With the explosion of online dating
sites has come a virtual smorgasbord of choices. There are free sites… I don’t suggest
those but if money is a real concern, they are better than nothing. There are
the large paid sites with many and varied features like chat, IM and even
matching using profiles. There are the less expensive paid sites with few
features. There are special interest sites for almost any thing you can think
of...outdoor enthusiasts, couch potatoes, religious, non-religious…like I
said…almost anything you can think of. So what’s a girl to do? A girl should
choose the site or sites that best fit her needs.
Here are some things to consider:
(1)
Cost. How much do you want or how much can you spend
each month for your membership (s)?
(2)
Features. Which features are the most important to you?
(A) Profile
matching systems. Is this a feature you really want or would you rather decide
who is right for you all by yourself?
(B) Chat
and IM’s? There are websites who offer chat rooms and IM’s on their sites. Does
that matter or would you be happy just sticking to private email.
(C) Outside
Events…such as speed dating? Are you interested in that?
(D) Privacy.
Some websites allow you to limit who can view your picture or your profile. Does
this matter to you or do you want as wide exposure as you can have?
(E)
Safety. There are websites who do background checks of
all subscribers and certify their age, marital status and background. Would you
feel safer using this feature?
These are a few things but not all
things you should think about when choosing an online dating service or
services. Do your homework and select wisely for the best results for you.
