Online dating found its first predecessor, in ads placed in newspapers. In such cases, ads appeared in the personal advertisements column and called for like minded people to contact a particular number or address. Thing have changed, but only somewhat. The end result of a free online dating service is to bring similarly inclined people in contact with each other.
The Concept of the free online dating service
At first glance, the prospect of sitting in front of the computer and interacting with people and waiting for that perfect date to contact you, looks abjectly dismal. However, looking at it from a much more positive side, you will find that this is a great concept indeed as it helps you find friends, relationships, or just new people to talk to and build a relationship with. And all this, only with the click of a mouse!
As the name suggests, a free online dating service uses the services of the Internet to help people in search of that perfect someone, who they can ask out for a date. It works on the principle of collecting a large database of users and making them available for the members of the particular site. The data base includes all the members of the site. The members of the particular site providing a free online dating service can then choose amongst the profiles and get in touch with the person they like.
This concept is inherently simple, and innovative. That is the reason why the whole idea of a free online dating service has become immensely popular.
Reviewing the Concept
A concept can not only be bad or good. There is always a middle ground that should be traversed with caution. On the whole, internet based free online dating service has its good points and the bad.
First up, let’s talk about the advantages of a free online dating service:
? Some people make heavy weather of the process of social interaction. It’s very difficult to relate to a person you are meeting for the first time, as you don’t have a clear idea about his/her likes and dislikes. This is where a free online dating service saves the day. All you need to do is go through the profile of the person, interact with him/her and you will know whether you are compatible with them or not.
? Anonymity is one of the foremost advantages of online dating. Even if you are a member of the site, you can withhold your identity till you are sure of the intentions of the person that you are interested in. This is great news for introverts, who are a little uncomfortable with socializing whether offline or online. As no one knows the real identity of the person, people can afford to be awkward, and also make mistakes.
Now the disadvantages
? One of the biggest disadvantages of a free online dating service is that your personal information can get compromised if it falls into the hands of people who mean to do harm at your expense.
? It’s difficult to sift the lies from the truth and vice versa.
In our estimation, the advantages of a free online dating service far outweigh the purported disadvantages. However, to be on the safer side, you must exercise due care before you embark on the exciting journey of online dating.

One call, Three weeks...
By: Nes | 17-08-2008
So, my girlfriend and I live together in California and she recently went to Mexico with her parents and brothers for approximately 3 weeks. Throughout the entire time she was there didn't bother to call me or send me an e-mail. The last day she was there she sent me an e-mail basically blaming me for not e-mailing her and how i showed that i didn't miss her. She said this even though she knew that I had no number to contact her and I left her comments on myspace telling her how much i missed her!
Well, she is back but i am still doubting the fact that she couldn't go to a calling center and calling me really quick....
