Almost all online dating sites allow you to put up a profile for free, however you usually can’t contact other members and have limited use of many of the functions unless you pay to join. There are some free dating sites available such as iDate which allows you to contact other members with no charge. The free sites however tend to have fewer members and the messaging, search and profile information is generally very basic. Since the sites are free there is also a much higher chance of fake profiles and possible scams. Paying a membership fee means someone on a paid site is possibly more serious about finding someone.
