Free Dating Sites

She was on the verge of serious mental breakdown after she bumped into a friend in a cocktail party. They were very close during their university years and they shared the same dorm. Afterwards they lost touch with each other.

She felt it was great to see her friend after such a long period of time. She confessed that when she introduced her to her boyfriend of which she hadn’t met on any free dating sites, she was a tad jealous. He was very attractive. “Lucky girl”, she thought and when she complemented her about her date she asked her about hers. All she could say was “Well, I’ve been single for a while now”, that’s really all she could say. Her friend repeated the question and she smiled and tried to avoid the subject. The next day her friend called her and asked if she would like to meet for a coffee. She had thoughts about not going but eventually gave it for the sake of the friendship.

During the coffee time, her friend asked her many questions about her life.  She generally wouldn’t share her problems with just anyone but they were long-time friends and I’m sure she trusted her. She told her of her failures in intimate relationships. After listening attentively her friend suggested that she join free dating sites. Before she could get a word in to protest the idea she insisted that free online dating is much different than regular dating and the offs of finding someone is increased exponentially. She explained how she had been having the same trouble for many years but she heard from a good friend about a reliable free dating sites. She gave it a shot and today she can safely say that’s how she met her boyfriend. Denise decided to register at a few free dating sites later that night.

She created my profile in a couple of popular free dating sites like PlentyofFish and FreeDateClub. She met and ended up dating quite a few guys through these free dating sites before she met her husband Jason. They dated for about 9 months and decided to tie the knot last Christmas. Today he couldn’t ask for anything more in her life because she feels she has found her best friend and soul-mate in Jason. She still thanks her old University friend and the free dating sites she registered at. ; they’ve brought bright sunshine into her life and would like to let single women out there who are afraid to join free dating sites to take the leap of faith cause you never know what you can find.

Other people join free dating sites because they want to scam people into giving them their personal information. They take this personal information and try to steal their identity and basically rob them of all their money – or at the very least milk them of millions if they can. In this case one of the best things to do is read about free dating sites safety just to make sure you’re not getting scammed or potentially getting yourself into trouble.

Another reason people join free dating sites is simply to meet new friends. Some people are much to busy to go out and find new friends or might be much too shy. These type of people love free dating sites especially because they don’t have to fork out cash for such a menial task.

Then there is another reason to join and that is to spread news. Some people like to use free dating sites to promote their business, services or the new mix-cd. I say why not. I don’t mind people joining my site if they simple want to promote themselves in some way or another. This is another reason and it’s truly not bad because it helps build relationships and it helps get people closer to each other.

Dating and meeting people is very important and a basic human functions. It is an important activity that both men and women participate in on a daily basis no matter where you are from. The point is, if you want to save your money and meet someone new in order to bring them into your life for any reason, don’t join a paid dating site, join a free dating site and take your time to meet someone. Eventually it will pay off.

Dating and sex are two things which are totally and completely linked to a massive extent and some would even go to the extent of saying that the two are inseparable! There is every chance or probability that if you are having a romantic meeting after meeting someone at free dating sites then at some point you will want to go to bed with each other and get to know one another much more intimately. For those who are religious and for whom faith is a priority, sex during the dating or courting period remains within the boundaries of marriage. For some others sex is initially a just a simple test of compatibility – a big one.

If you don’t get on well in the bedroom, you won’t be getting much further in the relationship department. The current generation, generation Y are sexually very demanding and they know how to give and receive pleasure and always expect the same in return.

Of course everyone should be able to express themselves and pursue sexual activities that are right for them without causing pain or anxiety to others. Having sex with a partner during the courting or dating period allows one to take the opportunity to explore their sensual side of life. Whether you are looking for love, sex or a friend there will be a match for you.

There are more than 10 million people worldwide looking for a sexual relationship. Quality sex dating should provide satisfaction and pleasure, easy and quick as possible. Free dating sites include a community of very exploratory and mature individuals who may be looking for all kinds of adult-related things. These free dating sites usually support a huge membership of single men and women looking for you just to have sex so beware. You have to be sure of what you’re getting into before you make the commitment to meet someone from a free dating sites.

There are millions of free dating sites on the Internet and if you take the time to sift through the mire, no matter what kind of relationship you are looking for, be it sexual, platonic, marriage or so forth, you are bound to find it.

Have you heard? eHarmony, which is a paid dating site – not one of the free dating sites, is offering a “Free Communication Weekend”.

What they have planned to do is offer a free messaging to all their members from today, December 31, 2008 to this coming Sunday, January 4, 2008. Isn’t that lovely? It is but it’s nothing like a free dating site.

Why? Because you will still have to submit your credit card details and eHamony wouldn’t have it any other way. Once you submit your credit card details and January 5th comes around, you’re on the hook. From what I’ve gathered the rate you pay to send someone a message is quite hefty.

From the looks of it, eHarmony is simply catching the vapors of free dating sites. Their membership signups have gone down tremendously over the past few years with the slew of free dating sites popping up all over the net, all over the world.

I have a great idea for eHarmony and the rest of the paid dating sites: why not change your business model and simply start offering free dating services instead of gouging the pockets of people looking for love? You know free dating sites offer the exact same services you do and even though you have fancy commercials with couples sitting on swings sharing ice-cream cones together, our free dating sites produce the same and if not better relationships than you do.

Why? (sorry for the 20 questions) Because free dating sites let you message people a trillion times, all for free. Being able to message someone without checking your credit card statement really gives you the chance to find out of that person you are chatting with is a match, a good or even perfect match!

So I would say free dating sites offer more than the snazzy commercials paid dating sites offer.

Have you ever wondered what some of your more favorite free dating sites used to look like way back in the day? Well I have and I tell you this, they look quite funny. No, I’m not making fun of or poking at any of these oldies but goldies of the free dating site scene. I’m just pointing out that when websites are first launched or projects have just begun, we may find ourselves going back to the old drawing board many times before we finally feel like we’ve gotten it right.

Below are the top five Ghosts of Free Dating Sites Past. But hold your horses – viewer discretion is advised.

My favorite ghost of free dating sites past is PlentyOfFish.com. PlentyOfFish.com is considered one of the largest free dating sites in the world to date. That claim is justified as PlentyOfFish.com owner Markus Fiend boasts a membership of over five million. But way back in the day (January 30th, 2003 to be exact) PlentyOfFish.com looked right funny.

These days PlentyOfFish has a blue background that is pleasant for the eyes, very few fish, integrated banner ads and much better organization but in 2003 it looked like the image to the right. My question? How did he get this far?

The second ghost of free dating sites past has to go to OKCupid.com which is also by far a very large and successful free dating site. It too has been around since 2003 but it wasn’t offering it’s single members much related to free dating back in those days. In fact, all OkCupid.com was offering in those days (February 11, 2004 to be exact) was a tiny piece of text at the top of the page – left aligned – saying “okcupid.com”. Go get’em tiger!

Later than year (June 22, 2004 to be exact) things changed. OKCupid.com adopted the nice-for-they-eyes-blue like PlentyOfFish, snagged a few stock photos of a few pretty women sitting by a computer screen – obviously looking for love. And what’s really interesting is that in those days they were actually accepting developer resumes. Nice touch.

They obviously and dramatically changed things up a bit over the years and successfully became what they are today: a safe haven for those looking for love in all the right places. Yes, on free dating sites.

The third ghost of free dating sites past belongs to non-other than FlirtBox.com. According to the way-back-machine they’ve been around since 2003 and have under-gone an array of changes over the years in the same way as the other two ghosts of free dating sites past. They too have now adopted the easy-on-the-eyes-blue background and their membership numbers have obviously increased substantially.

Our fourth ghost of free dating sites past is an oldie. They’ve been around since 1999. Our golden oldie is Mingles.com. My oh my how things have changed since then. Since 1999 they’ve ditched their sexy scarlet background for the easy-on-the-eyes-blue background that our other top 3 ghosts of free dating sites past sites have adopted as well. They’ve substantially increased in membership and have become world-renowned.

Our fifth and final ghost of free dating sites past would be none other than SinglesCanada.com. My how things have changed. The interesting thing about this free dating site is that it’s been around since December of 1998. Talk about trust. Once again they eventually decided to adopt the easy-on-the-eyes-blue background color that PlentyOfFish uses but the question remains: whose easy-on-the-eyes-blue background came first? It certainly wasn’t me!

I’ve gathered some stats from my website traffic analytics service for my free dating sites and found that the top number of visits to the site this year along was not during the dead and dark days of winter but were actually the glory days of the summer.

There were actually two months where members of free dating sites logged in the most or new members signed up and those months were June and July. There were some last-ditch attempts at finding love on a free dating site on the months of August and September but there was an obvious decline.

My theory? Well I like to delve into deep pre-historic – hunt v.s. the hunted instinctive theories: the summer is full of hot and sexy single men and women and the facts are facts; you can’t win them all so why not search online for single members who have joined free dating sites?

I know when I was single, I wasn’t the only one who would talk around the camp-fire about my desires to find someone from a free dating site before the holidays and the dark nights of winter. Who wants to be alone when there’s nothing else to do but be alone? Plus this Generation X generation of ours is getting old. A lot of us are in our 30s so tie the desires of summer and the need to fill a relationship gap in the winter with not many people our age truly enjoing the single life and you’ve got a giant spike in free dating site traffic for the summer months.
