Dating online has never been easier. Not only are there numerous websites to choose from with various formats, but there are also a number of specialized online dating sites that range from religious backgrounds to tastes in wine. However, one thing still separates these websites from each other – whether you pay or not. And does that really make a difference?

Many people say that you do get what you pay for when it comes to online dating. Is it true that the more money you invest in your online dating experience, the more you tend to get in return, or that free dating sites are full of time wasters? If you think about it, the cost of paid online dating, usually around $20 to $30 per month, is really not that great when you compare it with what you would spend on other leisure and social activities such as bars and clubs.

Another thing to remember is that with pay sites, membership usually requires payment by credit card. This gives some added peace of mind that the person is who they say they are, though there’s no guarantee.

While there are a few excellent 100% free dating services, there are some which claim to offer a free service, but which are for all purposes in fact pay sites. After taking the time to fill in the details to become a member, you find that you have only limited access to the features of the site. For example some dating services will allow you to post your profile for free, but will not allow you to interact with other members until you pay a fee. Others will allow you to interact, but only through specific channels – email, for example as opposed to video cams.

If you’re new to the waters of online dating, the free websites can be a great way to get your feet wet. However, they can also be filled with people who just want to see what online dating is all about.

When you’re paying for a service, you tend to be more serious about actually meeting people and wanting to find a relationship. But if you’re short on money, free online dating sites do exist and you can use them to find your Mr. or Mrs. Right. But just as with finding any other dating website, be sure to read some reviews before you sign up. And never ever give out your personal information to anyone that asks.

Amoureux.com offers a free dating service. However, I found the initial registration a little frustrating. I kept getting redirected to different parts of the site. I spent several minutes filling out the form to try and get some more information, but I was then greeted with a message “Sorry, not posted yet!”. Why won’t a site make details known before you register with them?

The profile requires you to enter information on two separate screens. I bypassed some of the details and finally a profile was created. When I browsed through other profiles they were vague too. Perhaps this is the reason.

The site has a good chat section, listed by home country, age, sex, and what languages each participant speaks. The chatrooms don’t appear to be monitored, so be prepared for adult topics. After browsing for a while, I came across a woman looking for a husband – not even a date!

When searching for people, you can pick any location in the world. There may not be any nearby matches, but the option is there. Clicking on the search categories can be a little tricky. You have to select who you are looking for and what they want instead of just saying you are seeking a male or female.
