Dating is a Game of Chance

One such site, Great Expectations, has a legal action against them in Washington State. I read about it on the Internet, and I felt as if I were reading my own story. What happened to all of the others who filed a complaint, happened to me, quite a few years ago, exactly as they tell it.

Great Expectations is in most every state. When I joined they had not as yet been on the Internet. You can easily find out by searching for their dating site. Beware! Stay away unless you want to build up a hefty charge account bill. They are smooth talkers.

They will invite you to visit for more detailed information. Then they will make promises that are rarely kept. All they are interested in is your money, whether or not you find a date and marry is merely incidental.

They lure you with a sales pitch and in no time you find yourself joining. The fee for membership is not merely a few dollars, but can go from a thousand up to five thousand dollars, depending on your financial situation. They look up your financial status and charge accordingly,

Be careful and investigate Great Expectations before you consider joining. I know from personal experience what I am saying. The only thing that you can be assured of getting for the money, is a large charge on your charge account. If you are lucky, you might meet a date, but that is so remotely possible it is not worth a visit to the site, or the drive to their office.

One other site that promises you dates, and is advertised on most television stations is EHarmony.com. They do not charge an elaborate fee, it is about par with Match.com and quite reasonable for their services. However, the chances of you getting matched with a serious date and the probability of marriage is slim. Understand, you are not the only person to contact each person. Dozens more find themselves perfectly matched with the same man or woman.

This is not the fault of the dating site.This is just the say the dating site works. They are not doing anything dishonest or illegal, and they never promise that you will meet the love of your life. All they tell you is that it is a possibility!

Understand, that while you are filling out a very long and detailed personality form, others are doing the same. It is a match, much like Bingo, who ever matches with 5 in a row might get the prize of a date and a wedding.

Relationships are easy to establish on the Internet. Not all the dating sites are out to fleece you of your money. However, it would be advisable to remember that the number of people who are searching for love on the Internet increases each day.

Anyone wanting to find a date and establish a relationship, might have a better chance of meeting, in the library or large bookstore. Browse the book shelves, pick up a book and sit at the table with a cup of coffee. Look around. If by chance, you see a single man or woman sitting at a nearby table, smile and ask if they mind sharing the table.

The worse that can happen is they shake their head, as if to say, they are not interested. The best that can happen is that you hit if off. And, there are no joining fees to pay, and a possibility that you might meet the love of your life.

Visit a museum or an art show? Some museums set aside one night a month geared to dating. Focus on any of your interests, and search places that you might find others, who like you, have the same interests.

The worse thing that you can do is to stay at home and feel sorry for yourself. Trust me, I know, that Mr or Ms Right will not knock on your door. You have to go out there and find them.
