Are there any FREE online dating sites that are good?
Question Posted Friday June 12 2009, 2:12 am
Does anyone know of any good online dating sites that are literally 100 percent free, like you can send messages and read messages for free and you don't have to use a credit card? I mean seriously, free! A free dating site where you don't even have to spend one penny. What are the online dating sites that have a good reputation and have a lot of users on it, and they are totally free, period?
My mom wants to find someone and I KNOW she would go for online dating websites if she didn't have to dish out a lot of money just to begin to "talk" to someone. I want my mom to be happy and find her a good partner so I thought online dating might be a good idea for my single mom.

Pay-sites may seem inconvenient, but you are paying someone to screen out the crazies and match their applicants based on common aspects and personalities. Dating sites such as Eharmony or Match.com are NOT social networks. If all your Mom wants to do it "talk" to someone, get her on Facebook and have her join a couple of networking groups or find her a chat site. Those things are free. If she's interested in DATING and you feel she needs a little help with that, its probably worth the money to invest in a membership. If she is too cheap or can't afford it, maybe you would consider it as a gift for her. I would strongly advise against "free dating" site. Loonies and pervs most likely won't pay to meet people, so they flock to those places, and the Internet allows those freaks to mask themselves. You may be putting your Mom in a dangerous situation by encouraging her to visit those places. Consider the pay-sites or Facebook. Everyone deserves love in their life. I hope your Mom finds some of her own! [ dearcandore's advice column | Ask dearcandore A Question ]
