Are you new to online dating and not quite ready to invest your hard-earned money with online singles dating websites? Most singles are a little skeptical of forking over membership fees when they really aren’t sure a)what they get for their money and b) whether it will be the right fit for them. Fortunately, there are 4 amazing free singles dating websites you should try and I’ve scouted them each for you! Chances are, if you’re online dating, you have a profile on OkCupid!

There are a ton of people using OkCupid and about half of them are relatively normal! Ok, in all seriousness, once you weed out the fetishists and hookers, there are a lot of high quality people looking for love and relationships on OkCupid. There are also plenty of people looking for a hook-up, but if that’s your thing, then I encourage you to go forth and date! I’m a fairly monogamous dater, but if you’re looking for couples or people looking for adventure, you can find that on OkCupid

Or, as those of us in the know call it, POF. I’d rank Plenty of Fish as a little more of a “date” versus “relationship” site, but I have a good friend who had a lot of successful dates through Plenty of Fish. I think it is the same as with any free online dating site—you have to weed out the creeps and weirdos before you can find the nice, decent, and intelligent folks. POF keeps itself free by posting ads on the site, which can sometimes get annoying, but I understand why they need to do it

Tinder is my guilty pleasure. I’d love to say that I’ve met anyone from it, but listen, it’s a really fun tool when you’re bored or looking to hook-up. I’m more of a relationship kinda girl, as I said above, but if you’re looking for a Mr. Right for Tonight, Tinder’s the place for you to go. Believe it or not, I believe Tinder can be a serious online dating tool, but you have to put up photos that show off your best side (versus a bikini or topless photo).
