Frequently Asked Questions
Q. 1   I cannot login with my username and password. What am I doing wrong?

If you cannot login with your username and password, please first recheck your username and password for Black Dating For Free. Many times we have so many usernames and passwords around the internet that we sometimes confuse one sites username/password with another.


If you are certain this is your username and password, make sure that you have typed in the right case for each letter. If you used a capital A in your username and you accidentally type in a lowercase a, you wont be able to login.


Finally, if everything is correct, Click HERE to go to a page that will allow you to enter your email address and we will resend your username and password to you.


If nothing checks out even after all this, your account may have been deleted by Black Dating For Free. The reasons for being deleted are:



  • You must be 18 or over to use Black Dating For Free

  • You have used inappropriate language in your profile or communications with others

  • You have uploaded inappropriate images in your profile or in messages to others

  • You have been identified as someone who is trying to take advantage of the BDFF Community

  • You have tried to sell things to members or tried to promote your website/product

  • We have received multiple complaints/negative reports about you and your behavior

  • You have been identified as a spammer, con-artist or escort

If you have been erroneously identified as any of the above by our screening process we sincerely apologize and welcome you to re-register. We just want to err on the side of caution and protect our Christian Dating Community the best we can. There are a lot of troublemakers out there on the internet.

Q. 2   How do I upload new photos of myself or add/delete photos?

First of all, you need one or more photos on your computer of yourself that are in either JPEG, JPG, BMP or GIF format. They cannot be huge files (sometimes when you take photos with a digital camera the file size is very large because it captures a lot of detail). The pictures you upload can only be at MOST 250 KB. If you have no idea what this means, ask a friend that knows a little about computers to help you.


Remember, the photo or photos need to be ON your computer. In other words, you have a file on your desktop that is called “Personal Photos” or you have a computer folder called “My Pictures” and this is where your photos are. If they are not on the computer, you will need to save them on the computer from your (or a friend’s) digital camera or you can scan a photo on a photo scanner.


In order to add or change images on your profile, you first need to be logged in. Please first enter your username and password in the “Member Login” area at the top of the page.


Then once you are logged in, look at the top area of the page, around the middle. You’ll see a button that reads “Images”. Click on the “Images” button.


Now you are at the Images page. See the blank box that has a button next to it that reads “Browse…”? Click on the “Browse” button and you will see a new window that will browse your computer. Go to the top of this window and click on the right side “drop down” box. Here you will see the contents of your entire computer. Find the folder that your photos are in and then double click on the actual photo file that you want to upload. Once you have double clicked the photo name, the window will disappear.


You will then see the beginning of the file path written in the previously empty box to the left of “Browse…”. Now, either choose “Show on Profile” or “Private Image”. “Show on Profile” will allow everyone that sees your profile to see this image. “Private Image” is or people you start talking with and at some point in your relationship you want to show them a different photo that you might not want to share with the entire community. You can send a private message to that person and you will be shown how to insert it into the private message very easily.


Once you have chosen, click on the “Upload New Image” button.


Give it a minute to upload and a little longer if the picture is a larger one- the program is now uploading your image to your profile. You’ll see when its done because your image will appear on the page when it has been successfully uploaded.


Now, only one of these images can be your “Main Image”. This I the image that everyone will see when they do a search and find your profile. When they click on the profile they will see the other images you put on there.

Q. 3   I have forgotten my password. Can you send it to me?

Sure no problem. With all those passwords, usernames and combinations we have these days its easy to forget sometimes. Just click HERE and you will be taken to a page that will ask you for your email address. Enter it and press submit and your username/password will be instantly emailed to you.

Q. 4   How do I edit my profile?

In order to edit your profile, first you need to be logged in. Login using your username and password then you will see a button at the top, around the middle of the page. It reads Edit Profile. Click on that button. On this Edit Profile page you will find all of the things you filled in when you first registered. If you want to change anything, change it here then go to the bottom of the page and click on the Submit Button.

Q. 5   I dont understand the Mail Settings. Could you please explain this area?

The “Mail Settings” is a button at the top of the page after you login.


When you click on it you’ll see “Mail and Message Settings / Restrictions”. This is the page that you can customize so that ONLY certain people can contact you. If you don’t like smokers and don’t want them to contact you, click on the “Smoke” box that blocks them from contacting you.


If you only want Men between the ages of 45 to 55 to be able to contact you then close “Male” and choose the numbers “45” and “55” in the “Age Between” boxes.


This is also an important area for one other reason: what you choose here will combine with the information on your Profile in order to find out what people are the right matches for you. The information on your Profile and your Mail Settings combine to make up the results on the “My Matches” button. When you click on “My Matches” you may see some people that are “suggestions” from up because they match up with a lot of the things you like and don’t like.

Q. 6   What do I do if I suspect someone is a con-artist or scammer?

There are plenty of lousy people out there that try to exploit the generosity and kindness of others. We think this is the lowest kind of betrayal and guard our Black Dating For Free registered members as best we can. However, we cannot keep all of these nuisances out all of the time.


If you suspect that someone is trying to con you or someone else, if someone has asked you to send money, if someone is trying to sell you something or promote a product or a website, we encourage you to CONTACT US and let us know. We want to minimize this kind of intrusion to our Community and appreciate any tips we get from our members.


Let us know their Username and what their words/actions were that you feel were a violation of our terms and conditions when you submit your comments.

Q. 8   What is the Favorites area for?

When you are spending time on Black Dating For Free you will see quite a few personal profiles. As you look at these personal profiles you may find some that interest you more than others.


If you would like to make a record of these Favorite profiles and keep them in a list to see later, go to a profile and look a the top right of the profile page. At the top right of each personal profile you will see a button that says Add to Favorites.


Click on this button and the members profile will automatically be added to your Favorites.

Q. 9   I never got My Activation Email after I finished Registration. What’s the deal?

You went through the registration process and now you can’t login because you were never sent your activation email. We really appreciate you signing up and love that you are excited and ready to get started. Here are some possible scenarios why you have not received your activation email: -You did not get entirely through the registration process- In order to get the activation email sent to you, you must get to the final page that notifies you that you are successfully registered and that you should check your email. -The email address you registered with is not the same one you are checking. -The email address is a yahoo or other free email address- sometimes these email servers take up to an hour or two to receive mail depending on the server load. Your activation email should be in your inbox instantly or within a few minutes but these hour or two long delays have been known to happen. -You have actually received your activation email but it has been delivered to your spam folder. Please check your spam folder to see if it went there. Sometimes this folder is called the “Junk Folder� or “Bulk Folder�. -You have not received your email because it never got through to you (for one reason or another- Yahoo, MSN, AOL and others can make it difficult sometimes but they are just trying to make it harder for spammers to get through to you, we can appreciate that). If this is the case, Please CLICK HERE and enter your email address in order to have a very basic version of the activation email sent to you.

Q. 10   When I click on My Matches how are you determining these matches for me?

Well, When you click on My Matches you will see some profiles that we think would be good for you based on your profile and your mail settings.for the admin@blackdatingforfree.com jiksi


You may notice that many of the matches are from your area or your state. This may be because, in your mail settings, you only allow people within 50 miles to contact you. We used this information to narrow down your matches.


Or you may notice that your matches are only between the ages of 28 and 42.  This is because this is the age range you have specified in your profile.

In other words, we determine your matches based on what you have told us in your profile and your mail settings. You can always get different results by just doing a basic or advanced search.
