Free Online Dating: Choosing The Right Web Site

By Shawn McWatson

There are many people who want to know about free online dating and it has quickly become the most popular way to talk to someone and meet them in person. I have joined many dating sites and it is usually just people wanting intercourse that were interested in me. However, I was able to find a few good people who were not just interested in intercourse and instead they were interested in friendship and possibly more.

I was always scared to try online dating because of the fear of meeting new people and because I was always afraid something would happen to me from meeting strangers. Meeting someone off the internet was just the same as meeting someone in person because they are all strangers.

The only thing I had to think about was where I would meet this person. I was scared to meet someone in a place that was unoccupied by people because of all the stories that I have heard. I finally decided that I was going to meet everyone at the local mall and this made me feel a whole lot better because I was around everyone and I did not have the fear about all the stories that I have heard.

I am not stating that online dating is bad but you should always try to keep yourself safe and meet someone in a well lit, well occupied place. You should meet them in a well occupied places as many times as it takes for you to get comfortable with them to be at least a little alone with them.

I did all of this because I wanted to know how many people would message me on the free site and on the site that charged me. I found that five more people messaged me on the free site than on the site that charged.

I am not implying that some people have as bad of luck as I do. I am simply stating that I did an experiment and that is what I found. It is important to be safe when you are going on a date with someone that you meet off the internet.

You want to make sure you are safe and no matter how safe the site is that you met this person on, you can not always trust this one hundred percent. You should always meet the person in a busy area, maybe a store or inside somewhere that has a few people.

You should check around at different dating sites and find the one that has the best reputation before you decide on the one you want to join. Check out a few and join more than one for the best results. There are many people who use online dating sites and there are probably a lot of people that are local to you who are on these free online dating sites. - 32510
