In the sea of dating sites available on the internet, those with unusual lifestyles or interests often find themselves adrift. Mega-sites use the power of numbers, signing up as many users as possible.  Somewhere in that mix exists one with whom you are 'truly compatible'. That's great, except that it begs the question, 'How I am supposed to find this person in a jumble of names and photos'? For those with a unique lifestyle, many possible connections end before they can begin, solely based on pictures or listed interests.

Enter specialty sites. Gothic Personals was created by Goths, for Goths. The community is small enough to feel personal, yet large enough to provide a wide selection of choices. Basic membership is free and allows access to all aspects of the site, albeit with limitations (3 searches per day and 100 saved messages limit).  You can graduate to a paid membership at any time, at extremely reasonable prices ($3 per month; less if you buy multiple months at a time).

Though many members join for 'love', the site offers options to search for pen pals or friends as well. Each member may create multiple ads, perhaps seeking a female for long-term romance, a male activity partner, or a pen pal of either sex.

Gothic Personals strives to create a working community of those who enjoy the gothic lifestyle, and many members stay around for years, making new friends. This highly rated site is an excellent resource for Goths around the world, whatever type of connection they hope to achieve.
