Trying Out An Internet Dating Site - Trial Memberships Versus Free Memberships

Posted on May 26th, 2008 in RSS Feed Icon Baby Blog

After you've done some initial shopping, your first task is to sign up for some trial memberships so you can evaluate what the dating sites have to offer. And the tour of the site makes it seem trouble free to sign up and find someone. Like other aspects of the online dating process, however, this is less simple than it appears.

First, you have to understand the differences between the two types of dating service trial runs for which you can sign up: trial memberships and free memberships.

Trial memberships

Trial memberships give you full access to most (but perhaps not all) of a site's email, chat, and instant messaging features for a fixed amount of time typically, 5 to 10 days. During that period, you'll be able to respond to email and chat inquiries that members leave for you after you create your own profile and put it online. You may be able to initiate email with people who interest you, although the level of functionality varies from site to site; and, you may be able to respond only during the trial period and not approach people directly.

Some sites require that you submit a credit card number in order to sign up for the free trial (HispanicInternetDating does not by the way); you will be notified by email when your free time is about to expire. If you don't submit an official notice of cancellation, your credit card account will be charged automatically.

Free memberships

Most dating sites willow you to become a member and post a profile online for free. You can browse and search indefinitely, with no obligation to become a subscriber. Your ability to create a profile should not be limited; you should be able to create a full profile and respond to all the questions included in the form, rather than a partial profile.

Free memberships are called memberships because they require that you create a screen name and password, and then submit some information to the site. Your ability to move beyond browsing and viewing other member profiles is limited, however. For example, you usually do not have the ability to send or receive email or instant messages with other members.
