Online dating services purport to have been helping adult singles find dates, practically since the internet became commercialized. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of free and paid dating services on the web.

You've got so many choices to choose from depending on your particular interests.   If you're into something unique, you'll find it.  If you're into something far out there, you'll definitely find that as well.   There are small niche sites with few members and there are huge established sites with millions of members.    You'll find dating sites catering to Christians, single parents, artists, international singles, ethnic singles, big women, and even to tall people!   Generally speaking, you're going to find a monthly fee based format, with most offering an introduction period that the sites hope will hook you into signing on with them.    Because of the extreme diversity of these sites, our focus will be on mainstream established sites.   When it comes to dating sites, there are strong arguments that the bigger sites are the best.
