Create a separate e-mail account to house your dating mail (easy and free at www.google.com/mail, http://www.hotmail.com/, and http://www.yahoo.com/), which can help protect your identity and manage messages. Opt out of its e-mail list. Otherwise, everything from ads to account information can end up in your personal inbox.
You can spend up to about $65 or so a month. It's wise to sign up for a free trial membership, which most, if not all, services offer.
Most dating services require you fill out a personality profile questionnaire. Some sites will do the matchmaking for you, others simply let you shop around.
You can choose from several different online dating services. There are Christian dating services, Jewish dating services, Mormon dating services. Web sites also exist for mail order brides. Chanceforlove.com specializes in helping men find Russian brides. You can even look for a millionaire at Sugardaddie.com "where the classy, attractive and affluent can meet."
There are dating services for dog lovers, smokers, non-smokers, golfers, country music lovers, "cougars" (older women for younger men), sites that base matches on astrology - and there are even a few that specialize in dalliances outside of marriage.
