P.S. I would also start an email on a site such gmail.com or any other to use just for responding to people to whom you don't know yet. Don't use your main email address.

To me, one is no better than the next. Men are playing games on every one of them! I did find the non paying site-Plenty of Fish to be a little more seedy than the rest. I don't bother with dating sites anymore. All the men can go to hell.I'll stay by myself and hermit out for the rest of my life. I'm not too bitter now, you think?? Lol

I can't imagine why people tell you that the free sites are the safest. I'm the author of "Carnal Abuse by Deceit" and soon to be released, "Don't Swallow That Catfish Hook." I advocate for victims that have been exploited by e-dating romance scams and the single site from which I've seen the highest volume of scams is Plenty of Fish.

A recent review by the owner of an elite dating site determined that approximately 53% of dating profiles contain lies.

Quick Tips-

Don't give them your personal contact info.

Let them know right up front that you'll want to check their ID. People who balk are telling you identity lies.

If their grammar does not reflect their education level, drop them.

If they want to converse with you at a specific time each day, drop them.

If they start calling you a pet name in short order, drop them.

Check their photo on Google Reverse Photo Search. It'll tell you whether its their's or belongs to someone else. It'll also let you know when it began appearing on the internet. It's obviously not what they look like today if it's been displayed for 4 years!

Use BeenVerified or other background searches.

Don't give them money..... for any reason, not for an ailment, not to travel to see you, not as an investment, etc.

Don't have sex without thoroughly checking the person out.

The most common cons are for sex, assets and immigration.

Be careful!

Good luck

I have not had good luck with online dating. I am on Plenty of Fish and Our Time. I find I will get a lot of views and some winks and messages and when I suggested meeting for coffee they disappear. This makes me think they are trolling. That being said I am still on them and browse. I also go out with my friends and try to keep busy. I think it is harder when older. I am now 60. Older guys seem to want younger woman. I understand the want of having someone special in your life. I am hopeful still that someday it will happen.

In fact, the online dating safety has been turning into a social problem.
The filter mechanism makes more and more scam money digger swarm into these online dating websites, so you have to check them more and more carefully before join in. The most secure way is reading some reviews of the online dating, you just need to search like "xxx dating (sites) reviews" or "top xxx dating sites" to find these reviews site. For example, http://www.senior-dating-sites.com is the trustworthy review site of senior dating segment.

i have a great safe online dating web site for you http://ukrainewomen.info, try it, my friends are all days long there, and some of them already found their love!

I would be very careful. Some are predators.

YES, YES, YES!! I am 71 and have date online on and off for 10+ years! It is VERY safe because you do not give out your email or phone number until you are ready. Keep it local and meet people during the day for a cup of coffee in a public place.

I can tell you that in 10 years of doing it - people are VERY REAL! The fudge, their age, their ams of hair, their height, and weight - both males and females. But they are otherwise FOR REAL and just like you - lonely and looking for companionship.

Men who are looking for sex are fairly open about it and will say in their profile that they are verily or that they like to kiss, etc. Others are ok with friendship or companionship...at least to begin with.

I have met some very decent friends!

Indeed too many out there, if you are over 50, please try OurTime; If you're over 60, please try SeniorPeopleMeet and if you are over 70, it does not has so many to choose, a better one for over 70 is http://www.datingover70.com

Is there any hope?? I would be scared to go on any dating site, and someone said Prince Charming would not make house calls. I had a bad experience on Instagram, of all places. There are scammers on there, so don't let just anyone on your profile. If you don't know the fellow, and his friends list consists of 500 females, consider that a red flag. If he immediately direct messages you, that is also a red flag. I don't have time to waste with gamers.
