How To Find Free Online Dating Sites

By Shawn McWatson

If free online dating appeals to you then you have come to the right place. Free online dating has quickly become a popular thing among many ages because it is easier for people to talk when it is through e-mail. I never understood why it was so easy for me to talk to someone that I could e-mail versus someone that was face to face.

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.

Let's face it, if you are reading this article you already know that it is very unsafe to meet a stranger in a place that is not occupied by people. If you do not know this person and you meet them and they turn out to be some of the people you only hear on the news then you might be in trouble.

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.

After several dates I finally got comfortable enough to go somewhere alone with certain people and it always seemed to end up well. I always used my best judgement and always made sure I was comfortable with the person before I left with them. You should always make sure to use good judgement when you are using an online dating site.

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.
