It might take a bit to find what site is the more popular one in your area. So don't just use one and then quit - it can take a bit of searching! Try out free ones, although there are usually more people just looking for hook ups as they aren't going to pay to get matched up.

It can't hurt to use one - at least you can meet people your age! I joined up with the one used in my area - it's mostly for hookups. I joined while sick out of boredom. Well, I've actually met an amazing guy off it. We aren't dating but who knows if it will go that way. You can be clear about what you are looking for on the site and that will help narrow down people who will communicate with you. You won't waste as much time because you will be able to see who is looking for sex, relationships or just friends.
