People who appear on your "Matches" list are those who live within your city. You can customise your matches' distance from you by 5 to 500 miles of the current city you are in. This means that you can only contact people who live in the same city as you.
If you happen to move to a different city, you can change your location anytime. Despite your ability to change the indicated location inside your profile, the site tracks your actual location through your device's GPS so you may still get matches from around these areas.
To make better matches, LDS Singles lets you describe the type of people you are looking for. Under the "Discovery Preferences," you can select whether you want a long-term relationship, marriage, marriage, and kids, or a friend.
To get in touch with a member, you can simply click the message icon under their main photos to send a message. You need to have a premium subscription to this, however.
Online Dating Safety
The first time you enter your "Messages" page, an "Important Notice" dialog box will appear. It contains information about online dating safety. It makes you promise to never send money, ask others for money, or share financial information with anyone you meet on LDS Singles.
You need to click the "I accept" button at the bottom of the message to continue. Clicking also serves as an acknowledgment that you understand and will follow the rules as you use the site.
LDS Singles is big on dating safety. At the bottom of the box, you will get a hyperlink to a page they made within the site about online safety tips.
"LookBook" Feature
Using the LookBook feature, you can browse profiles one at a time, anonymously. From the LookBook page, you’ll see the member’s main photo, display name, age, location, and biography.
You’ll have the option to make a selection on each profile. Clicking the heart icon indicates a like, while clicking on the X icon indicates that you'll pass on the profile.
If you pass on a member in LookBook, they will not be notified. You will get a "Mutual Like" notification for every mutual likes you get.
