I'm not remotely single, but recently a young, single friend said they had looked into online dating only to be discouraged by the costs involved. Most services charge a monthly fee with add-ons for various services.
Recently I learned about an online dating site that is 100% free of charge. It's called LuvFree. (Don't confuse that with “free love.” At least I hope that's not what they mean.) You can send messages, watch videos, blog, rate others' photos (yikes!), and even video chat—all with no charge.
While I did not register to test it out, I cruised around the site a bit. Rather than making money off of the members, they make money with Google (and perhaps other PPC?) ads. The ads I saw were unobtrusive, so you can browse them if you want or easily ignore them.
Initially, my impression is that grammar lessons are sadly missing in school these days. But part of this could be due to the obvious English-as-a-second-language element going on. How do you respond to:
I like to meet interesting women for all possible and therefore all the beauties of the world write here!
Um…sure!
I'm also a bit taken aback by the “Send Kiss” button on every profile. Yea, maybe I'm just an old prude, but I wonder about the wisdom of sending intimacies to complete strangers.
Still, an easy to navigate site without cost can't hurt as long as you are cautious and use common sense. But perhaps that's the rub. Love and common sense can be miles apart.
