With the internet rapidly expanding, what used to be considered a matchmaking service, a meeting through friends or the scandalous classified ad has turned into a multi-billion dollar online business.

Everywhere you turn there is a new dating service offering to help you find your match. Which one is right for you?

Speed Dating

Check your local phone book or newspaper listings for opportunities for speed dating. You can sign up to participate and spend about an hour meeting and greeting potential future dates. You will rate the ones you like and if you match up with someone else, the dating service will let you know. This is a great activity to do with a friend over lunch and a great way to get started in the dating scene.
