Is the best online dating service, the biggest?
According to surveys, 84% of online singles prefer online dating services
for finding "The One" and building long term relationships. In
the light of this fact, the question is: Are the best online
dating services, the biggest sites where you can search for your
match from millions of profiles, or in other words where you
cannot find anyone actually interested in your profile?
In the huge pool of internet dating services, there are very
decent dating sites with tens of thousands of members rather
than millions of profiles, giving much better services than
bigger dating sites, who are only concerned with their marketing
campaign and their sales.
So how can you choose the best dating site for you?
Practice makes perfect. Although i don't recommend you to use
free dating services, for practicing and understanding what you
can get out of online dating and why you're looking for your
mate in online dating, can be a good practice.
Why don't I recommend a completely free dating services?
Because completely free dating sites are places where scammers
hide and look for their hunts to fall in to their evil traps.
Finding genuine profiles is two times harder than cheap dating
sites with less profiles.
So after you decide what you're looking for, you can take one of
the following actions as your next step:
If you only wanted to try or have fun with online dating, there
is no point for you to register a paying service and you can try
different free dating
sites keeping scammers in mind. But if your intentions are
serious, if you really want to meet a genuine person and start
dating with her/him, then you must find a middle sized, cheap
dating site with plenty of good features. Being middle sized,
the dating service in concern, will try to impress you and other
members with flashy features for building a reputation and you'd
be able to find your match within the middle sized pool of
profiles more easily and effectively.
So what features should you look for in the dating service of
your choice?
- Privacy. Your details should be kept confidential from other
members. You can check privacy terms of any decent dating site
from their terms and conditions page.
- Chat and messaging service. Chat services in dating sites are
really useful. You can get advantages of instant messaging with
complete confidentiality which is better than using online
messengers which reveal your email address, immediately.
- Statistics and reports. Statistics and reports of you, and
other members who are interested in you could be very handy for
you. You can keep track of people who've sent you message,
viewed your profile. You can then, get in contact with people
who're actually interested.
- Local dating option. A dating service with a distance
searching option for your country could be a big plus as you can
find your matches in your local area and you'd not have to go
thousands of miles to meet your match.
Besides good features, getting opinions from decent review sites
and friends could be a good idea. You'll have an idea of the
site you're joining, You can know if the site you choose, is a
reputable and/or a genuine dating site with genuine profiles.
In the big sea of dating sites, finding the one which suits your
needs the best is not easy. So many factors are in concern but
once you've found it, it's easier to find love, than you think.
Statistics show that online dating really works and that many
dates turn into serious relationships or marriages. All you need
to do is to know what you want from online dating and decide
which dating site to recruit as your assistant.
