With so many dating services available, you're forced to ask, which one is right for me? Not all dating services are the same, and not help you look for the same thing. Here's a quick and easy list to help you pick the right dating service for you.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide what you're looking for in a date. Are you looking for a soul mate, or maybe just some company for the night? Be honest with yourself, there are many dating services that offer different arrangements.

  2. Step 2

    Research dating services. Sure, there's Match.com and eHarmony.com, but there's also plentyoffish.com, yahoo personals, lifetimeofsoulmates.com, or, for those single evenings of companionship there's adultfriendfinder.com. That's just to name a few, a very few of the available dating services. That's also just the online ones.

  3. Step 3

    Read as many reviews of the dating services that you can. There are many available online. You can also ask anyone you know who's used one. Match.com and eHarmony.com are the two most popular; you probably know many people that have used one or both.

  4. Step 4

    Maybe you're better in person? In that case, you may want to skip the online dating services and attend local singles mixers in your area. Keep in mind, there are ones set up for teens, religous dating mixers, dating mixers set up by race, sexual preference, and even interests and hobbies.

  5. Step 5

    This is the final step. Pick one, or two, dating services to try. Try to use ones that offer a free trial period. This will allow to get familiar with other users and with the practices of the dating services you've chosen.

Tips & Warnings
  • Definitely go on the advice of friends and family
  • Good luck, it's never easy to find love. Keep at it!
  • Be careful, check out any dating service before using them.
