Free Online Dating Sites
58Are Free Online Dating Sites Any Good At All?
Well that's the million dollar question... well not really, but hey it's still a question worth asking and one that I'm going to try and answer!
Maybe I should set the story up so that you can understand where I’m coming from and why I even care about this sort of stuff. Ok, first of all I live in Los Angeles, West Hollywood to be exact. But in actual fact I grew up in Sydney, Australia. Same old story. I wanted to make it big, so yeah, I save up my money, fulfilled the cleche and moved to Hollywood. The Land of Dreams. So what’s that got to do with Free Online Dating Sites?? Well, if you can be a little more patient, I’ll get to that part of the story!
The Dating Scene in America
Everyone here in LA seems to be so open. About relationships, about sex and all the rest. I grew up kind of shy (at least socially). Australia is pretty different, and I just wasn’t that confident back home anyways. I’d heard that it was easy to pickup in LA, but when I got here, well, let’s just say I had some bad experiences.
I stopped going out, still convinced that Online Dating was for creeps and weirdos I refused to dive in. Instead I got stuck into a copy of Neil Strauss’s “The Game” – like the rest of the entire male population. Sounded good, I tried Double Your Dating and all that stuff. I started to pickup at least, but, at the end of the day I didn’t even like the girls I was taking home. “Yeah, what’s wrong with that?”, I hear you ask? Well to be honest I wanted a girlfriend. But I couldn’t find too many decent girls in the bars and clubs of L.A. Big surprise? I think not!! AndI really didn't think that free online dating sites would be the answer.
She does look like she can do it!
Broke and Desperate, I turned to Free Online Dating Sites
So, a broke and struggling actor I turned to Free Online Dating Sites to try and solve my woes! It’s been a really interesting experience. Some good and some bad. I would love to hear about anyone else’s experiences out there in cyber-LaLa Land. And so after all of my time in La La Land, on the strip and at the beach – how did I go in Cyberspace?? Well I ended up trying something new called Letter4Love and I’m kind of glad that I did, apparently it has come out of Los Angeles and beats all other forms of onine dating. You should check it out.
And...Intriguing? Could this save the world from Free Online Dating SiteS?? ha ha! it's cool!

Trialing Plenty of Fish: Well It's Supposed to be One of the Best Free Online Dating Sites
Well they claim to generate over 300,000 relationships a year….apparently. What do they mean generate? Textual Intercourse or what? I looked it up on Alex Rankings and for a Free Online Dating Site it does get a lot of traffic, that’s for sure. It is definitely 100% free. It’s a great idea. But, well… here’s what happened to me:
- I put up a picture of myself on my profile
- I named myself, “Nice_Guy_In_LA”
- Filled out questions, ticked the heterosexual box
- Got Contacted by “Rodney” who wanted to know if I’d ever considered changing teams
- I quit and deleted my profile
Call me a prude, but I wasn’t game enough to stick it out. A lot of the profiles seemed like junk to me as well. I sent messages and winks to about 20 girls and didn’t hear back from any.
Conclusion. Next Site for me… onwards before I start to ponder what could possibly be wrong wioth me!
I'm Interested to see what this delivers

Online Dating - the way of the future? My friend's all tell me it is. I've been single for about 2 years now (I've had a few relationships and dates, but nothing significant). It never really bothered me that much, I'm pretty busy, have lots of friends and a good social life. I thought that my soul mate was lurking around the next corner or somewhere under the next rainbow. Letter4love looks set to finally solve any and all Online Dating Dramas, in a simple and guaranteed way so I'm definitely going to try and keep my eye on any developments with it. - 17 months ago
