop smoking or already have and is their desire to date others who wish to be in a non-smoking relationship.

The site is small. I did a search for women in my state of Washington and came up with 56 total and only 10 in my age range. Questions on most major dating sites already allow you to see someone smoking habits usually. But if you are looking for that as a main criterion this may be a place to look for that special someone. Especially if the site grows larger than it presently is.

The site is part of a network of dating sites where you can fill out one profile and use it at any of the nine sites. Including a site for smokers that somehow I doubt there’s much crossover between the two. You can sign up for a free profile. They also offer a premium membership, which allows you access to more features.

If the only thing in your relationship you want burning is your passion for your significant other then give SmokeFreeSingles a try. Where there’s no smoke there still can be fire.

Today is the start of Hanukkah. That got me thinking in a certain frame of mind. In regards as to which niche dating site to profile this week, well that got me thinking about Jewish singles sites. JDate is the single largest online dating site for Jewish singles.

Their mission statement is …

… to strengthen the Jewish community and ensure that Jewish traditions are sustained for generations to come. To accomplish this we provide a global network where Jewish singles find friendship, romance and life-long partners within their faith.

With a free membership you can send flirts and reply to instant messages. If you want to use the advanced features of the site and reply to anyone you will need a Premium subscription. They offer one, three, and six month options. The longer you sign up for initially the lower the monthly cost for future months of service should it take you some time to find just the right one.

So if you are looking for great and easy place to find other Jewish singles give JDate a try and Mazel Tov.

Do you love your veggies? Well so does everybody else at this site. The site is called VeggieLove. It is not about the love of vegetables so much as the finding love. It is an online dating and community site built just for you, the vegetarian.

They say:

VeggieLove.com is a singles community owned and operated by vegetarians. A place where single vegetarians, vegans, raw foodists and others who seek and value a plant-based diet can meet and network for friendship, dating, marriage and the exchange of information and ideas.

The site offers three levels of membership. The first is Free. This allows you to post a profile and send smiles and respond to others. With a Full membership you can do all of the previous with the added ability to send messages. You can also sign up with a Credit membership. With this type you can buy credits that allow you to send messages to other members.

The site also has a section of links to businesses that might be of interest to the veggie lover, along with a section of links to an assortment of informational sites about the vegetarian lifestyle.

Mostly though this is a niche-dating site. Scratching the niche to find someone of like mind and of similar eating habits. If you are tired of the meat market then try the veggie stand. Check out VeggieLove.

Have you been on one too many dates where all you wanted was some stimulating conversation but all you got was too much awkward silence? Maybe you need a better quality of date. That is what DegreeDate says they can offer. The ability to find that special someone in a group formally educated potential mates.

They say:

Degreedate.com is, first and foremost, a dating and personals site geared towards singles who value education in their prospective dates. What differentiates Degreedate.com from other dating sites is that our service provides not only connections based on physical appearance, location, shared interests, and the relationships you are seeking, but we do it in a unique and fun way-by letting our members display their educational background and Alma Mater. Dating is tough, but it is also fun-and, as an added bonus, it can also be educational.

This site is light on information regarding their services. The idea sounds interesting. Finding someone of a similar education background is a way to go. For some people this could be just what they are looking for.

Say you are a lawyer or something and you just can’t find anyone who understands you. Maybe another lawyer could provide that for you. If that is important to you then this could be a place to check out.

Right now it is free to sign up and browse around. If you are looking for a higher degree of date then maybe DegreeDate is the perfect online dating option for you.
