Free Dating WebsitesMore Than Just Pretty FacesFree dating websites that are truly free offer no upgrades. Everything is free. After you join with a valid email address you can fill out a profile, upload some pictures, and use all the functions on the website without having to pay more for premium functions. Most dating sites offer premium add-on services for a fee. Often these add on services are necessary if you want to actually contact and/or meet anyone. Truly free sites give you all bells and whistles just for signing up. Free.  Online dating is huge, and the free sites are among the most popular websites online. In fact, as of this writing there are free dating websites (see below) that are ranked higher than pay sites that have multi-million dollar advertising budgets. Being popular isn't everything, but if you want to meet people doesn't it make sense to go where the people are? Each different website has it's own way of approaching dating and what works for some might not work for others. Beyond reading reviews and seeing what other people like, it will be up to you to get out there and test the waters.I know people who have met their mates online. I'm talking about people who married someone they met on a dating website. People who are still married longer than other people I know who wouldn't dream of searching online for a potential mate. What this tells me is that it doesn't matter where you meet, online or offline, the success of your relationship depends on you. Free For Everyone...The problem with free dating websites is that they are free. Anyone can get on them. This means everyone not serious about actually finding a date can be there as well. As with all dating/social networking websites, everyone goes there for their own reasons. Some like to test the waters just to see what's out there. Some go to blog/journal and have their voice heard. Some like to build lists of friends. Some go to screw around with unsuspecting hopeful daters. For sure, the bad seeds are the exception not the rule, but read and follow the websites safety advice and keep yourself safe. If you ask me, the fun part is weeding through the chaff to find the good seeds that have the potential to blossom into great friends or more. Its kind of like panning for gold... you have to sift through the dirt and fake gold to get to the real stuff. Not always easy. Not always fun. In the end though, when you make a friend it all becomes worth it, and free dating websites make it affordable. Plentyoffish.com - Created in 2003, this is one of the most popular free dating sites, and one of the most popular websites out there period. There are over 10 million members and growing, all started by one guy in his apartment. The site is free deriving it's revenue from ads on the website. A whole lot of people like this site and it's free, so why not?! On their website they state, "We are about 5 times larger than any paid site, you will get more messages and interest here than all paid dating sites combined." Like I said, if you want to meet people, go where there are people, and there are plenty of people here. OKCupid.com - Launched in 2004, this is also a very popular free dating/social networking site. I haven't found any numbers indication how many members they have, but I see that there are over a million unique visitors to the site each month. It is and (they say) will remain free to use everything they have to offer. They claim to have all the functions of the other pay dating sites and more. With a price like free it can't hurt to take a look and see if this is for you. Did you find this information useful? Contact me with your questions, comments, and suggestions!
