TheHotSpotGuide.com Gives Advice for Singles Interested in 100% Free Online Dating

So you're thinking about giving free online dating a shot? I don't blame you in real life an average date costs about fifty dollars, that's crazy. Dating online can be fun, easy, and well cheap. Today we're going to discuss what to watch out for when considering dating on the web. After reading this you'll have a pretty good idea on what to avoid when checking out a dating site, here goes...

1. When browsing through the search results for free online dating be careful when reading about these sites. You may find that the big time dating sites that claim to be free are not free at all. A simple way to double check if the site is free is to read their "About Us" section. This way you won't waste your time in filling out a profile and then get charged for using their features. When reading their "About Us" section, don't fall for their clever slogans like, "Paying for quality dating gets you quality results." Whatever, there are tons of free online dating sites that won't charge you anything for their features, and most of the time these free dating sites have even more features than the sites that charge you!

2. Be cautious about the number of ads you see on some free online dating sites. When you're checking out a dating site and all of a sudden your screen is flooded with flashing ads, Get Out! These "pop-ups" are sometimes infected with viruses and bugs that could very well damage your computer. Another example of inappropriate ad placement is if you do decide to fill out a profile on a free dating site and you're required to click on an ad before moving on to the next step, Get Out! You should enjoy your dating experience, you shouldn't be hassled by a greedy dating site that wants to make money by bombarding their members with huge pop-ups.

3. Keep your privacy. If you decide to fill out a profile for a free online dating site make sure you can go and edit your personal information, like your email address, at anytime. The free online dating sites that won't let you do this are pretty ridiculous. These dating sites usually email you regularly, like 10-20 times a day, with fake messages stating that someone is interested in you or something along those lines just to keep you coming back. Sometimes these dating sites sell your email address to people who email you even more ridiculous emails. Be careful with your privacy.

4. Security is key. When you join a free online dating site make sure that there is a CAPTCHA system or some sort of security system installed within the mail section of the site. There are plenty of scam-artists out there waiting to strike sites without security systems. They are called robots. They can send thousands to tens of thousands of emails to people through an inbox without security. You don't want false emails when trying to find a date, it's cruel and annoying.

5. One last thing to look out for is if the free online dating site offers all of their features for free. A lot of dating sites say they are 100% free online dating and offer free features except for one or two. These features normally include camera chat and match making services. There are only a few dating sites that offer these features for free-one of them being TheHotSpotGuide.com. You can read more about TheHotSpotGuide.com in my bio.
