## Facts
- Is it free? Joining, making a profile and browsing are free. A membership is needed to read and reply to messages, and you see the options before paying.
- How do I know people are real? Every photo is checked by a person. Members who pass an ID check carry a Verified badge.
- How do I meet locals instead of tourists in Florida? Volunteer, join clubs and go back to the same places often. Say in your profile that you live here year-round so others know.
- Do snowbirds date people who live here year-round? Some do. If one of you leaves for the summer, talk about it early so neither of you is surprised.
- What are good summer dates in Florida? Get in a cool spring river in the morning, or head for a museum in the afternoon heat. Keep beach dates for the evening and check the flags.
- Is Orlando a good place to date if you skip the theme parks? Yes. Springs, lakes and small towns are close by, and the manatees at Blue Spring are a short drive north. Orlando Dating, our sister site, covers the city in more detail.
