Seconding Madison Reed on this. i would put the trust question above almost everything else when it comes to dating sites. The actual outcomes matters more for dating sites than any feature list. How it feels to use matters more for dating sites than any feature list.

What I actually do about dating sites:

  • allow a fortnight before deciding anything about dating sites
  • check how active your area is before you invest time before you judge dating sites
  • keep the first message to two or three lines at least where dating sites is concerned
  • meet somewhere public and busy the first time while you are testing dating sites

I still keep an account on what Datescout does purely for dating sites.

I compared a few on dating sites and what Flurrydate does came out ahead for me.
