The dating sites are so full of red flags! What I’ve discovered over the years is that each site has a slightly different one. So, if you think you have learned your lesson and spotted a red flag on site A, don’t get too comfortable when you get to site B. There will be a red flag/s there also; it just won’t be the same as the one on site A! To sum it up...? Keep your eyes wide open...

Here are just a few of the Red Flags I have spotted over the years...

There is a Limited Free Trial-The limited free trial will only give you access to certain features. It also hides their flaws. If a site is telling you they are #1, then they should give you full access in order to backup their statement.

The member’s page does not show the last log in date-This makes the site appear to have more active members than they actually do. If you are emailing people, and never get a response? I have no doubt you are emailing inactive members. The lack of responses can really be a blow to the ego....Don’t take it personal!

They will ask for your credit card at the time you sign up for the Free Trial-Please read the fine print...then read it again! Sometimes there is clause that you are agreeing to recurring billing...unless; they receive your cancellation by mail. Not e-mail! And, if the recurring billing process starts, you will not get a refund!

There are limited search options-When joining an online dating site, the following search options are an absolute must-Age, location, occupation, last log in date, nationality, religion. Before sending the first email, you want to make sure you are compatible in as many areas as possible.

Relax...polish your mouse and keyboard...start shopping for an online dating site that is worthy of your membership!

Take your time and find a quality site that will treat you with respect, honesty and courtesy. There are thousands of choices...get started!
