Joining, making a profile and browsing are free. You need a membership to read and reply to messages, and you see the options before you pay. - How do I know people are real? Every photo is checked by a person. Members who pass an ID check carry a Verified badge, so you can see who has been checked. - What is a good first date in Albuquerque? Keep it simple and public. A walk around the Old Town plaza, coffee in Nob Hill or an hour at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center all work well. - Where do singles in Albuquerque meet people offline? Try volunteering with Open Space, a library book club, the Downtown Growers Market on Saturdays, or events at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. - Can I meet people from Rio Rancho and Santa Fe too? Yes. You can search for members in nearby towns as well as in Albuquerque, and choose how far you are happy to travel. - How do I stay safe meeting someone new? Meet in a busy public place, get yourself there and back, and tell a friend your plans. Never send money to someone you have not met, and report anyone who asks.
