Are you a Picky Dater? You can Find Love Online, too.

Although most online daters prefer quantity when it comes to finding matches, there are some who prefer people who share the same interests, mindset, or passion. While larger sites like Match.com or eHarmony are good for the majority of single men and women, niche online dating sites approach love from a different angle. Instead of appealing to the masses, they cater to those who have very specific guidelines of who they will and won't date.

Generally, my advice is to keep a more open mind and avoid limiting your options. But for those of you who aren't finding love via mainstream channels, niche dating sites might be a better option.

While the list of sites for every predilection is long, following are a few highlights for those who know what they are looking for:

Cupidtino.com - For the Apple lovers out there, this site provides matches who share the fervent passion for iPads and iPods that you do. Beware PC users: you can only access the site via Apple products.

DateMyPet.com - If you want to find someone who loves your pet as much as you do, this site might be for you. The profile section includes a section entitled "my pet would describe me as". If you're only looking for a playmate for Fido, the site offers this option as well.

DateForLeave.com - If you're in the military and are expecting to be deployed, this can definitely affect your opportunities for romance. Most people want to date someone they can see on a regular basis. But there are women and men who understand and share this lifestyle, so DateforLeave.com has established a site to help them connect.

TallFriends.com - While many women like their men tall, tall women often have more of a problem dating. They prefer to look men in the eye, or at least not tower over them. And men generally gravitate towards women who are shorter than they are. This website helps the tall folks get past the first date and the issue of height requirements.

TrekPassions.com - If you have been hiding your passion and knowledge for all things Star Trek when you date, this website allows you to release. Meet up with other fans as enthusiastic as you are, and see if there's a romantic connection as well.

Remember, if these sites do not work out for you, I would also recommend checking our eHarmony.com review and our Match.com review.
