You can invite your friends to sign up - and you can find the users online on your game app - simply select one and ask them to start a stare match
Any large motion, blinking your eyes or looking away will add a blink - you want to sit really still and stare into your Opponent eyes to win!
You can do this by going to your control pannel and adding in your blog - this will automatically be added into the site
To play the game - you do need a webcam - however you can sign up and join the community first off

A crush list is a list of people you fancy or that fancy you

1 Take a nice long blink and close your eyes tightly right before the contest begins. This will produce tears that your eyes will need to keep moist.
2 Think of something really sad while staring at your opponent. This will help stop you from laughing or smirking which is not permitted.
3 Remember to relax. Too much stress will cause you to strain your eye muscles and could lead to eye strain.
4 Open your eyes really wide during the contest and, when you think you are about blink, open them even wider. This goes against your natural instincts, but will actually make your eyes water, thus keeping them moist.
5 When you are about to blink, squint and furrow your brow. Again, this will produce tears and help to keep you staring for longer.
Sometimes your webcam does not register immediately, this is normally resolved by restarting your computer!
You can either upload a photo on your control panel, or use our webcam photo suite which will allow you to take a photo directly with your webcam and then you must "Set as Main" if you want the image to be your main profile image
If you go to the meet people section and browse the first few pages of members then these are the online users - you can also see their online status under their main photo
Sometimes you may need to restart your machine if your webcam does not respond...
I answered the phone last week, and without even a hello my friend barked, "He looked NOTHING like his photo and was about a decade older!"
Sound familiar?
The number one complaint online daters have is that the person they meet is completely different than the person depicted on the dating site.
“Writing your online dating profile is like writing a good cover letter in a job search”
Writing your online dating profile is like writing a good cover letter in a job search -- its sole purpose is to capture the reader's interest so that he or she wants to meet you and learn more. You can market yourself effectively without inventing a whole new persona.
Online daters come across many profiles, so it is important to distinguish yourself. Believe it or not, simple things like checking your spelling, posting a good photo, and keeping the write-up concise and upbeat can be the difference between someone following up with you, or clicking onto someone else.
Here are some other 'dos' and 'don'ts' to keep in mind when you're constructing your dating profile:
Do Post Photos
“Most people miss the boat if they don't include a photo in their profile.”
Most people miss the boat if they don't include a photo in their profile. If you're too shy to include one upfront, make it clear that you will offer the photo if you feel a connection with someone who writes to you. You should be aware that many, if not most, people won't even look at a profile if there isn't a photo included with it.
Don't Post Many Photos
I know you have many cute looks -- on the go, with your family, or with that really great tan last year in Mexico -- but resist the urge to post more than a couple of photos or else you'll overwhelm your audience who won't have a clue which photo you actually look like now.
[Editor's note: SIYD allows you to post up to 10 photos with your profile and add captions to each so you can clear up any confusion about when a photo was taken. However Andrea's advice is correct. Don't confuse viewers about what you look like now.]
Post a Photo of Yourself Solo
Your niece may be really adorable or you may want to show that you hang out with cute members of the opposite sex, but it's better to stay solo in your photo online -- and on that note, don't include a photo where you've cut off someone's arm wrapped around you. C'mon! Digital cameras make it easy to get at least one good shot of you on your own!
Create a Compelling Essay
* DO be concise but specific to ensure you capture the reader's interest. Instead of saying, "I love to travel" mention the best trip you've ever taken. Replace "I have a good sense of humor" with something witty. Bottom line: show don't tell!
* DON'T justify why you're online and say things like, "My mother made me do this but I hate online dating" Stay upbeat and humorous and you're more likely to get noticed.
* DO have someone else (preferably of the opposite sex) proof your profile to make sure it flows, highlights your best qualities and is free of spelling and grammatical errors.
* Remember -- online dating is like speed dating -- you have a very small window to make your impression.
Finally, a note about honesty -- not telling the truth about your relationship status, the way you currently look, or exaggerating certain characteristics has become the cardinal online dating sin.
My friend insists that the majority of men who post their height at 5' 9" are often 5' 7" or under and many women who post 29-years-old are actually over 30.
“It's generally not a good idea to embellish too much since a big part of dating is about expectations.”
It's generally not a good idea to embellish too much since a big part of dating is about expectations. And really, do you really want to start out dating someone new by being dishonest?
It is true that online dating can be like a big bargain sale -- you may have to sift through some junk to find the gems. Don't let that deter you. There are some amazing people waiting to meet you online. Have fun!
As a love coach, I've heard the following question more times than I can remember:
"What happened? I'm so confused. At first, he seemed to really like me. He made reservations, picked me up, and took me to a fabulous restaurant. But for some reason, over the course of dinner, he became a little cold and distant. By the time he dropped me off, he seemed withdrawn and just sped off into the night. I haven't heard from him since! And I really liked him. I'm so bummed! What do you think happened?"
Does this sound familiar to you? If so, you may have broken some cardinal first-date rules without knowing it. Here are eight tips to ensure that a first date will turn into a second if you'd really like it to:
Tip 1. Don't be negative about dating. Why should a man pursue someone who isn't happy? It's ineffective manhandling to dump your dating disappointments on bachelor No. 3.
“Talking to a man about how awful dating is just begs the question, "Are you in therapy?"”
Talking to a man about how awful dating is just begs the question, "Are you in therapy?"
Manhandling Tip: Be a romantic challenge, not a mental health challenge.
Tip 2. Don't get tipsy. Always maintain enough sobriety to assess your date's character. Practice restraint, and don't have more than a drink or two when you're out on a first date. Otherwise, how in the world can you possibly observe him and decide if he's remotely right for you?
Manhandling Tip: Always stay sober enough to remember how naughty you were the night before!
Tip 3. Don't talk badly about your exes. I don't care if he cheated on you with your sister, don't recite a laundry list of grievances about your exes. This will only make you sound unavailable at best, or worse, wounded.
“Reveal your secrets when you're both on a beach in Hawaii or, better yet, engaged!”
Reveal your secrets when you're both on a beach in Hawaii or, better yet, engaged!
Manhandling Tip: We all have baggage. Keep it in the closet on first dates.
Tip 4. Don't spook your suitor. Now is not the time to point out your physical flaws. Only bring these complaints to people who can actually do something about them, and not to men who will now be forced to lie to you if they possess good manners.
Manhandling Tip: Confidence is sexy! Sometimes, thoughts are for the inside.
Tip 5. Don't talk about your personal pet peeves. Although your therapist might get butterflies inside when you talk about how traumatized you are by the staggering number of germs that thrive in public restrooms, the typical male will be horrified. You'll have violated the sacred air space of "romantic quality time" and these little monologues of strange pain will be as off-putting as if you started sorting unwashed laundry in a restaurant.
Manhandling Tip: You already know all about you. Keep your problems to yourself and get to know him.
Tip 6. Don't chase your date. Never deprive a man of the thrill of the chase. Besides, it's so much fun being caught! A woman can always initiate a first tea date, but after that, it's up to a man to decide whether he wants to pursue you. Entice men, play with them, and then release them! Allow men to initiate and take the lead in moving your relationship forward.
Manhandling Tip: When men chase you, they're much less likely to fly away.
Tip 7. Don't keep squawking. Don't feel pressured to try to fill up every second with meaningless chatter. If the conversation falls silent for a moment, don't panic, just let it happen. Natural pauses are sexy, and body language can be so much more powerful than words. Slowly smile at him and breathe. You may be surprised when he blurts out in the middle of a deliciously pregnant pause, "Come here and kiss me!"
Manhandling Tip: Remember, sometimes less conversation really is more.
Tip 8. Learn how to leave.
“Anyone can be pleasant when they're enjoying themselves, but the true test of character is how one behaves when terribly bored”
Anyone can be pleasant when they're enjoying themselves, but the true test of character is how one behaves when terribly bored, or worse, treated shabbily. There's nothing to be gained by suffering through a terrible date, so if you're having an awful time, depart quickly and gracefully, without being rude. When you're itching to leave, say: "Thank you so much for meeting me. I think it's time for me to go on home, Jerome. (Smile) Take care." Extend your hand for a quick shake, swiftly turn on your heel and depart.
Romantic Rule: If you're on date number one and aren't having fun, release men back into the wild immediately.
