Despite your apprehension you want to explore online dating. You have read a few success stories, you already spend quite a bit of time online and it just seems like such an unlimited and exciting possibility. But you want to do it properly so that you can get the most out of your experience. So how do you pick an online dating service that is right for you?

1. What do you want? To pick a service that is right for you, you must define clearly what it is that you want.

a. Type of relationship? Do you want a relationship that can develop into a long term commitment or do you just want a short term fling? Or do you want only friendship? Be clear in your mind what sort of relationship you want.

b. Type of partner? What are the characteristics that you want your partner to have? What should they look like? In which age bracket should they be? How much should they be earning? How important is faith to you and what faith should your potential partner have? And be as honest and exhaustive as possible.

2. What services do you want? You must know the range and type of services that you want so that you can pick an online dating service that is right for you. Different dating services offer different packages. Some provide an evaluation and match up service while others just provide a forum to meet and leave you to do the rest for yourself? Do you want a dating service that just brings you together or do you want one that holds your hand? And how much support and services do you want? This will of course depend to a large degree on what you are looking for.

3. Cost of the service? To pick an online service that is right for you, you need to decide whether you want to pay for the service or not. There are free services and then there are those that require different levels of payments. What are you willing and able to pay for the services? Most online dating services have a basic free service that offers just a meeting forum with no additional service. Additional services are then charged extra and you pay depending on what services you want.

4. Privacy? You need to determine how much discretion you want so that you can pick an online dating service that is right for you. Some online dating services only allow subscribers who pay a certain fee to access your profile while others only allow access to your profile after you give your consent while others allow access to your profile by any wondering browser. You may be uncomfortable with your friends or colleagues knowing that you are actively searching for a partner online. Or you may not care at all. How much privacy do you want in your online dating adventure?

If you consider and take into account each of the 4 issues then you will be able to pick a service that is right for you.
