Initially when my daughter left college she used a couple of the free computer dating sites you see advertised. It worked all right for her, but she had trouble with people exaggerating their information and many of the guys were really not interested in long term relationships, just a good time. So after a year or so she joined paid dating sites. The profiles were much more extensive, the quality of the matches was much better for her. It was not magic, there were several false starts, sometimes hard to get past that three month benchmark. Eventually she seems to have found someone!
