Before joining any free online dating service, you need to keep in mind that there are different models available. Generally, people look for dating services that are completely free. However, you will find that when you go looking for this type of service, it will be difficult to distinguish those that are claiming to be free but are not, those that only offer a free trial, and those that are completely free.

In order to choose the correct type of dating service, you need to distinguish between these three types so that you do not make the mistake of thinking you are joining a free service, only to finding out that you have to pay in the end.

The only way that you can distinguish between these type of sites is by paying special attention to the actual homepage. Always read the fine line so that you do not feel sorry afterwards. A dating site that offers a free trial will expect you to convert to a paid member after a few weeks. At this point, you will not have the choice of staying free with the limited services that they have. This can easily be found out by simply reading what they say on their homepage. In most cases they will start with something like "try out for free". This does not mean that the service will be completely free, but simply that you will be trying it out for a certain amount of time.

There are other services that are unfortunately less direct in telling you that you have to pay afterwards. What they generally do is tell you to join for free, and then once you become a member, you realize that there is nothing much you can do unless you get their paid service. However, you still have the choice of staying as a free member, but in most cases it will do nothing for you simply because that particular membership is useless. When looking at the fine print of this type of site, you need to look around for the terms of service. Generally from this area, you should be able to get the whole idea of what it is they offer for free compared to what it is they offer as a member.

Completely free dating sites will make it very clear from the beginning. They will generally let you know directly that the site will always be free with no extra costs hidden. In addition to this, they will explain to you that everything that you get will be part of the package and can even be compared to pay to use sites. However, even when joining these type of sites, make sure that you do join one that is popular and has a good reputation.
