Welcome to our online community, TC Dating
We have tried to make everything here on our site as easy as possible, not everyone is a cyber expert, right?
In this tour we aim to show you only some of the sites features. Once you have joined up we are sure you will soon find your way around but here are some of the main features to get you started.
Before you can start searching to find to a friend, penpal, partner or just someone to chat with, you need to become a member and provide a few details. This enables us to enter you into the system so that all the sites user features will apply to your profile. Once this is complete you will achieve full upgraded membership status temporarily (7Days FREE) and have unlimited access to all our sites features for the duration of this trial period.
After your trial period has expired you will automatically become a "regular" (free) member for life, but with usage limitations. You now have the choice to upgrade your membership status to an "upgraded" (paying) member. All our upgraded members have the same unlimited privilege rights to all features. The upgraded membership is only governed by the duration of the package you have opted for ie. 1month, 3months or 6months.

Multi-language
In order to appeal to a wider audience we have made some parts of of the site available in different languages. This is a new idea and unfortunately due to the present resources, a little ongoing. If you decide to use another language and find some of the translation not quite correct we would love to hear from you.
Choose your desired language either from "settings", which can be found after logging in, or from the home page.
If you change it in settings this will become your default language for the site at login.
Chat
If the person you want to talk to is available you can instigate a chat session by opening chat from their profile. Please note however, they have the option to decline your invitation. Better luck next time!
Winks
If you are a little shy this is a great way of making the first move and "breaking the ice". Once you have found someone who you would like to communicate with, send them a wink and let them know you are interested. You can choose the type of wink you want to send them.

Mailing system
Incorporated into the site is our own internal mailing system so there is no need to give out your personal email to anyone.
We recommend that you never give out your email address or any private information to anyone whilst using the site.
Photo albums
In addition to your normal profile photo you can also add your own photo albums (up to 5). In each of these albums you can put up to 6 photo's with descriptions.
The albums can then be viewed by "everyone" or just your "friends", the choice is up to you and can be edited any time. (content will have to be approved)
Guest book
If you would just like to say "Hi" or let someone know you found their profile interesting or maybe that they have a great smile, this would be the place to do it. It's nice to receive a compliment from a complete stranger! All comments have to be approved by you before anyone else can see them.

Search
Two options are available to you here, Simple or Advanced Search.
Both options are user friendly and offer you a wide choice of search criteria, for example; country, city, age, lifestyle, social setting, living situation, username etc.
Hot or Not
Simply browse members who have opted to show their photo's on this feature and give them your rating.
Personal blog
You have something you want to shout about? Maybe there's something you'd like others opinions on? Well this is where you can post your views and invite others to join in and comment.

Events calander
If you want to let others know of something happening near to you or if you want to invite them to a special occasion, then this is a useful feature. You can post events and join in events, letting others know you will be attending. We do not recommend meetings of unaccompanied individuals.

Favourites
Keep a list of all your favourite members, making it easier for you to remember who you where chatting with the last time you where logged in.
Friends
When you have found someone who you consider to be your friend, by saving them to this category you will have more control over what media you can share with them. They can enjoy the special privileges assigned to this category, like viewing personal photo albums, access to certain songs etc. which you control.
Visitors
Get to know who has been showing an interest in you and looking at your profile. You will be able to see who visited and when, very useful feature.
Invitations
This is useful to send out invitations to your friends that have not already joined TC Dating. Let others know what you do in your spare time and get them to join in. Maybe you know someone who you have met online that you think is just perfect for your friend!
