How much is too much to pay for a dating service?

If it's more than $40 a month, its too much. And that's the upper end of the dating service fees.
Dating services that charge a flat fee like Two of Us, Together, etc are far too much and do not deliver. Great Expectations (are they still around?) are too expensive as well as Its Just Lunch. You are better off with using 1 or 2 online dating services.

Ladies, don't do searches for guys on a dating site. Let the guys find you. Only reply to a man who has contacted you, that is if you're interested in him. Why? Because if a guy is interested he will contact you. You do not want to chase a man that's not interested in you. Don't ever chase a man!! That's his job, its his nature and besides its undignified for a woman to chase a man. And if he is not chasing you... Hello, he ain't interested in you. Move on to the next guy. Now I will get off my soap box.

I'll discuss speed dating or hurry date in a future blog.

American Singles & Chemistry dating services

I recently tried AmericanSingles.com and sorry,,, I do not recommend it unless you want to waste your time with instant messaging. I am currently trying Chemistry.com and I am having some luck with it. So you may to give it try for a month or 2.

Back to the instant message thing, ladies, do not waste your time. Not likely to hook up with anyone that way.
