When you are serious about going online to find that someone special, it may be overwhelming when you first try. If you simply type in, �online dating sites� there are literally hundreds of places to go and search for singles. But do you really want to create that many profiles?

While browsing through the maze of free dating sites, one wonders if one is on the right track since there are hundreds of such free dating sites. Most paid dating sites market their facilities proclaiming to secure more members as well as better compatibility assurances. One just wonders how filling in a standard compatibility chart could be the barometer for actual matching of minds. But then it is the job of a dating site to match like-minded people in an effort to bring them together.

Besides, the unpaid sites work on similar lines by providing an opportunity for people to meet, and find for themselves whom to choose. In fact in a way with free dating sites you have the option of being able to search all day for that ideal ...
... person.

Only you can truly answer that question, but we can certainly give you some pointers on finding the best sites which may work for you. First, take an inventory of yourself. Is there a specific type of partner you are looking for? For example, do you have a certain ethnic group you belong to and want your partner to belong to also? If so, there are sites catering to niches like Asian singles, Italian singles, European singles and any other ethnic group you can think of. There are also sites specific to Catholic singles, Jewish Singles and Christian singles where you can join and search.

Before getting yourself registered onto a matchmaking service, you should be clear about what is it that you want? Is it a casual flirting or a serious relationship, or friendship that you are interested in? Once you have decided, you can join a group accordingly and find similar people.

Last, how much money do you want to spend? There are websites that are free to list a short profile on and allow you to search. Many other sites allow you to post a profile, but in order to contact anyone, you need to have a paid membership. These memberships can range anywhere from $10 a month to $50 a month. The fee sites offer many features such as anonymous calling, chats, video greetings, instant messaging and an unlimited number of contacts. If you choose to go for a fee site, make sure they have a lot of singles in your local area and that it is worth your money.

As with any matchmaking services, don�t give out personal information to anyone. Addresses and phone numbers should be kept in confidence until you are positive the person is trustworthy. While most people on matchmaking services are earnestly looking, a few bad apples can always spoil the fun.
