Which service to use?

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Having grown up in an age where going on a “blind date” that was set up by a matchmaking friend was nervewracking, I find it very interesting that so many people have turned to the Internet dating services to meet single women or men.  I’m not sure how I would feel about using the Internet in that way if I was single!  There certainly are a plethora of dating service websites on the Internet; that is for certain!  How on earth would I decide which service is the best one to use?

There is a website called Primedatingsites.com that rates and reviews many of the most popular dating websites.  I suspect that if I were in the market to use a dating website, using this rating service would help me narrow down the choices.  Looking at the different websites, I recognize several of them from television commercials, such as Chemistry.com and eHarmony.com.  But they also have ratings on dating services I had never heard of before, such as American Singles.com and FriendFinder.com.

I don’t know if I would ever get up the nerve to use a service like that or not, but I do have two relatives that have used Internet dating services with good success and have had lasting relationships come out of using them.
