Zoosk: Raleigh Dating Site & App

Raleigh may be known to the rest of the country as the capital of North Carolina, but for those of us who live here, it’s so much more. Almost a half-million Tar Heels call Raleigh home, and over a million live in or near the Raleigh-Durham corridor. So, why is it so hard to meet someone who’s truly worthwhile? Well, it doesn’t have to be. 

Zoosk is an exciting dating app that matches Raleigh singles based on mutual compatibility. Our advanced dating algorithm learns about your personality, preferences, wants, and needs and then finds matches that are looking for someone just like you. 

Find Love in Raleigh on Zoosk

Signing up for Zoosk is easy. You can either start on our website, where you will have the option of joining as a Basic or Premium member. The free Basic option is designed to provide you with an overview of the site so that you can decide whether Zoosk is right for you. You can view profiles and match with Raleigh singles. When you’re ready, sign up for one of our affordable Premium plans that will provide you with enhanced features. 

The app is available through Google Play for Android devices or the App Store for Apple products. To unlock the app features, you will have to select a Premium plan. The app allows you to send and receive messages via an encrypted system, see who’s viewed your profile, peruse members’ profiles, and much more. 

Introduction to the Raleigh Dating Site & App

If you’ve ever used a swiping app like Tinder, Bumble, or Hinge, you quickly learned the inherent flaw in these apps. You enter your age, gender, location, and gender preference, and then you start swiping. If you swipe enough, you’ll eventually match with other members. From those, you may be able to establish a dialogue and even get a date. But where is the consideration of compatibility? The same goes for the Raleigh dating scene. You might hit the usual bars and restaurants and hope to meet someone there, but are they going to be the right person for you?

Our dating app puts compatibility first. Here’s how Zoosk eliminates trial and error:

• Members open an account on the Zoosk site or app.
• After entering the same cursory information that all apps require — name, age, location, gender, etc. — they are directed to a multi-question psychological quiz. 
• The member completes dozens of questions (it only takes about ten minutes) as the algorithm learns about their personality. Don’t worry! Zoosk will never share your data with third parties. 
• Once our dating algorithm has an idea of who you are and what you’re looking for, it will search for a curated list of members in your area who meet your specifications. 
• The algorithm then filters this list to select members that not only meet your criteria but have established criteria that you fit. 

The result is a list of potential matches that you’re bound to like as much as they’re going to like you. Of course, not every selection is going to be ideal. That’s where SmartPick™ comes in. This feature looks for similarities in your picks and the members you pass on. That way, the algorithm can refine its search further. 

Zoosk has 40 million members worldwide and tens of thousands of members just in Raleigh. With numbers like that, you’re bound to have multiple options. Find out for yourself. 

Features and Benefits of Using the Site and App

The Premium platform offers many valuable features for individuals looking for serious dating in Raleigh. These are just a few of the popular features that the Zoosk Premium site and app offer our members:

• Unlimited direct messages – Zoosk members love the ability to communicate with one another through a secure, encrypted messaging system. This works like the DMs of most social media apps. It’s a great way to maintain your anonymity while you’re getting to know other members. Set your notifications so that you never miss a message.
• Read receipts – Have they seen what you wrote? You’ll never have to wonder with message read receipts. You’ll know whether they saw what you wrote or have been too busy to check. 
• Visitor alerts – Do you have a shy admirer? With Zoosk, you’ll know who has been looking at your profile. If they’ve checked you out, maybe it’s time to make the first move. 
• Carousel – We know how fun it can be to just sift through profiles. Carousel allows you to look at other member’s profiles and choose “Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe.” If you both check “Yes,” you’re a match. 
• “Have You Seen?” – This is a kind of boost for Premium members. Maybe your perfect match missed you the first time around. “Have You Seen?” will help make sure they don’t miss a great opportunity.  
• SmartPick™ – As you are choosing members, SmartPick™ learns about you and your preferences. Zoosk suggestions start strong and continue to get better. 
• Full access to member profiles – With Premium, you can see all of a member’s profile, including their full photo gallery. 
• Additional filters – If you’re not exactly finding what you’re looking for — or just need to narrow down your criteria — Zoosk Premium has additional features. 

And there’s much, much more. 

Safety and Privacy on the Zoosk Platform

Zoosk may be the premier Raleigh dating app and site, but it’s also the safest. Member safety is paramount, and we have a number of features and measures to ensure that Raleigh singles have a fun and safe experience. 

Encrypted Communications

Your private messages are end-to-end encrypted. That means that only the sender and receiver can see them. Zoosk does not see your messages unless another member shares them with us. This generally only occurs when they are reporting a possible violation of our terms of service (i.e. harassment, fraud, etc.). 

Screening New Accounts

Our security team reviews new accounts for signs of fraudulent activity. The Zoosk platform is a deterrent to fraud since it does take some extra time to set up a profile and answer questions. In other words, someone with criminal intent would probably prefer going to a platform where they only have to answer a few questions to set up scam profiles.

Review of ToS Violations

We take all violations of our terms of service seriously. Our security team will review complaints within 24 hours. We also have 24/7 customer service in case the matter is a little more urgent. 

No Third-Party Information Sharing

Like all dating apps, we have to collect information on our members. However, we do not share or sell this data with third parties. Additionally, we have stringent security protocols to ensure that your data is not leaked. 

Easy Reporting and Blocking

If you do encounter a member who is violating our terms of service, you can easily report the activity and block the other member. 

Closed Environment

Only members can view your profile. If you are concerned about family, friends, or coworkers seeing that you’re on a dating app, you can rest assured that they’re on one, too. 

Raleigh Dating Tips With Zoosk

So, you’ve signed up for the Zoosk dating app, and you’ve met someone with real potential. What’s your next move? Here are a few tips for setting up the first date with a Zoosk member. 

• Schedule a Pre-Date Call – This also serves various purposes. For one, you can break the ice a little by talking on the phone. More importantly, it’s helpful to verify that you’re talking to a real person. To this end, a video call is even better. 
• Meet at a Public Place – If you’ve never met someone before, it’s a good idea to meet in public. It takes the pressure off and is much safer than meeting in a private location. 
• Tell a Friend – Give a friend or family member the information you have about the other person and where you’re meeting. It’s just a good idea until you get to know the other party. 
• Keep the First Date Short – You can always plan a second date that’s more involved if the first meeting works out. Getting together for a drink after work or a coffee on the weekend is a good way to meet someone in person for the first time. 
• Plan A Few Light Topics to Discuss – Many people are nervous on their first dates. If you have a few light questions to ask, it will help stimulate the conversation. For example, “Where was the last place you traveled to?” “Who do you like in the NCAA tournament this year?”
