These are the most important questions to choose the datingsite that suits you most:
What is the cost of your online dating?
In other words : How much money do you want to spend on online dating? Some dating sites are entirely free, such as Plentyoffish.com. Most of them offer free services to a certain degree (searching and looking at pictures), such as Meetic.com. But from the moment you want to communicate, mail, chat or text a man or woman, you have to take a paid membership.
Most membership for online dating last for 1 month, 3 months or 6 months. And Facebook, the dating site without claiming it, is free, but you have to have a friend of the women you would like to meet in order to contact her. Most of the online dating services cost several 10s of euros. Check out your budget, and try to take advantage of special offers: a lot of datinsites offer the first month for free.
What country do you live in ?
This is important, as every different country has its favourite dating-sites. Whereas Plentyoffish.com and Match.com are very popular in the US and the UK, other countries such as France, Spain, Belgium and Italy are « Meetic territory ». See the comparison of dating-sites and countries here.
How old are you ?
The younger amongst us, the « digital natives » fancy the very fast communication by text message, messaging, twitter, chat or Facebook. They use an iPhone or a BlackBerry to go online. Thirty-something stick to their PC or their Apple Powerbook to do the only surfing. Most of the online dating platforms offers a site for the mobile users. Plentyoffish.com and Meetic.com aim for the women in the age range of 25-45. And some specific dating sites attracts the men and women above 45 (example: 50+match.be, seniordating.com)
Are you looking for some short-term fun and adventure, of for a long-lasting committing relationship ?
Different needs, different dating sites. Meetic even created a specific spin-off for the longer term relationship, called MeeticAffinity because the original Meetic, err...., was invaded by people looking for short, passionate and intense love affair, but short-term.
So, if you got an idea of the budget you want to spent, the kind of the relationship you are looking for, you should find the answer to your question on our site. Don't hesitate to surf around: it's entirely free!
